Retinol Cream for Face 2.5% with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamins E & B5, 1.7 fl. oz.

Worth more than a $1000 Fraxel
I rarely leave reviews, mostly because I’m lazy, but this cream needs its praises sung! Being a lazy individual, I rarely take care of my skin the way I should, I often forget sunscreen and almost never wash my makeup off before bed. Looking for a quick fix I purchased a fraxel laser peel with my dermatologist.. which made me skin look great.. for a few weeks. I quickly started to see sun spots even though I had been wearing sunscreen per my doctors post op recommendations and was not pleased with this at all. I purchased this cream to help with these unsightly spots as well as the fine lines around my eyes that Botox just doesn’t affect. I wish I had just used this cream instead of spending almost $1000 on fraxel, the results are amazing, quick, painless and cheap! My skin tone is even and the texture is smooth! And to be honest I only put it on when I remember to, which is maybe a few nights a week. Get it.

Hydrating but not as effective on dark spots as I would like
I’ve been using this product for almost a month now. I do not use it everyday as I understood the provided directions stating that when the product increases sensitivity to the sun so it is best to apply every other day or so when first starting to use it. I purchased this product in hopes of decreasing the dark spots I have on my cheeks due to what I believe are hyperpigmentation scars from acne 🙁 however I use another similar product (Vitamin C Serum for Face with Hyaluronic Acid, 20% C + E Professional Topical Facial Skin Care Helps Repair Sun Damage, Fade Age Spots, Dark Circles) so it’s hard to pinpoint which is most effective. I believe that together, they’ve helped reduce my dark spots but after almost 30 days of use, I would have hoped for more of an improvement. I do not have any photos, but I still use coverup everyday to cover my dark spots although I did notice that the less serious, lighter spots have definitely improved. I suppose the really tragic, daaaark spots will need more time. Overall, I feel that this product is of high quality as it is very hydrating – the areas I apply it to are immediately refreshened although I feel that is almost leaves a layer of moisture that I’m not particularly comfortable with, kind of like when you have sunscreen on your face. Thus I only apply it at night right before I go to bed. Otherwise it would probably bother me all day. Fortunately, it does not have any apparent negative affects on my skin – no breakouts or patches – phew. It does increase sun sensitivity so sunscreen is definitely recommended, but sunscreen should be worn everyday regardless so I guess it’s just another important reason to apply sunscreen daily. There is a mild scent that I do not find offensive or bothersome. The cream spreads easily and only requires a small amount to cover a lot of surface area, which is great. In addition to treating my acne scars, I feel as though my acne problem has also ceased – yay! But I’m still not sure if it’s due to this product in particular or another one that I am using. All I know is that it didn’t make my acne worse.

I bought this for my teenager who has acne. She uses Vit C serum first then this. Sometimes we use a Manuka honey(raw) face mask. She has very sensitive skin. It is reasonably priced and not too harsh so the skin does not “rebel” against it. However if there are underlying reasons for acne such as Polycystic ovaries or excess testosterone, this will only stem the tide. Nevertheless the cream does help and is not like the rip-off or harsh abrasive products pervading the internet. It does not destroy the skin either, it conditions without grease and gently brightens it so that once the underlying problem is sorted out you will still have a skin left! I would highly recommend this product as a good quality, no nonsense part of a skin regime whilst examining the deeper causes of acne. I have also tried this cream and found it a light and effective base – I actually think my skin looks brighter for it. I have spent far too much on heavily advertised products with big promises. This quietly marketed product does the same with better quality ingredients.

I am using this product mainly for the furrow in my brow & for some wrinkles that I’ve had above my mouth. The cream has made a big difference in reducing the wrinkles above my lip & some difference in the furrow in my brow. For maximum effect of this cream I would recommend that users drink enough water, get enough sleep & take some form of collagen internally.
