Review (5/5): Noticeable smaller pores - NOW SEEING A DIFFERENCE!
I have been using this product for approximately one month now and am noticing that my pores are much smaller. I haven't seen big changes to the wrinkles yet, but will keep using the product to give it time since I was already using another retinol product previous to this one. I will post a follow up review in another month.
I am editing my review as of today (11/01/2014). I read something online that made me realize I was using too MUCH product! I was using twice a day and, although my pores were getting smaller, after 6 weeks or so, I actually looked worse. My skin started sagging and just looked harsh. After reading that too much retinol can affect your skin that way, I cut back to once a day. Boy, what a difference....almost immediately! Also, I discovered something by accident that really helped. One evening, I accidentally put on my moisturizer before the retinol. I just let it soak it and then applied the retinol, waited a few minutes and then applied the moisturizer again. This actually made my skin look better than anything I've done. When I woke in the morning, the parenthesis wrinkles around my mouth were almost entirely gone. They were noticeably plumped. Now, that is my standard routine! Love this product and will definitely keep using. I only changed to once a day a little over a week ago so I know the improvements will only continue.
