20 Best Night Serums For 30S (2023 Updated)

I have used this on my face and neck at night since November 2021. It is soothing going on (use on neck, too) and my skin drinks it up! I see results in the overall smoothness of my skin and actual reduction in fine lines and just the overall “bumpiness” that has developed over time.

I have extremely sensitive skin (general consensus is that I am sensitive to most preservatives). I have tried many of the other brand “dermatologist approved” lotions and cleansers (many quite expensive) and have reacted badly to them.

My husband started using the ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica sunscreen and had good results, so I tried it and did not react! Since them, I’ve tried many ISDIN products, had great results and love them all!.

I’m 40, Caucasian, and female and only recently started using adult skin products. I’ve had a lot of good experiences recently with retinol but my skin tends to be on the dryer side especially with all the sun exposure that I get here in Hawaii, so I found myself in need of something that would repair my skin as well as give me the benefits of retinol without the drying properties.

My aesthetician gave me a sample of this and immediately I was hooked by the incredibly light and fresh scent, How satiny smooth it glided onto my skin, and how refreshed my skin looked the next day.

It’s a great alternative to a retinol serum but works just as well.

If you don’t like the downtime of starting a retinol or retin-A or have sensitive skin, this product is for you. Absolutely no irritation but still all the benefits. Smells absolutely amazing! Your skin will drink this stuff up before bed and look absolutely radiant.

One of my all time favorites. A bit pricey at $150, but will last 3-4 months easily.

This is a 3-in-1 AHA resurfacing nigh serum that hydrates and clarifies dull skin for a healthy natural glow. It is formulated with a 14% AHA/BHA/gentle flower acids blend to reveal a more youthful-looking complexion.

Benefits: * Resurfaces dull skin: a blend of AHA from lactic, glycolic, citric and fruit acids exfoliates dead skin cells, promotes cell renewal, targets hyperpigmentation and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

* Refines pores: BHA from willow bark, a natural source of salicylic acid, helps visibly diminish pore size. * Gently exfoliates: flower acids from hibiscus extract help exfoliate and clarify skin. * Hydration: Hyaluronic acid, along with proprietary honey blend, deliver intense yet gentle hydration.

This night serum is exactly what my combination to dry skin needs during these colder winter months when my skin is looking dull and dry. This serum makes my dry skin feel softer and provides instant and long-lasting hydration.

After cleaning and toning my skin, I apply 1-2 pumps in an even layer. I tap it into my skin for faster absorption. It goes on very smoothly. This serum has a smooth, luxurious texture and feels very lightweight on my skin.

It has a light tingling effect on application but it does not irritate my skin. It absorbs fast without leaving a greasy residue. I love how it instantly soothes and hydrates my dry skin. I wake up to skin that looks brighter, softer and smoother and my skin has a beautiful radiant glow.

After using this serum twice weekly for a couple of weeks, I have noticed that my pores are less visible and that my overall skin texture looks smoother. This is a beautiful serum that instantly gives you a radiant honeymoon glow!.

Actually smells like honey to me. Which I find to be a pleasant smell. I think if you like the smell of beeswax candles, you wouldn’t mind the smell of this product. That said, AHA is an acid so yes, it does sting, ESPECIALLY if you’re not using a moisturizer/oil underneath this.

Also, the honey in it does make the product feel sticky going on. These things don’t bother me because putting this on at night definitely leaves you with a natural glow in the morning. Acne scars / hyperpigmentation is noticeably better the morning after as well.

Also, this is one of those rare products that’s good for acne scars / hyperpigmentation AND acne. Pimples are smaller after use. A lot of the time I find what’s good for acne isn’t as good for the scarring / hyperpigmentation and what’s good for scarring / hyperpigmentation irritates acne! This isn’t the case with the Honeymoon Glow.

That said, I think the frequency of its use will depend on your skin type. I rotate it between 3 other products to give my skin a break too.

I’m using a combination of other anti aging products, so it’s not clear exactly if this product specifically is the reason my skin feels soft, hydrated and smooth. But I’ve had no issues using this product and I’m almost done the bottle.

I did not have any redness or irritation, but I also have normal skin type. I started off using it twice a week as instructed by a Sephora employee. Then slowly to every night as tolerated and have had no issues.

Ever since I started using it, I’ve noticed I’m getting significantly less breakouts and my skin doesn’t get oily during the day anymore. I used to break out easily but now I’ve fully developed normal skin for the first time in my life! I’m in my late 20s for reference.

The scent is not strong so I was surprised when I saw some reviews saying the smell is horrible. It also has a “clean green” stamp which is very important to me. Perhaps it has that scent some people seem to hate because they do not add synthetic fragrances? Anyway, 5 stars for me! Will purchase again.

I just go this and I must say it does burn, if you over exfoliated your face. My skin does seem like it’s smoother but I do exfoliate my face. One thing that I do want to note is that my forehead gets really oily.

I think using this product is reducing the over production of oil on my forehead. My face seems to be evening out in oil, different zones. I’ve been using this on my neck as well and it feels so smooth!! I will continue to use this product and see how it goes.

So far so good. No allergic reactions, nothing that really concerns me. I also do want to say that I think this is a very potent formula due to the burn and the smell. It is not mal odored, it just smells like it’s strong formula, which is a good thing!!.

I love my new nighttime serum! The ingredient list is amazing! Being that I suffer from acne, I try to steer clear from oils and things of that nature, but this nighttime serum also has Salicylic acid in it, which is great.

When I put it on at night, I feel it tingling, doing its job and when I wake up in the morning, my skin is glowing. Great product Tree of Life!.

First of all, the price is right ! The price caught my eye initially, but then I was very interested in the amazing amount of ingredients in one serum! It’s a wonderful cocktail that really takes care of most of your skincare needs! Its milky, and soaks in so beautifully, my skin feels better after using it.

I have faith that once I use it for awhile, I’ll see a noticeable difference in my skin! I adore that it’s cruelty free and vegan, and really smells natural. I feel good using it on my face and I’ll continue using this brand!.

The burning is normal! You’ll also experience redness and puffyness. It’s called retinization, and it is the adjustment period in which the skin adapts to a retinoid treatment. During this time, skin may become irritated, resulting in dryness, scaling, redness or a burning or stinging sensation.

These symptoms should begin to subside within the first week. By week 4, you shouldn’t feel any burning or tingling at all. Just be sure to start slow like the instructions say. And be sure to use at least 30 SPF before heading into the Sun, as well as throughout the day.

Nuetrogena makes a great SPF facial mist for a quick spritz when you’re out and about. For relief of the “Retinol Burn”, Cica cream works great to relieve all of the symptoms after using Retinol, or after having any other facial treatment like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, etc.

I like La Roche Posey’s Cica cream. Use this in place of anything else after using the retinol for the first few weeks, in addition to your daily SPF. When first using retinol, it’s best to stay away from any exfoliation products, peels, salycilic acids, etc.

as this will severely irritate your skin. Also be sure to use a gentle face wash. I like the Derm-E Calming CBD Face Wash. After you adjust to the Retinol you will start to see all of the benefits. It really does wonders for the skin, especially with texture, pores, fine lines, etc.

