Clinically Effective Retinoid Cream

I bought this for my face to help even out skin tone and keep acne at bay, but I ended up using it on my knees and various food allergy rashes to help with scarring and getting rid of the itch. Let me explain. I’m allergic to pretty much everything. I even have a mild allergy to any and all foods that have been factory processed (like even a simple can of organic beans can make me itchy)so despite my best efforts I’m constantly breaking out in little rashes on my elbows and if it’s really bad I get a patch on my back and neck. These rashes are itchy af and if I scratch them they end up even more inflamed and leave scratching scars. I’ve tried all the salves and cortisone creams on the shelves and have even used prescription medicated creams. They all eventually get rid of the itch, but did nothing for the scarring. One day I ran out of cortisone cream and I used this stuff. You guys? It’s like the heavens opened up and a host of angels sang me a sweet healing lullaby. Instant relief! Not only did I get relief and the hives went down, the scars eventually started to fade as well! The dark patch on my back is now the same color as the rest of me and my elbows( where the worst scarring was) are significantly improved. I want to mention that I’m African American and I scar deeply, darkly and easily so I’m literally shocked at how fast this has faded my scars. I even use it as part of a treatment I randomly created to lighten my knees. They are now almost the same color as the rest of my knee skin and my knees have been dark since I was 7 and did not heed my mothers advice when she told me to stop crawling around on my knees because they would darken.😖 I know this stuff is supposed to be for your face, but it has SO MANY uses! It also works on my forehead acne around my hairline when I take a break from my other serums and such so... It’s kind of one of my favorite products at the moment and I’d definitely recommend it.

I'm liking this product for making my enlarged pores get back to a nice looking normal size. I've got about three weeks in it now. My skin is noticeably more moist, my foundation goes on smoother and I need less of it, fine lines are less noticeable, freckles are smaller. I like the pump dispenser. One pump covers my face neck and decolletage. Compared to other Retinoid products the price is reasonable. Couple of things. One, yes it will pill if you try to "rub it in" like your usual moisturizer. The way to use it is to spread a thin film all over your face and neck and let it dry before you get in bed. It will show a yellow color. That's what all vitamin A acid products look like. But once it dries it won't come off on your pillowcase or anything. Next, the pilling and the yellow color are good reasons not to wear it in the daytime. Because if you try to cover the yellow color of it with your foundation, it will pill. You can get the results from it with just night time use, anyway. Third, you might not want to use it every night. Take a break from it when you get peeling flaking skin or if your regular moisturizer starts to sting. Finally, sunscreen every day, even if you are not going outdoors. Make it a habit you don't even have to think about. If you're using any of the acidic products like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or vitamin A acid, sunscreen is part of life. Sun exposure is not that great anyway, but with these acidic products it is the kiss of death. Sunscreen is the thing.

I am a nurse and purchased this product for 2 reasons. 1. "Mask-ne" (or ongoing acne resulting from chronic mask-wearing). I was going to go to the dermatologist to get a prescription for Retin-A but decided to try this first after reading reviews from several people (including MEN!) that saw improvements in their acne and other skin conditions after using this product. 2. I am 36 years old and was considering a skin care product with retinol. I purchased this exactly 4 months ago and I like the results! I have used it almost day since it arrived in May and just now am running low and need to re-order...so it lasts a while. And the price is great, too! I was hesitant to stop my Mary Kay Timewise regimen (non-retinol). But my skin looks great! It has really helped with the acne, and my skin looks very healthy (yes, I am still wearing masks every day at work - last summer my face continuously broke out with the heat and humidity + constant masking, this summer acne has not really been an issue). I have even gone into public with NO makeup on a few times since using this product, which I have rarely done in my adult life because I have always been so self-conscious of my skin. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because it is pretty greasy. I have oily skin, and I would not be able to wear it during the day or under make-up, so I put it on before bed. I also rub my hands together with bit of water after applying it to my face and it has helped the dryness and appearance of my hands as well, which I frequently wash or sanitize due to my profession.

I got breakouts as i have very sensitive skin.

I've suffered with dark spots on my face for a long time, then I saw this cream being talk about on YouTube I bought one and to my surprise it work like a miracle I love it, definitely will buy again
