Hi, you've probably got all this sorted by now or your retinas are now non-functional :)
Anyhow, on Linux Mint19.3 the screen brightness slider is in the power managament applet. I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu but MInt and Ubuntu are very similar basically just different front ends. So perhaps check out the Ubuntu power management functioning. Hope this helps

Lenovo Ideapad 5 display; monitor brightness and color issue
I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad 5; 16:9 resolution, UHD graphics.
Long story short, the display is super harsh and my retinas are melting. Toning down the brightness doesn't fix the issue. Neither does fussing with the night light/ blue light filter. The backlight is very strong and I feel like the color levels need adjusting, but I have no idea how to go about that. I went to the color profile to see if I could fuss with that, but there I got a bit stuck. The only device listed is the laptop screen itself. The dropdown box reads 'Automatic- 81YH' There is no option to create a new profile. It does have the option to delete the exiting profile, but I didn't know if that would screw things up. Does anyone have some suggestions for me? I'm a desperate Ubuntu novice.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.1 / Gnome 3.36.8
