Review (3/5): DO NOT USE IN SUNLIGHT!!!
I just received the rose scented chapstick and I must say that it smells awful. Doesn’t smell like rose AT ALL. I read the ingredients and realized that this has retinal palmitate (vitamin a). I’ve been warned by my dermatologist to avoid retinol in the sun. The EWG warns against Retin Palminate specifically. I thought this was going to be a stellar product as it was endorsed by Gin Amber. She said it smells lovely so I wonder if this product is a knock off. If you’re curious about retinal under sun exposure just google it yourself or ask your dermatologist. As for me I won’t be using this during the day. Super disappointed.
The only good things about the product are that it does feel nice, it doesn’t taste bad and if you’re looking for anti-aging the retinol is good for that. So for me it’s a 50/50 overall. Really wish it actually smelled nice.
I will add that I generally really like Camille Beckham products. I used to work in a hospital and handled paper all day. It sucked the moisture right out of my skin and those products were the ONLY thing that saved my hands. Everyone in the office kept trying to take my lotion. So while I feel let down my this particular product I still like other items.