It should be a staple in every woman’s face care routine starting in their 20’s! Unless your doctor advises otherwise. All in all it’s a great product, it’s pure retinol, it doesn’t require refrigeration, the price is reasonable.

It works.

I was thrilled to get my first VoxBox review these two L’Oréal items, however, I definitely underestimated their potency! My first thought at seeing this retinol serum on the back of my hand was honestly one of disappointment, but I now believe I was too quick to judge its potency by first glance.

Having once had a career in the cosmetics industry, I’d always been taught that retinol products should be yellow, and the darker the yellow the more potent – so when I saw this was a very pale yellow not near as vibrant as some of the other retinol products I’ve used I wrongly assumed it must be weak.

My bottle also didn’t list a retinol percentage that I could find but after looking at the product page on L’Oréal’s website I learned it is a 0. 3% pure retinol serum which is a very nice mid-strength retinol (which is more-than-adequate for most users).

Because I am a high-strength retinol user skincare junkie I thought that I would have no issues with adding both this serum the 3. 5% Glycolic Acid Cleanser to my routine at the same time. but boy was I WRONG! I believe the glycolic acid cleaner was the main product of the two to actually irritate my skin (my neck chest especially), but I simply can’t know if it was one or the other or a combination of both.

Let me state for the record that I have never been prone to much skin sensitivity so my reaction was quite perplexing to me, but I’m also not one to give up on products easily. After a period of letting everything heal up which has taken a couple of weeks, I’m anxious to start again, this time with just the glycolic acid cleanser using my normal retinol serum.

After tolerating the cleanser once daily every other day for at least 1-2 weeks I plan to add the retinol serum back in. I think a huge part of my sensitivity issue was micro-needling with my BeautyBio GloPro after cleansing with the GA Cleanser then following with this retinol — it was all way too much too soon, so I strongly caution against this!!! In the pictures you’ll notice most of my redness is in my neck chest area I believe the reason for this is that I was using the glycolic acid cleanser in the shower on my neck/chest area too that area usually doesn’t get that much exposure to actives like GA.

My face was not nearly as red but it did burn/sting equally as bad. Once again, this was not the products fault but my own for going overboard. I love L’Oréal am so excited they’re offering products like these which are significant in strength as well as Paraben Free, Fragrance Free, Silicone Free, etc.

so I‘m hopeful this next time around that I’ll have a much better experience now that I’ve seen firsthand just how potent these products are! If you are new to retinol please start slowly exactly as directed I promise your skin will thank you for it you will see results.

I’m a firm believer that anyone over the age of 25 should be using retinol religiously my skin at 44 is a testimony to this. and whatever you do, NEVER forget your sunscreen! At this price point you simply can’t go wrong! Will update again soon if I have something new to report!.

This product is REALLY good. I have pale skin and the sun damage on my face is super visible and noticeable. As I’m going in my younger 20s, i have heard to start using Vitamin C products during the day for an anti aging treatment.

I read that this was a super light vitamin C and that it was safe to use everyday. I even read that this could be combined with the BHA toner from Biossance since they are both so gentle. Well let me tell you, that did not work for me.

I used the BHA squalene toner and the Vitamin C serum together ONCE. By the end of the day, my face felt super greasy, which is unusual for me because i have normal to dry skin. No irritation whatsoever afterwards.

I used this serum everyday for a week straight after that without the toner. My face got SUPER irritated. It was so bad that even my squalene and amino aloe cleanser was contributing to redness in my face.

But don’t worry, it was nothing that a little vaseline couldn’t fix. As I have learned from my mistake, this product and probably any other vitamin C products shouldn’t be used everyday when it is your first time trying this product.

Take your time, slowly transition into a routine, a little break out and redness can happen, but it’s all about getting to know your sensitivity on your face. Now I learned a proper routine to use this without irritation, my face has never been so glowy.

I can already see a difference in sun damage being reversed and acne scars lightening, so this product is definitely worth it! Just don’t make the same mistake I made in the beginning. And remember, everyone’s skin is different.

Just because this worked for me, that does not guarantee that it will work for you. Definitely give this product a try!.

I was waiting to finish a bottle before writing a review. I bought this serum knowing that it takes time to lighten dark spots (and difficult). After using this for about 5 months very generously every morning, I discovered using it makes my skin more moist and definitely has brightened my skin.

My mom who I see only once every few months immediately noticed that my skin looked clearer and brighter and said my skin looked like it was glowing. I bought this mostly for anti-aging preventive measures and wanted to see if it would do anything for my dark spots.

I still have dark spots (they might be freckles) but my overall skin is much clearer. I only use it in the morning and I found it works better in the morning for me because it doesn’t mess with any of my night time routines.

I think it’s a good general serum that has benefits. I have generally clear skin so I’m not sure if there are any other benefits but overall it helped brighten my skin (just don’t forget sunscreen!).

Biossance products are generally hit or miss for me, but I really really love this one! It has a beautiful milky texture that absorbs really well and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy like most vitamin c serums.

I’ve noticed some overall brightening to my skin and fading of hyperpigmentation, but am not sure if it can be fully attributed to this product as I’m using it in conjunction with a few other targeted actives in my routine.

This serum is very sensitive skin friendly, and I also enjoy using it under my eyes. The texture is incredibly nourishing as well, and I find this eliminates the need for a separate hydrating toner or serum in my routine.

All of that being said, it’s still a lot of money to drop at once for a product containing a form of vitamin c that lacks peer reviewed scientific evidence to back up its claims, aka all of my results are purely anecdotal.

But this has been my favourite vitamin c serum I’ve ever used (pure Ascorbic acid serums don’t play well with my skin personally), so I highly recommend if you have more sensitive skin and can justify the price point!.

*disclaimer: I’ve acclimated my skin to handle higher concentrations of retinol so go slow under apply if first trying retinol in your routine…pea size small. I’m a pretty big fan of Sunday Riley’s products.

They work well with my skin I enjoy them so this is a brand I’ve acquired a collection of. Consider this one of my “heavy hitting” oils. I’m a lover of certain ingredients…retinol blue tansy happen to be two of those ingredients, then for them to be in the same formulation is even better.

Love the calming effect the blue tansy provides that can help with any of the “retinol uglies” that may occur (I’ve never experienced any type of retinization side effects with this). With this being in an oil format I always apply this during my night routine 2-3x’s a week max or I mix this in with the A+ Serum.

I’ve also found that applying this oil before moisturizer is better for me as long as I let the oil fully absorb wait to follow up with a moisturizer about 15mins after applying. The use of retinyl ester helps with the associated irritation revolving around retinol use in general.

