Over the course of six months, this product significantly evened out the skin texture and reduced acne. I started with a 0.2 strength, then moved up to 2, and eventually 5. Now, as summer approaches, I have switched back to 2 to be less aggressive on my skin. Initially, I used a lot at night (my face was oily), followed by a very moisturizing cream in the morning and an evening moisturizing mask, as it tends to dry out my skin. Now I use it together with a moisturizing cream for dry skin, even though I have normal/combination skin, and I prefer the effect this way.
A very simple product, in general, it's oil and retinol. But there's nothing extra, everything useful and effective. It doesn't have a quick "wow" effect, but the moisturizing and the most respected ingredient in this serum do their job. I recommend it!
Very good emulsion.
Significantly improves the quality of the skin (33 years old, combination type, breakouts).
With it - no breakouts, firmer skin, even tone.
Important - there is moisture and nourishment.
Very satisfied, I'm getting the second bottle.
Before this, I used oils: Clarins, Caudalie, Kiehl's (both night and day).
But it is specifically from this one that I see concrete results.
Highly recommend!
The serum is excellent, just like all the products from this brand. I haven't been disappointed yet! The serum doesn't make my skin oily, it absorbs quickly and works great for my oily but mature skin. I use it under my cream. Don't expect an instant wow-effect, but gradually the skin becomes better, pores and wrinkles are less noticeable. But the price of 779 UAH? It was 580 UAH yesterday. This is an affordable brand, the price of this serum is $10! Dear Makeup, I love your store, but this is too much!
The oil pleasantly surprised me as it absorbs well and does not make the skin oily. There is no feeling of a film or mask, just soft skin. I used it at night - it's great. In the morning, the skin feels soft and any flakiness comes off when washing, leaving the skin smooth. I also used it in the morning as a base for foundation (winter flakiness makes any imperfections more visible), and it worked great as a makeup primer. The foundation stayed well and the flakiness disappeared. However, there is an important note: I have a foundation with SPF, and everyone should know that retinol + sun = pigmentation and freckles. This oil contains retinol, so it should be used at night. If you really want to use it during the day, don't forget sun protection.
I was afraid of the oily texture, as I already have oily skin. But I decided to take a risk after hearing about the magical properties of retinol. I am 26 years old and occasionally have acne, and retinol is known to be effective in treating acne and preventing skin aging.
I apply it at night instead of moisturizer. The greasiness on my skin remains a little, but no more than from a nourishing cream, and it doesn't leave any film.
I noticed that after using the serum, wounds and acne scars heal very quickly, so it definitely has great regenerating properties. It doesn't clog pores and prevents new breakouts.
By the way, I want to note that I hadn't used any products with retinol before, and I didn't experience any peeling or irritation, although it is recommended to start with a lower concentration. It may be because the oil has a soothing and softening effect.
For super dry skin, it might not be strong enough, but overall it moisturizes the face excellently. It is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a disgusting sticky feeling like many creams do. It is suitable for people with combination skin and prone to acne, as it does not clog pores at all.
Amazing thing! Gorgeous texture, pleasant to use. The effect might not be noticeable right away, but after some time, fine wrinkles disappear, the skin tone becomes more even, and pigmentation lightens. I apply it in the evening on cleansed skin two to three times a week, it doesn't irritate my skin (even though it's quite sensitive). After 15-20 minutes, I apply LRP Toleriane Ultra Night cream on top, and in the morning, my face looks peachy! Perfect! Very satisfied ☺️.
