Best retinol! Highly recommend!!

Awesome skincare product! Highly recommend by a skincare junkie!!!! Great retinol, strong, but not too strong! It is just perfect!! I highly recommend, definitely will see improvement in your overall skin complexion. 10 stars

Soooo wow!!! This stuff is serious!!! I highly advise to start out slow when beginning with a retinoid product. I, on the other hand, dove in and was using it twice a day which was kind of a mistake. My face was on fiyah!!! But I did start peeling which uncovered new soft skin. I have since backed down to using it once a day and still peel but that’s ok cuz I know when using retinoids that slow and steady wins the race. I plan on using this product for the next 6 to 8 months in order to get the full benefit on my 50 something year old skin. The benefits I have seen thus far have been awesome as I use this in conjunction with a Korean skin care regimen. In the beginning I had red, irritated skin with a few breakouts, which is normal for the first few weeks. You don’t need a lot of this product at all. A pea size will do the trick. I also use it on the back of my hands and neck and chest area. Lastly, I do apply a good sunscreen. You do not want any sun exposure while treating your skin with any type of retinoid.

little pricey i like it

I use this on my face, décolletage, neck, behind my ears, and top of hands at night about 30 minutes before I lay down. It’s working wonders!! I’ve used it for a little while now and right off the bat it helped with my eye bags I seem to get when I sleep nowadays. This is a HUGE deal for me as I’ve tried so many home remedies to help with this and nothing worked, even so far as putting my whole face in an ice bath (hello brain freeze). It’s improving my skin texture and helping with dullness. Make sure you only use at night and avoid using too much, if any, around the very thin parts of your eyes as it can cause flaking to occur bc your skin doesn’t exfoliate in that area as fast and this product causes you to produce more cells aka ending up with too much equals flakings. I use it twice a week and that took about 4 weeks to get up to. If you use it too often you’ll get flakes as well, kinda looks like a sunburn peeling.Don’t use if your skin is damaged from the sun or if you plan on being in the sun the next day. It’s basically damaging your skin so your body sends more collagen to that area to “heal” it so if you damage it with the product and then with the sun then it’s overwhelming and can harm your skin vs helping it.Sunscreen constantly. I set an alarm on my phone for every two hours to reapply.If you use this product correctly it can do wonders for your appearance but please do a reasonable amount of research before you use. Happy customer here, good luck beauties!!