If I’m applying at the end of my routine I always apply this with clean hands…no toner, moisturizer etc. Bc of the format itself being blue, if I do not allow this to fully absorb it can transfer that color tone to my pillow so I make sure to really add some pressure while patting this in.

Now, this is one oil that is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea that’s bc the 1. 18oz/35mL bottle is going to cost roughly around $100. The half ounce is right at $55. If you’re into the more “luxe” skincare products this is a nice night oil to add sparingly to your routine.

I’ve been wanting to try Sunday Riley for a distance now, so I was thrilled when I opened the box from Topbox Circle, to see Sunday Riley, Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil and I’m skin care oil obsessed.

😴 *Note I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. 🎁 I had to take away my regular night oil that I’ve been fan-girling on and implement Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil into my routine.

🦉 Before I start using a product I want to know what it is supposed to do and see if it actually delivers. Sunday Riley says: -Retinol: Helps fight the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, support natural skin elasticity, and exfoliates for smoother-looking skin.

– Blue Tansy and German Chamomile: Soothes the look of surface redness. – Avocado Seed Oil and Chia Seed Oil: Minimizes the appearance of fine lines. 🥑 The scent: I mainly note the Chamomile with hints of ocean water, although there isn’t ocean water in it, but as you can see, a variety of oils.

It’s pleasant and vanishes relatively quickly. 🌼 The color is a surprising deep blue, a first in the oils I’ve tried. With a good amount of rubbing the color fades to clear. 💙⚪ The oil sits on top of the skin and even in the morning I could still feel the oil; it doesn’t fully absorb into the skin over night, even using less.

After a week of using it, I can see that it delivered smoother skin and it was soothing for my skin. 😌 I can see over time, the benefits of continued use and I’m thinking also it may be more beneficial for me in winter months when my skin is dryer from the weather.

⛄ I’m interested in trying more of their products. 🧖‍♀️ I had no negative skin reactions. 👍 *Note: Do not get this on your clothes, it stains even after a washing. 🚰 Do you have a skincare product want, but just haven’t got yet? 🛒 Love ❤️ and don’t forget to save 👇🏼 @sundayriley @TOPBOX @sephoracanada.

Not for use during pregnancy. because retinoids can result in multiple effects on the developing embryo and fetus including miscarriage, premature delivery, and a variety of birth defects. *Had to google pregnancy and retinol to understand why this warning label was applied.

* I got this #freeproduct to #trywithtopbox in exchange with my honest review. I used this product at night time as suggested, with no other skin care products. Used 4 drops on my facial massager to apply this oil and had too much excess.

Within a few days I had a break out along my jawline and a small patch of skin under my bottom lip was raw. I stopped using the product until my skin healed and tried it again with my normal skin care routine and only used 2 drops, much better application and no excess! I don’t really like the herbally scent but you get used to it.

The texture was ok for an oil product, found it to be more like water consistency. I really loved the blue to clear transformation! Sadly I didn’t notice any difference in my skin after using this product, but I would love to see this product without the retinol!.

Formulated with 10% glycolic acid, it surely provided me with radiance, clarity and an even skin tone. What I like is that Cucumber and Aloe Vera extract calmed and nourished my dry skin! The serum is thick transparent gel consistency with no fragrance (Pus Point) ☺️Admittedly, this was my first ever chemical exfoliant and I straight onto jumped to 10% glycolic acid.

Thankfully, my skin didn’t cause any adverse reaction as such. There was slight skin purging but it became normal in about 3 days. First time users, I’d recommend starting with something rather more gentle.

Being quite a concentrate, I don’t overindulge and restrict to using it only twice a week, PM only. I use 2 drops directly on my face using the dropper and pat gently. Then I wait for about 30secs to a minute and follow up with a moisturizer.

I can’t stress more on the use of sunscreen the next morning to avoid redness and rashes.

This serum contains AHAs, not recommended for skin that has never been exposed to exfoliating ingredients as this serum could seem to overpower the skin. If you wish to introduce exfoliating ingredients like AHAs, maybe you may try with the PIXI toners first.

As for this serum,it works fine, gives a hydrated, radiant appearance the night after usage. However, for first time users, make sure you know your skin condition, and ensure your skin is well hydrated before applying this serum, especially for those with dry, sensitive skin.

you can prep your skin with a soothing and calming toner before using this.

Ease into using this product to prevent “purging” if you have acne prone skin, especially if you have active acne. I am very sensitive to new products so I was reluctant to use this, but I’m so glad I tried it, it has really done wonders for my skin.

I added this product to help get rid of hyper-pigmentation (from cystic acne) and fine lines. Started by using it 3 times a week, increased now to nightly. I have noticed my skin is more even, smooth and has a softness and “glow” in the morning and no new breakouts.

This is my cystic acne routine: 1. Wash with Cervae Moisturing Cleanser 2. Witch hazel toner with lavender on a cotton pad 3. [KLAIRS] Supple Preparation Facial Toner – helps absorption of skin care products 4.

1 drop of Pixi glow serum, 2 drops Origins Original Skin Essence Lotion with Dual Ferment Complex, and 2 pumps Cervae Night moisturizer. Mix all together into a watery paste and apply to face and neck.

5. Spray a hydrosol or face mist (I use Sister Creations Power repair, but there are many great products, even simple rose water works great) the key is to use “water” to help your skin absorb the products.

If my skin is feeling dry I add a drop of jojoba oil. Using combos of oil and water is what helps your skin get back it’s ph balance. Your skin is made of sweat and oil glands so using products in the same way as your skins natural makeup is what helps you get the best results.

Make sure you apply a sunscreen during the day.

I typically LOVE the DE line, but initially wanted to skip this product because I’d tried Marula Oil in the past and found it didn’t really seem to …do anything for my skin. I’m so glad I received this product complimentary to review because my mind is CHANGED! Just goes to show that just because one product doesn’t work, doesn’t mean another formulation won’t! I think the retinol in this product truly does make a difference, and perhaps the higher concentration of Marula oil does as well (DE says on their website that it makes up 95% of the formula!).

I fully expected not to see much with this product and give it an “eh” review, but I’ve been using it nonstop with noticeable results. As a fair skinned redhead , my skin turns red at the drop of a hat.

I’ve noticed that this product definitely helps cut down on my general redness, and my skin texture has been SO GOOD – super soft and smooth. I have super dry skin and don’t often see much results in terms of moisturizing effects with oils whether I use them alone or in combination with a cream moisturizer, but I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my skin as far as dryness when I use this with my (holy grail) Tatcha Dewy Cream.

I definitely think this product has a spot in anyones skin care regimen if you’re looking for smooth, soft skin or if you have issues with redness like I do. I don’t break out often, but I did have a few tiny spots that this oil seemed to help clear up, so that was an added bonus! I’d definitely be curious to give this stuff a shot next time I have an actual breakout to see if it makes any difference then as well.

If you’re on the fence about this product, I’d definitely say to go ahead and give it a go. It did take me a few applications (around 5 days straight of using the product) to really notice the changes, but when they came, they were definitely noticeable!.

