Review (1/5): Left skin worse than before
I used my face cleanser I've used for many years along with this Rodan & Fields Reverse Dual Active Brightening Complex, so this is the only new product on my face.
I'm a 36 year old female with normal signs of aging & I also have a few darker sun spots on my face that are really bugging me.
I never expect much from any face product so I keep my expectations low. I just finished using all of this product & can honestly say this did absolutely nothing positive for my skin & in fact, made everything so much worse.
My skin now has a very rough, coarse, bumpy texture. It's very obvious just looking in the mirror. I now have lots of red splotchy bumps all over my face from irritation & acne.
I haven't had any real acne for many years & now I have white heads all over my face, several cystic acne bumps which I've never had before & blackheads all over my nose.
Beyond all these very frustrating issues, these creams leave a very shiny sheen to the point when I first started using it my husband asked if I was sweating. I told him no & asked him why & he said my face looks like I have sweat all over it. The shininess wouldn't bother me if it actually moisturized my face well but it doesn't. This leaves my skin feeling dry, tight & irritated.
Not to mention these are very small tubes so you don't get much for your money. Side note - this comes in 2 separate tubes so you have to unscrew & re-screw on 2 tops & mix the creams together, each time you apply.
When I'm done cleansing my face I just want to quickly apply a moisturizer so this became tedious.
Also because these are very small plastic tubes once you get to the bottom you have to really squeeze hard to get the last out. I cut the tubes open once I had squeezed all I could & there was still quite a bit left. These just aren't the most user friendly bottles & for how expensive this is, I would expect better packaging.
I've used many over the counter drugstore face products over the years that work WAY better than this. Considering how expensive this is, I cannot recommend this product at all as there are no positive effects or redeeming qualities.
