Value for money

I love this product. It’s such good value for money and genuinely improves the look and feel of my skin. I also enjoy the oil like feel such helps my gua sha to glide over the skin.

First retinol

This was my first retinol and I had no reaction to using it. I started off slow and built it up to be able to use it nearly every day. I have noticed some results, but I need to increase my strength I think to get the results that I want.

A favourite

I love this serum and I purchase it often. It leaves my skin feeling very hydrated and soft. I can also use it with my microcurrent devices.

First time using retinol

I'm definitely seeing a difference in my skin - I've had a few minor blemishes whilst my skin gets used to it. But considering I have very sensitive skin - I'm honestly very impressed 😁

Works just as well as other premium brands

Let’s talk retinol! So it’s not for everyone and you need to be patient when using. Build up a tolerance depending on how your skin reacts. Use plenty of moisturer after use and drink plenty of water. I use this for uneven, aging, pigmented skin. I noticed real results after about 8 weeks. I started with 0.025% and built up to 0.05%. My skin won’t tolerate higher strength and I’m ok with this. I don’t want to damage the good work that’s been done already by pushing my limits. If you’re new to retinols this would be a good place to start. I’d also recommend getting into a daily basic routine with skincare products. Don’t swap and change products because something catches your eye, this just sets you back in my opinion. Allow skin time to adjust and get used to your routine, is it easy? Nope but by sticking to a routine you’ll notice less imperfections and your skin become flawless!

I think great?

I think I do like this product thanks to retinol but it does leave my skin a little greasy and I'm conscious squalane might block my pores. My skin is very sensitive so I think I'll take a break from using the product, see if there's any difference, and get back in a week or two.