I recieved this complimentary in exchange for my honest review. I have to say this is my newfound holy grail product and I am sooo glad I got to try it out! It comes in super cute recyclable packaging that was almost too pretty to open.

The product itself is formulated with vegan retinol and marula oil, as well as a couple other wonderfully clean ingredients. I love that the retinol is not only vegan, but it is also the most gentle, yet effective, retinol I have ever used on my sensitive, fair skin! I have red hair and freckles, and I have noticed a big change in my freckles and sun damage.

My freckles have lightened and my hyperpigmentation has smoothed out significantly. I have been using this nightly for the past 4 weeks and I will absolutely be purchasing more once I run out. Another amazing thing aboit this prouct though is that it only takes 2 to 3 drops to completely cover my entire face.

I usually use 1 additional drop for my neck and decollete’ area as well. The benefits of using this product have been endless and I really can’t say enough good things about it. It hydrates my combination skin thouroughly, but doesn’t leave a greasy residue like a lot of facial oils I’ve tried have.

My skin looks brightened and refreshed and the few fine lines I have are plumped and unnoticable. even at 40 years old! If you get a chance to, I would highly suggest picking this up and trying it out for yourself.

Oh, and did I mention it helps with breakouts and acne scars too! This product does it all! Not a nad price point for all clean ingredients and the endless benefits it has for your skin. I will be recommending this to everyone I know!.

I really did want to love this product but unfortunately it was just not good for my combo skin. It did have some pro’s which is why I gave it 3 stars! Overall the oil itself felt really good on my skin.

It sunk in super well and instantly made my skin feel super smooth and moisturized without leaving me super shiny (note: I only used this at night). I loved the packaging it came in, the syringe was easy to use and I didn’t experience any issues with it like I have with some other products with this type of packaging.

It also didn’t have too much of a scent which I liked as I tend to breakout more often with heavily scented products. As I said I really wanted this product to work but after using it for a few weeks I started to breakout and my pores seemed super clogged compared to before I was using this serum.

I tried to decrease the frequency of how often I used it, but it still seemed to disagree with my skin, which is probably the only reason why I had to say no to this one. I ended up giving it to my friend who has dry and less sensitive skin than me and she loved it.

She experienced no breakouts and her skin felt more moisturized, less textured and brighter! For the right skin I think this product would be great, just didn’t work out for me unfortunately.

I have been using this retinol serum for almost a month now, and so far am happy with it. I have sensitive/reactive + dry skin, and do not find the formulation of this to be irritating in the slightest.

I’m not usually a fan of skincare products that contain parfum/fragrance, however the fragrance in this one is so far down on the ingredient list + the product itself doesn’t really have much of a smell (this is a plus in my book).

I have been using Retin-A Micro for over 5 years now, however during the summer months I cease using it and opt for more gentle OTC retinol products that cause less photosensitivity like this Advanced Retinol Nightly Multi-Correct Serum.

Even with the limited amount of time I have been using this, I feel like it is doing a great job at keeping my fine lines minimized (particularly around the outer corners of my eyes and upper lip area).

If you’re new to using retinol, or find stronger Rx tretinoin products to be too irritating, this serum is an excellent place to start. The only reason I gave this 4/5 stars vs. 5/5 is because I personally did not see an improvement in multiple visible signs of aging in 7 days (or in my case, over 4 weeks of nightly use).

It is important to note again however that I am a seasoned retinol user + already have a fairly complex AM + PM skincare routine, so the results I get from any skincare product is usually minimal. If you’re new to skincare/anti-aging products, I imagine results would be much more impressive + visible much sooner.

I waited over two weeks to write this review—just to be sure that I really gave the product time to do it’s job (or not). The verdict? I LOVE IT! Retinol can be a tricky product. I’ve used others that were great, but made my skin sensitive.

I could not use retinol more than once a week due to the sensitivity, and assumed the same here. I started out carefully—once a week, at first without layering with other serums. Miraculously—no sensitivity! Then I upped it to twice and then three times a week, and tested layering with other products—all great results.

This serum is a wonderful product. It is silky and absorbs easily, with a really beautiful light fragrance that dissipates without irritation. I love waking up the next day to check my skin in the mirror afterwards—saying good morning to soft, glowing skin is the best feeling—it’s like getting a lil’ facial when you’re asleep.

Magically overnight skin becomes brighter, softer, and so dewy. Multitasking win! Finally, a retinol gentle enough to use daily and effective enough to REMEMBER to reach for! Officially adding this powerhouse to my regular rotation.

Our skincare dreams have been answered! Also Strivectin, can you maybe make a fragrance with this smell? I’m actually in love. Thank you!!.

I am 57 years old with a history of dry, sensitive, and sun damaged skin with deep forehead lines. I have used the Strivectin line of products exclusively for over three years. It has taken some time, but I have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin’s overall appearance with daily use.

I have avoided using any retinol products due to a history of blistering and peeling from another brand several years ago. I purchased this new Strivectin retinol product hoping that it would help to clear multiple large light pink scars on my forehead from a recent bout of shingles that occurred three months ago.

All I can say is WOW! I have only been using this product for a week and it is already helping to fade the scars, and it is also dramatically helping with my deep forehead lines. I cannot wait to see what the future results will be with continued use.

I was SO excited to receive this product! Now that I’m 37 and with the stress that comes with having a 5 and 3 year old, I’m really trying to preserve my skin/face as much as possible. So. I’ve become really into Retinol and Retinol-type products.

This serum is a nighttime Retinol serum. The amazing thing is the Retinol-infused powder comes seperate of serum! You mix them together yourself so the final product is as fresh as absolutely possible for you to use! You only need a few drops so the bottle will last quite a while and there’s a clear vertical strip on the bottom so you can always see how much product is in the bottle.

To dispense, you hold the bottle upside down and push the rubber “button” on the bottom for a drop at a time. So it’s very sanitary and you don’t have to touch anything that will go back into the bottle.

Even after the first night of use, I noticed my face looked very rejuvenated, glowy, my pores looked smaller, and the couple of acne spots I had were a lot smaller or basically gone!!! The one thing I highly recommend is to make sure you apply a hydrating moisturizer, especially if you have dry skin and/or are newer to Retinol, because it will make your skin more dry.

As long as you use a hydrating moisturizer, especially the next morning, you will be fine. I own a lot of Kiehls products and I absolutely love every one of them. Their products ALWAYS hit it with the quality, performance, and outcome! I’m in love with this new product and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to rewind time by fading acne, pores, texture, fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, or just wants to preserve their skin and prevent the things I just mentioned.

I’m so excited about this one! Great job Kiehls!.

I received, free for review from BzzAgent, the Kiehl’s Retinol Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing Night Serum and I am honestly and truly loving it. I’m a little surprised at the results. First off, I know this product is fresh because I had to mix this serum myself.

It comes with a pure retinol powder capsule, packaged separately, which you insert into the bottom of the serum bottle and press to release. It looks a little confusing per package directions but I found it very simple.

