Gentle and Effective
I started using this retinol for about 3 weeks and have noticed that the dry skin around my nose and on my nose was gone. This has been helping keep dead skin off by regenerating my skin cells more quickly. I have also noticed for evenness in my skin tone as well. I use this serum after my hyaluronic acid and then after the retinol I use my moisturizer. I only use this at night time. If you have sensitive skin I recommend only using this every other evening to start with. This is gentle for my skin but effective! Prescription retinoid is too much for me so this is perfect for my needs!

Perfect for a first time retinol user
If you're looking for a serum that'll help with first signs of aging, this is it. If you already have deeper set wrinkles then I would suggest other products. I have reactive sensitive skin and this serum did not irritate my face or neck. I definitely geared this product on my neckline. In the time that I've used it, I didn't see a major difference. Again, I do have more signs of aging in that area

Ugh
I have sensitive dry skin. I have used other retinols in the past which did not work for me but I wanted to try this since so many of the reviewers said they had sensitive skin and it worked for them. Nope, sorry - this definitely irritated me and broke me out! I started slow using only once a week, with the moisturizer "sandwich" method.

Better Than Derm Formulas
I have been using medical grade retinol cream formulated by my dermatologist for years and decided to give this a try because it’s a great value. I will never go back. So much more effective, I never realized retinol is supposed to be orange. I incorporate this into my nighttime skincare everyday! I only wish ELF would make an eye cream version!!!

Youth Boosting Retnoid serum
Loving this product. I will the container were constructed differently, because there is no way to ensure you are getting all of the product out of the pump bottle. A tube we can squeeze is an idea. Then one could cut the tube open once reaching the end of availability to squeeze the product out of the tube. Just an idea the I hope will be taken into consideration. Or perhaps a bottle with a dropper to dispense the small amount needed. I do wish it was available in a larger size also.

How long is one tube supposed to last?
While I am loving this product, it doesn't seem to last long enough at its small amount fairly priced? Mine did not last one month.

I like it
My skin is really sensitive, so I am a little hesitant when it comes to retinoids - in the past I got breakouts, red & dry patches BUT this one is different, no irritation after 4 months of usage though I have to admit that I really took it slow and still only use it two times a week. Result may show on the long run.

This product specifically is for a visible improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, not age spots.

Curious is anyone can comment on how this retinol compares to others? I used to use adapalene (Differin) with great results, but when retrialing developed swelling in my eyelids. I am leery of retinols but wanting the benefits!

For dry, sensitive skin, is this serum to be used in conjunction with a moisturizer, or is it recommended to apply serum only at night then apply moisturizer the following morning?
the elf team
·1 year ago
We suggest that for sensitive skin you use every 2 days and build up usage overtime; and apply at night. Then apply your moisturizer in the morning. If you are not reactive, you may use more often and follow with moisturizer.
