Review (5/5): Less irritating than some other retinol products!
I got this item nearly free so that I could test it out and provide my unbiased feedback. I really do my best to provide good info for fellow amazon customers so that they can make informed decisions.
So this retinol cream has a high concentration of retinol which does improve skin tone and helps your skin look younger over time. 2.5% Retinol can be quite irritating (I've tried a few serums with that concentration), and your skin needs to get used to it. However, this serum seems pretty gentle, I did not get a lot of irritation. It does have some skin soothing ingredients such as green tea extract and jojoba oil.
While I can't tell you the long term effects of this product yet as it's too early, retinol is clinically proven to work, it does need quite a bit of time though, at least 2 months. Since I try to have my product reviews done within 10 days, I can't vouch for long term effectiveness, but retinol itself is a solid anti aging ingredient.
not bad!