I suppose this also ensures that the air never gets into your serum. It’s said to contain their highest concentration of retinol to accelerate skin surface turn over, firm skin, and rapidly reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

I’ve only been using this product for a couple of weeks but I’m definitely seeing some firming of the skin and around my eyes there is an absolute improvement. My crow’s feet are less noticeable and the texture under my eyes has definitely improved.

My skin looks much more youthful, and dare I say I think there’s even been an improvement in some hyperpigmentation which no product ever seems to touch for me. I can be sensitive to a lot of retinols, I get kind of alligator skin, but not with this one.

It’s not irritating at all and my skin never feels dry. It actually looks and feels pretty amazing these days. Although it is a serum, it’s not super watery. It’s consistency is a little heavier but still very thin.

I have to use a little more than the product directs but it absorbs super fast and doesn’t leave any kind of weird feeling on the skin. I do use this only at night and I make sure to use a sunscreen during the day.

It has absolutely no scent which I also like as I can never figure out why they have to add fragrance to everything. There’s a window on the side of the bottle which I also super appreciate so I always know how much is in there.

I love Kiehl’s and I trust this brand so if you’re looking for an effective retinol treatment I highly recommend this one!.

No7 Lift Luminate Triple Action Night Cream1 This cream works when I sleep. The cream is in a beautiful and voluminous jar, a pleasant cornflower blue. The cream is white with a pleasant smell, it is quite thick and dense.

When applied to the skin, the dense and thick texture seems to melt and is easily distributed when in contact with the skin. The skin after absorbing the cream is soft, moisturized, nourished- exactly what I expect from night facial care.

Despite the dense texture, the pores do not clog. After a month of use, I can say that I really like the general appearance of the skin in the morning, it does not seem gray and tired, the tone is fresher, the skin has become more elastic.

I am very happy with the result. Use every night. After cleansing, gently massage into your face using smooth upwards movements. Avoid the eye area. Made in United Kingdom.

I have only been using this night cream for a short while, however I am already very impressed with the results. This product is light to the touch and absorbs quickly and easily, without leaving a greasy residue on my skin.

Having only used this for a month or so, I have already noticed that my skin feels and looks a great deal better than it has for a while. My skin also feels and appears more elastic and less wrinkly, than before I started using this cream.

Highly recommend!.

꧁☬ KEY INGREDIENTS: ☬ ꧂ Matrixyl 3000+ – No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide formula Firming complex with hyaluronic acid and hibiscus No7’s unique pigmentation complex with vitamin C ꧁☬ BENEFITS: ☬ ꧂ Helps restore skin’s moisture while you sleep Visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles Firms skin and evens skin tone Suitable for sensitive skin Good Housekeeping Seal Winner ꧁☬ MY THOUGHTS: ☬ ꧂ This is a good night solution for problematic dry skin like mine, my face feels really soft and moisturized right away after I apply it.

For me, this cream fits the needs that my thirsty skin needs, it is non-greasy, it causes no irritation, no adult break-outs and it is a great deep night moisturizer. Since I still do know have noticeable wrinkles, I cannot tell yet how effective it is for it, but I like to use it to prevent them.

I love that this cream has a beautiful velvety texture with no scent at all, it is a good addition to my night skincare routine.

Although I’ve been familiar with Neostrata as a brand I haven’t had actually tried very many of their products but I was intrigued when I learned that they were coming out with a Retinol cream. Neostrata has a great reputation so I was confident that the formulation would be solid and as someone who has incorporated retinols into my skincare routine inconsistently over the last couple of years, it was something that I was interested in trying.

In the past I haven’t always seen very noticeable results with the formulas that I’ve tried, even with continued use over time, so I wanted a chance to actually use Neostrata’s product for 2-3 weeks at a minimum before developing any opinions.

Admittedly, I was a little skeptical that I would actually see any results because it’s a relatively low-strength retinol at 0. 3%. However, I’ve genuinely been surprised that after having used it almost nightly for the last few weeks I can honestly see that the overall texture of my skin appears slightly smoother and the tone–especially on my cheeks–a bit brighter.

The directions state to incorporate the product gradually but I’ve had no problem using it nearly every night from the first time I began using it and have experienced absolutely no irritation or adverse reaction.

Because retinol has a cumulative and compounding effect over time I’m excited to see how my skin changes and responds by the time I’ve completely finished my tube and I’m very pleased with what I’ve seen so far.

Based on my experience I would absolutely recommend it and I think that it’s gentle enough even (maybe especially) for those just starting to use a retinol for the first time. I almost wish that the percentage of retinol was slightly greater so I hope that the brand will offer an even stronger formulation in the future as a stepping stone up from this one but for now I’m enjoying this and will absolutely continue using it.

I waited more than a month to review this product because I wanted to make sure I had enough time to try it. I have dry and sensitive skin. I started just applying once a day at bedtime the first week to slowly introduce the product to my sensitive skin then I applied it morning and night.

I’m seeing great results already. My family and friends have noticed too and I get so many compliments. It’s not botox, and not a face lift but it does reduce fine lines and wrinkles… and helps my skin look healthier.

No oily residue just a healthy glow! This is one product I will most definitely keep using regularly.

The comprehensive Retinol. 3% night serum- helps with fine lines and wrinkles, dull texture, dark spots and loss of firmness. It is fragrance-free. Key Ingredients: Retinol: Formulated to diminish the appearance of fine lines and rough surface texture.

NeoGlucosamine: synergistically with Retinol to intensify skin’s hydrating matrix for a firmer look. Hyaluronic acid: attracts moisture for a plump, glowing complexion. You just apply this retinol twice weekly at night and while you sleep it goes to work.

You can work up to using it everyday but you have to build up your tolerance or you will get irritation. This absorbs well and doesn’t leave any sticky or greasy residue and it has a very lightweight texture.

I have noticed diminished fine lines in just two weeks.

Neutrogena has always made some of the best and affordable skin care products! But this one right here is in my opinion one of the best formulated moisturizers out in the market, PERIODD! The entire Hydro Line from neutrogena has some of the most amazing products but this one in particular just hits different.

After 1 use of this product I felt seen the amazing benefits this gel cream has to offer. It actually made me excited to apply my tedious skin care routine. But knowing I just added this gel cream to my day regimen sparked joy I couldn’t get to my bathroom sink fast enough.

Since using this moisturizer especially before make up application my skin has a natural glow within. I also have combo -oily skin and this product definitely helps with that. Bonus another reason I needed to try was of course the hyaluronic acid in this formula.

Since using religiously my skin has a noticeable difference of brightness hydration. Theres a very light and undetectable sent to it but the scent to this cream smells clean gets me excited every use.

