How do I know if this product is authentic?
I've ordered the retinol twice now and I love it! I wash my face, do my under eye gels until they dry, use the retinol, then the power essence, then the moisturizer, letting each one dry and soak in before using the next. I love this concoction. You'll have to order the retinol more often than the others, and obviously it's going to be a little more expensive, but it's totally worth it, and definitely on the cheaper side compared to other brands. It's lightweight and sits well under makeup, hydrating, the texture is smooth, never lumpy, and I definitely feel like I glow after my routine. Great products at a great price!
I’m not joking you when I say this little thing has some might. The first time I used it I couldn’t believe how soft my skin was the next morning, baby bottom soft. I got it to take a break from prescription tretinoin during the summer, give my skin a summer break;) because my skin gets a little more sensitive and dry when I use tretinoin for a prolonged period of time and though this is not as strong as tretinoin, it’s very moisturizing and lightly exfoliating my skin without the dryness and patchiness. I love, love, love it but I hate the smell. The only way I can describe it as it smells like onions to me. It has that kind of pungent smell, first time I used it I thought it’s gone bad but I tell that the benefits outweigh the smell. Totally worth it. I bought a second one as I’m almost done with the first and it’s dropped in price by $7 so I’m happy about that. Some people mentioned that it’s very small but I only use a pea size and it lasts me over a month if used everyday which is pretty good deal to me. I highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin and as a great substitute for tretinoin or just a substitute for when your skin needs a little break from harsh retinoids. Btw, I keep mine in the fridge to preserve the potency.
my skin is very finicky. sensitive at times, oily t-zone, pores, blackheads, occasional breakouts, but an extremely dry and flaky forehead- always! this cream worked wonders at making my skin very clear and soft. my skin looked and felt noticeably different after using for a week. i used a pea sized amount every night until i used the tube up. took me about a month to go through it. the ONLY downside is the smell. i read that retinol can go rancid and that it should be stored in the fridge to avoid the off-putting “garlicky” smell. i did just that and it still smelled “off”. the smell almost had a hint of pee to it, as well. not sure if i’ll purchase again because im very sensitive to smells, but i LOVED what it did for my skin and might check out their other retinol products. if the scent isn’t an issue for you, then this would be a must buy.
