Hydrating and smoothing
I have very finicky skin that breaks out in little white heads, mainly around my nose, mouth and chin, with a lot of products. I recently discovered that my skin reacts best to AHA products, but I have never tried a retinol. So I saw this and decided to get it. I did a patch test on my inner elbow and had no reaction to it, so I used it under my chin and then onto my full face. I probably haven’t been using it long enough to see full effects, but I do like it so far. It’s a thicker cream, but absorbs very well. It leaves my skin hydrated and when I wake up in the morning my skin does feel very smooth. It hasn’t caused any irritation or burning, so I think it’s very gentle. I don’t notice a huge difference in fine lines yet, but it’s only been 5 days that I’ve been using it. It does seem to minimize them a bit, but it could just be the moisturizing or a placebo effect. I think only time will tell! But the skin smoothness is nice. It does seem to minimize pimple redness and get them to go away faster. The applicator is small, which I like, so you can dispense only the amount you need.