Honestly I only tried this product because of all the hype I seen on it. Was questioning if this was actually a cult classic but after using and falling in love I totally agree! If anything this product is a #CLASSIC in general! FYI if you suffer from dry and sensitive skin, Neutrogena also has Hydro Boost Gel-Cream – Extra Dry fragrance free available! Don’t sleep on this Whole entire line period!! 🙌🠾✨😠😩💦💧🌊.

It is a light and oil-free facial cream. Hydrates skin with powerful hydrating ingredients, but no greasy residue. Contains hyaluronic acid (a powerful moisturizer that’s holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, keeping skin puffy and hydrated); dimethicone and glycerin (maintain the skin’s moisture barrier so water doesn’t evaporate faster than it can be reabsorbed).

It has a pleasantly aquatic scent and its instantly absorbed. Gel formulas have quickly earned a reputation as the perfect moisturizer for people who don’t like moisturizer; people with oil skins are fans because gels don’t feel greasy.

But this one is also great for sensitive and dry skin. It can be applied several times a day without looking like the product is building and clogging the pores. And while it leaves skin fully hydrated, it also dries to a slightly dewy finish, making it ideal for use under makeup.

I’ve been asked what highlighter I’m wearing and I don’t really wear highlighter, it’s JUST THIS PRODUCT. It makes me look truly radiant.

I would suggest picking up the gel cream extra dry moisturizer from Neutrogena. It is fragrance and dye free. If you have dry skin like me I suggest choosing this one. I’ve been trying out this moisturizer for over a week now and I can say that I have gotten fantastic results.

My skin is sensitive and I worry about what I can put on it without having a major break out. This moisturizer is very gentle and hydrating on the skin. I never experienced any burning sensations or any type of breakouts.

I used to have dry spots on my forehead and around my face. While using this moisturizer every morning, it has made all those dry spots disappear. If you’re also someone who’s looking for a hydrating moisturizer and has sensitive skin I really suggest trying this one out.

I’m in my mid-30s with somewhat sensitive, acne-prone skin, some sun damage, and early signs of fine lines. I went through one bottle of this, and didn’t notice any improvements in my skin during that time.

That being said, it didn’t cause any irritation either – and I had previously tried Retin-A/tretinoin and was having a lot of peeling, redness and irritation – and that stopped when I switched to this.

Ultimately, after getting to the bottom of this bottle, I transitioned again to Retin-A/tretinoin, and found that my skin was able to tolerate it. So for me, I found this serum a nice choice for gradually “introducing” my skin to retinol, but just prefer a stronger product that will give me more visible results.

I’m able to get a Retin-A prescription for $10 and see results. I’m okay with this being the one “toxic” product still in my routine. I know for many though, it’s very important to eliminate any and all toxic products – and in that case, this might be a very good option for you.

Just know you might need to use it in tandem with other products to see visible results.

This retinol serum has become a steady purchase for me. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. It is super gentle in terms of being non-irritating, and it does seem to boost my skin. It’s not a super strong effect, but there’s a slight difference that is noticeable over time.

The bottle lasts quite some time, as you only need 2 pumps for the whole face and neck. No particular smell either, it’s just a nice and quick-absorbing serum that my skin really likes! When the bottle is close to being finished, I’ve noticed that the serum is not as yellow as when the bottle is newly opened, so not sure if there’s some air getting in through the pump, but it doesn’t seem to negatively impact the performance at least.

I’m probably on my 5th or 6th bottle and will continue to purchase. Def recommend!.

I love this oil! I’ve been using this (as well as several other Marie Veronique serums) daily for five years and my skin is transformed. I layer this over the Marie Veronique Gentle Retinol Serum, Barrier Restore Serum, and Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid Serum, and it leaves my skin balanced and silky soft.

It soaks right in, and never leaves me feeling oily. The smell is subtle and nice, and an added perk is rubbing the extra into my hands for extra moisturizing softness. If you’re afraid of switching from a night cream to an oil, fear no more!.

Overall: The Buffet is very much a buffet experience. The quality isn’t amazing, but you also didn’t spend much. It’s still pretty good for the price, but you’re left wondering if you’d have been happier had you spent just a little more.

I purchased this serum after Southwest damaged multiple items in my luggage, including shattering a bottle of Shiseido’s Ultimmune. Their solution was to give me a not even half the value of what they damaged gift card (so I could get my stuff damaged again later I guess), so I decided to try a less expensive serum I’ve heard lots of good things about.

My skin texture is very dry. I need products that provide moisture and help lock in that moisture. I felt the serum let me down here, as I was applying a LOT just to get that result. One thing about applying a lot of this serum is you get a sort of sticky texture going on.

If you give it a minute, it dries down to be less sticky but still not sticky-free. I’m unfortunately not seeing the results I was promised by multiple other reviews/hype TikToks after about a week. A little disappointing as I love so many other products from The Ordinary (side note: the caffeine drops are AMAZING).

That’s not to say this is a bad serum, though. The price is incredibly reasonable for a serum, but it simply isn’t strong enough for dry skin. I think you’d be happy if your skin is normal or oily if the stickiness doesn’t bother you.

If you have dry skin, you’ll find yourself needing to use a lot of serum to get decent results and probably should consider another product.

Love it. My favourite serum, goes everywhere from eye area to lips and neck. It cannot (nothing really can) eradicate existing wrinkles and lines, but I started using buffet + retinoid emulsion from the Ordinary about 4 years ago (buffet in the mornings, retinoid in the evenings, plus I take buffet with me when I travel), and during that time my skin has aged noticeable better/less when compared to my friends.

I can honestly say I have developed 0 new wrinkles in the last few years, and since I’ve completely stopped using anything that contains silicone, I’ve also now reached a point where my skin is so much better I do not even own a single foundation product.

Very happy with the results. I am 44, do not smoke and use zero to minimal alcohol – but have serious health issues and poor eating habits (which result in fluctuating weight). Sensitive oily/combination skin with very large pores (now very much improved).

Used to use Dior capture totale and Estee Lauder before, neither of which I have repurchased in the last 3 years. I also use the Ordinary’s moisturizing factors cream to outer eye area, cheeks, neck and lips as needed.

Only wish the Ordinary made a retinoid-based eye cream so I could give up the Omorovicza golden eye, too (the only “other” product I am still hooked on).

TLDR: Made my skin go from soft to pure silk. Use it after washing your face, then follow with hyaluronic acid (my routine is below) Added plumpness and radiance. Absolutely no texture felt for the past week on my face.

My face was extremely soft due to my regimen before trying buffet (have it at the end). I didn’t know what I was missing out on by not adding this product sooner. I decided I would finally try it just because I’ve heard so many good things.

I thought my skin was so soft before but I was definitely wrong. This is an entirely new level. My skin feels like silk quite literally. I will say that this is only possible with the help of my other products in my routine.

They all work wonderfully together. I added the buffet into my old routine right after I finished washing my face. I did the rest as usual. ALSO: I used it on my eczema on my arms with hyaluronic acid + heavy moisturizer and it went away.

