I tried this serum as an intro to retinoids (which I have never tried before over fear of irritating my skin)
Because I am in the aging category now, I want to give my skin the Oomph it needs, without the irritation. I have been blessed with good skin, so now that it is drying and aging, and that melasma is starting to show, I want to give my skin some more care.
I have been using it regularly for 2 weeks now, along with the face and eye cream (just make sure to NOT mix the eye cream with the retinol), and my skin is loving it! It is non irritating, subtle, no mayor tingling
A little does go along way as they say. I tried putting on a bit more on my dark spots and overdid it one night. Nothing bad happened (no irritation), but I noticed that I had a layer of dark purple debris on my cotton pad the next morning as I cleansed. So I guess it just sits there and doesn't absorb, so don't waste the product. I use a drop on each cheek and another on the forehead. if you want to wear on your neck, maybe 1-2 more drops.
I still have the sun spots, so I haven't seen any change in that sense... but I have noticed significant change in plumpness, hydration, texture, brightness and healthy glow. I will continue using it to see how my spots progress.
As for the capillaries on my cheeks, I read others say it has helped, I haven't noticed massive change, but upon inspection, the area with capillaries seems to be clearer and less pronounced.. so maybe it's the cream? I'll keep an eye on…