Regimen before trying: Cerave SA Cleanser Hyaluronic Acid serum by the ordinary Caffeine solution (under eyes) by the ordinary Bakuchoil by inky list Cerave thick facial cream.

I recently discovered The Body Shop skincare products am loving them! THE BODY SHOP® Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil is my favorite overnight serum/oil! Love love love this product! It is #veganfriendly non-greasy absorbs quickly.

I wake up w/ softer, replenished skin! The dropper makes it easy to use! A definite Body Shop repurchase! Their sales are a great opportunity to try something new fall in love!.

I absolutely love this product and use it regularly as part of my nighttime routine. The Vitamin E range by The Body Shop is so versatile and compliments all of their other ranges really well. I don’t use it every night as I sometimes feel that I need to give my skin a treatment to fight blemishes (hormonal, poor diet) by using an overnight mask.

I use the vitamin E serum in oil after cleansing (aloe), and toning (tea tree) but before adding the Vitamin E night cream. The serum absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth. It feels so luxurious.

The Vitamin E range is not suitable for anyone with a wheat intolerance. Other products used in my night time routine include:

Since I have several issues on my face, I will review this product as food on my skin, and not as a serum. What I mean is that I wouldn’t use it to solve my skin problems, but I certainly use it to feed my skin with Vitamin E.

The formula is light, and moisture rich. Actually, you can feel the moisturising effect of the vitamin right away, so you understand that the serum gives what you need. For the reason that I usually wear it during night combining it with a rich night cream, I see the next morning a balanced skin with a slight glow.

Since I love to test vitamins and oils, and because I would love to test the same product with a thicker consistency, the next purchase will be the Vitamin E Overnight Serum In Oil. Extra Tip: I apply occasionally and alternatively serums of these types during the week, so my skin takes a series of vitamins.

You can enrich with your basic cream, which will focus on your specific skin issues. Body Shop offers a wide variety of such products in so fair prices.

I use this product every day, it has kept my skin moisturized, clear and luminous. I use it on my face, neck and hands. At first, when I started using it three + years ago, it stung very slightly, then I realized I should not use it after I scrubbed my face or if I have a scratch of any kind.

Ladies and gents, this is a great product. Word of advise, if you have never used a retinol product, start with the lowest available percentage Deciem has, once the first bottle is out, you can graduate to this one, the most potent.

Also, if you are using a prescription Retinol, for the love of god, don’t use this, first of, you don’t need it, and secondly, you will be irritated as hell (it is like taking prescription twice, not good or needed!) Additionally, if you are using any kind of acne reducing pads, like OXY pads or Neutrogena, don’t use this after.

Those pads have Salicilic acid, it does not mix well with retinoids. I keep mine in a little make up fridge ($35 bucks at Walmart) in my bathroom. Also, you may purchase this and not feel any irritation at all, that is also OK, it does not mean the product is not working, it means your skin is assimilating it without issues, if you don’t believe it, take a selfie, use it for a month and take another selfie.

When something is working gradually, you won’t notice it as loudly. It is unfair that people that do not take the time to read instructions, feel so good about giving bad ratings to a great product. It is just not right.

Finally, after a month of using it I have enough experience with this Retinol so I can write my honest review. I am very happy with this Retinol 05% In Squalane 30Ml. It has been gentle with my skin but gave lovely results.

The first week I have applied it every other day. I had no reaction to it, only a bit of peeling around my chin (my problematic area). The second week I used it almost every day but only in the evening as I was making sure to apply not only on my face but on my neck as well.

I had days when I noticed a bit more red spots or break-outs not on the usual places. But in general, my skin was calm and somehow brighter. That was the first difference I saw. My skin was radiant and glowing.

✨ The third week was when I started to notice my dark acne spots fading away. This positive progress motivates me to continue using it. I can honestly say that I am very happy with my results and in the future I will continue my Retinol journey once more with the Ordinary.

☀️ P. S. Throughout the whole time, I was listening to my instincts and I was applying moisturiser after the retinol. The La Roche Posay Hydraphase Ha Rich Hyaluronic Acid Face Cream is the best EVER- I have been using it for more than 3 years, it was recommended by my dermatologist and I loved it from the very beginning.

And of course, after the moisturiser I have applied sunscreen, don’t forget it! ☀️.

I am a HUGE fan of The Ordinary, wonderful no frill products for a great price point that really work! I have tried a slew of their serums have loved mostly all of them. This was my starter retinol and how I introduced my skin to it I would say I made a great first choice.

The retinol isn’t strong (0. 5%) and it makes a great non irritating introduction to it for beginners. The squalane is soothing and moisturizing so no need to worry about your skin cracking or drying out.

I used it once every few days and then over time I increased frequency so my skin slowly got used to it. I have sensitive skin with slight rosacea this was perfectly safe to add into my nightly routine.

I’ve now graduated from this formula use their 1% Retinol in Squalane. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen during the day while you use it as it can make your skin sensitive to the sun like with any retinol product.

I would recommend to anyone just starting out with retinols or anyone with sensitive skin looking to add a safe anti-aging serum into their routine.

This product was recommended to me by a really sweet Sephora worker while in store searching for effective retinol products (since The Ordinary 1% retinol oil did absolutely nothing for me, unfortunately).

The price is a bit much and I was worried I’d pay and see no results – HOWEVER. so far, two weeks in, I’m loving what I’m seeing FOR ONCE!? Results were shown not even long after two days (texture-wise).

I’m shocked & I’m truly crossing my fingers that I’m not speaking too soon. I suffer from comedonal acne (mostly on my cheek area) and let me tell you. I’ve tried many things to rid of this skin problem for years upon years and nothing thus far has worked.

I need to physically use my tools to remove stuff twice a week or so (and that’s not recommended, nor is doing that good for pores). It’s incredibly irritating to deal with, try product after product and see no results.

I’ve gotten tired of trying to find a solution. The retail worker who mentioned this product to me told me how she doesn’t moisturize after using this product (though you can if you’d like), which I thought was odd since retinol equals purging: dryness, peeling, redness, irritation, etc.

I have sensitive skin and It did none of those things! – it’s super soothing and the ingredients help to moisturize. I’m incredibly in awe of this product and I hope it only gets better from here on out.

My skin has never felt this baby-soft in my entire life. I’m waiting for that “time of the month” to truly test this out, as I also have hormonal acne.

I actually got this from my Boxy charm the first time. I didn’t expect much. This is the first review I have ever written, that is how much I love it. I am 36, and have dry skin, always have. I saw a few reviews of people saying it caused clogged pores and broke them out, which I could see.

This is a thick consistency and heavy feeling, but in a great way. If you have oily skin this may not be for you. If you have dry skin, you will love this. My skin hasn’t looked this good in a while.

It stopped my break outs, it stopped redness I get when my skin is dry. I don’t have many wrinkles but the ones I do have around my eyes, seem to have lessened. Even if it doesn’t reduce my wrinkles more, I don’t care.

It has helped my dry skin look and feel amazing like nothing else has. I have tried so many expensive and cheap products to help my dry skin and nothing has done it like this. Not only does this help my dry skin, my skin hasn’t looked this smooth and glowing in years.

I will get this over and over.

I got this product for free through Influenster in exchange for my honest review. Aesthetically I really love the packaging. It’s sleek, modern, fresh and whilst not heavy, it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy- for me this perfectly fits with Juice Beauty’s clean beauty brand.

Overall I was a bit apprehensive about trying this serum as my skin is quite sensitive and has a tendency to react to products. I know retinol can be harsh on the skin so to begin I followed the instructions of using once to twice a week.

The first time I barely applied any to my face, when I woke up the next morning I was happy to see that I hadn’t had a reaction or breakout and my skin felt SO smooth! From this point I gradually built up usage and, with combined use with their moisturiser, have been really impressed with how hydrated my skin has become.

Whilst I personally haven’t seen a reduction in fine wrinkles (to be fair, I don’t have that many yet anyway) I feel like I can see an improvement in the red discolouration I have on my cheeks. Overall my skin tone seems more balanced and even which is a plus for me! As with the moisturiser, the scent of the product seems to split people 50/50.

For me personally, I absolutely love the citrus scent. The serum is a little thicker than those I’ve tried before but it applies like a dream and absorbs really fast. Whilst I don’t think that has overtaken my favourite serum, I would definitely be open to buying this again.

If you are not into heavy fragranced products, this may not be for you!.

Get it. This is probably the best and only serum I would recommend someone to buy if they wanted to splurge but on a product that actually made a difference. I got a sample of this and applied it after exfoliating/cleansing.

It went on so smooth and instantly I noticed my skin was so soft – baby soft. The next morning, my boyfriend made a comment on how my skin look better than it has in months – which he never does – I frequently suffer from breakouts so this was refreshing to hear! Thanks maskne 🙁 I did notice a difference in pore size as well that morning (smaller and less noticeable).

I am acne prone and did not breakout. I think it even helps as it does reduce pore size and thus less likely to have blackheads. I ended up buying this, I got it on sale for 20% off and it came out to $170 with tax.

Expensive yes, but I cannot tell you how many products I bought for $30-50 that didn’t work. (Side note, I have purchased La Mer’s Concentrate and this one is better. it’s half the price of that one too, so you’re welcome).

Absolutely love this product. I’d been using SkinC C E Ferulic for over a year, but did not get any dramatic results. I started to incorporate this in my nighttime routine and within a week noticed a difference- and increase in clarity and more even texture.

For the last couple months I’ve stopped using C E Ferulic, and kept on with this, still maintaining the positive results. For context- I’m 43, and have caramel colored skin with no problems with discoloration, so the brightening effects of vitamin C didn’t make much of a difference.

Also, the acidic PH of C E Ferulic just irritated my skin. Looks like Resveratrol BE gives me the antioxidant action I need. For reference, this is part of my nighttime routine, in conjunction with Metacell Renewal B3, Retinol 0.

3 (3-5 nights a week), Triple Lipid 2:4:2, and Maya Chia Super Couple.

I felt I saw a difference the first night but I was skeptical. I should add I recently burned my skin using the Amazonian clay mask with vinegar that everyone raves about. So, I’ve been scared to try anything on my skin until my skin barrier is repaired.

Then, I definitely noticed my skin was brighter the second night!! I bought 3 samples from Mercari. I’m not even through the first tube. I’m looking forward to trying other products!.

This serum makes my skin feel soft and brighter when I get up in the morning especially after cleansing. I started to notice a difference right away. I haven’t noticed much more of a difference than I did the first time using it but I still love what it does to my skin.

I’ve only been using it for a couple weeks. I feel like it makes my skin a great base for my morning skincare products and for applying makeup products. They go on smoother and are easier to work with due to the texture of my skin feeling better.

I think it did cause me to get a few pimples the first few days I used it but didn’t after that. I am sensitive to some products but this one didn’t bother my skin at all. I noticed quite a few reviews said it wasn’t sticky.

I thought it did feel a little sticky on my hands and right after applying but not enough to bother me, and it did start to go away as my skin absorbed the product. I did read that you should shake it before applying which I haven’t done so will definitely start doing that.

Overall, I’m not obsessed with it and might not buy it all the time but will probably buy it once in a while.

The packaging is a smart idea/concept, where you can get refills to lock back into the body case of the bottle. However, I find the overall packaging of the bottle way too bulky and unnecessary excess plastic.

The refill frosted glass bottle would of suffice and looks a lot more elegant on its own! I actually ended up taking it out from its plastic housing and it looks so much nicer, the glass refill bottle! My skin was textured and dull and was in need of a brightening boost and good exfoliation.

This serum addressed this because of the glycolic acid treatment for the dead skin build up I have as well as the skin renewal from the moonlight cactus is all very appealing for my skins current tired state.

After cleansing and toning I like to use a serum that penetrates and heals my skin as it does its work during my sleep and waking up to see the results is what I like to do for my nightly regime. On first application it feels quite tacky on the skin but eventually does go away and once you shake up the bottle emulsions combine as the liquid to oil seperates – I find the fragrance scent quite over powering which eventually became quite off putting for me.

It didn’t irritate my skin too much but it meant I could only use it once or twice a week. There was a change in my skins texture, my skin became less dull and more smooth. After a month of trialing it I found the overall result was quite impressive, especially as my skin became brighter and I could see it had buffed away any dead skin and my skin became soft! I only wish it didn’t have parfum within the ingredients- it’s very unnecessary and defeats the power of the other great ingredients within this serum.

The pricing for this serum is quite dear – being high end brand, I understand it’s usually quite costly but I don’t think I would repurchase it for myself. If you don’t mind fragrance and high price point, then definitely give this a try!.

The product was fairly easy to use, the guide recommended two pumps of the product sometimes it did get a little messy and could easily slip through your hands so the product can get wasted that way or used up quickly.

I think my previous experience with serums had been that while they are liquid they had a slightly gel like consistency whereas this product was more liquid in consistency, not a bad thing at all just differs from previous experiences with serums.

Also something to be aware of if you are sensitive to perfumes in products is this product does have a slight scent to it which I found stronger than in some products i’ve used previously. I personally liked the scent however if you are especially sensitive to perfumes this is something worth being aware of.

I did find my skin felt instantly smooth and refreshed when using the product and felt more soft. It did improve the appearance of my skin in the morning and overall. I feel that it took away that dull look in the skin.

Overall my skin just looked smoother and ultimately healthier. The packaging was well presented however it was difficult to locate the instructions for use which I understand can seem quite small and it isn’t a big deal however if you are a first time user of serums and are not really sure how to use the product it would definitely be handy if the instructions were clearly printed on the actual product.

I think I will continue to use the product where possible however I have also found products at a more affordable price range that are just as effective. Despite this I would recommend it to family and friends pending they are comfortable with things like the fragrance as I have found many people are opting for more natural products at the moment.
