PurOrganica Retinol Serum - Best Treatment for Acne and Acne Scars, Pigmentation, Fine Lines, Wrinkles and Dark Circles - Premium 2.5% Retinol, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid & Jojoba Oil

Great, easy to use product. I really love the dropper bottle so I don’t use too much of it once and end up going through it too quickly. I also like that it has such a high retinol content for the price. As a retinol user for many years, this product is a great deal compared to other products on the market.Really a fan of this product and I totally recommend it.One thing to note is that on the bottle it says that it is recommended to use a moisturizer when using this product, so it might be a bit drying if you use it by itself. Also be sure to remember to put on sunscreen if you use a retinol product during daylight hours, and if you have sensitive skin it is probably better to put it on only overnight because Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to UV rays . Also, if you have never used a retinol product before, you might notice some skin irritation at first, just a warning. After a few days wearing it, the side effects do go away. It’s totally worth it in my opinion, my skin looks so much more vibrant and younger since I started using Retinol products 3 years ago! Love retinol.

I have been using it for a month and it seems to be working. Just remember to always have a moisterier after it, otherwise, it can dry out your skin.

I normally wouldn't do a review with photos as I am self conscious about my acne and never photograph my face without some sort of foundation powder. But this has worked so well. I decided to take a photo every day for a few days to see how much better -- or worse -- it is getting.. But I wasn't planning to show them. However, I thought it may be helpful to others. I have cystic acne and have struggled with the problem since I was about 13-years-old and I am now 31-years-old. I have tried about all over the counter treatments: creams, liquid astringents, benzoyl peroxide, masks, strips, noxzema, salicylic acid, and even proactive.. Nothing worked well. I still use benzoyl peroxide cream to spot treat when desperate.. But no matter how often or infrequent I used it, just using it on two blemishes would cause my whole face to become very red, inflamed, itchy, stung, burned and for several days after. Then it would become dry, flaky and sometimes even scab over. But this along with neutrogena bar soap and neutrogena natural moisturizer with SPF combination has been working very well. And my face is healing and my overall complexion looks better.

I'd like to start by saying if I knew how to post pictures I would. I've only been using this product for a few days so I've not seen much improvement yet, but I'm almost out of the bottle already. I have high hopes so I'm going to buy a few more so I can continue to use it twice a day for a few months. I have bad scars on my back from acne and a case of chicken pox when I was 16. I have anxiety and a skin picking disorder so in addition to acne scars I have self inflicted scars and self harm scars. I have been using this twice a day on my entire back, face, and arms. So if you only have a small problem area I'm sure the bottle would last so much longer. I'm at my wit's end with feeling so uncomfortable in my skin, I am now 20 and am always wearing longer sleeved shirts. If this doesn't help fade the scars and give me a confidence boost I really don't know whats going to help. I do recommend this product however, it is not sticky or smelly, and doesn't dry out my skin either.

This stuff is a godsend! The second time I’ve bought this, lasts forever. Holy grail to me. I have a skin picking disorder, I’m often creating unnecessary wounds on my face. It’s been an emotional struggle figuring out how can I live with this and take care of my skin and be happy with it too? The herbal infusion and aloe helps heal me so quickly, and the rest of it is so great for scarring which is my biggest fear and concern. I will forever buy this as long as it’s available. I use it for spot treatment and it lasted me over a year. I rebought thinking oh it’s gonna be $20-30. Nope. $11. What?! I want to hug whoever is responsible for this. Buy it! If you’re concerned about an allergic reaction I’d say for one always test a small area not on face first. Like neck. But I would take the leap that this probably wouldn’t hurt sensitive skin like that. It’s incredibly soothing, gentle. The acid in it is a moisturizing acid that already exists within us. I always put lotion on top after the serum dries. It’s not meant to replace a moisturizer. But seriously, just buy it, if you have redness or wounded skin, this will calm you noticeably within 1-2 hours.

I purchased this product because I was looking for something to fix my moderate acne. I have pretty good skin generally, but I get these HUGE acne areas in different places on my face on a weekly basis. They are quite painful, take about 2 weeks to fully heal, and nothing was working (including a great diet and daily exercise) except for a brand I now know tests on animals. Looking to make the switch, I wanted to find something cruelty free and a bit more natural.I was definitely skeptical because the title says for acne but all of the reviews talk about the anti-aging properties. I almost didn't order it, but I decided to try it. It wasn't a "magical" cure, by any means. It's taken about 3 weeks of consistent use, but my skin is quite clear at the moment. This is the first week with no breakouts in months. Not only is my skin CLEAR, but I'm also experiencing the dewey, soft skin others mentioned! I'm only 23, but I think continuous use would help prevent many aging markers - wrinkles, dark spots, etc. My face looks and feels so good! I've struggled with my skin on and off for about 11-12 years, and while this didn't work overnight like the previous brand I was using, it has worked BETTER than any other product I've tried!

Good but little oily

Few products inspire me to write reviews but this is one of them. I was a little cautious about ordering after reading the mixed reviews but I'm so glad I did. I wanted to give it a fair shot before reviewing and have now been using it once a day for three weeks. The results are amazing. I bought it for hormone-induced spots/acne (I'm a 40-something woman on the mini pill!). The number of spots has reduced dramatically and those that do appear are smaller and less painful and heal much faster. I do also cleanse and tone as well, though. I am hopeful that with prolonged use over a number of months that the spots will disappear altogether.However, the biggest surprise has been the dramatic impact on the dark circles under my eyes. They're pretty much genetic and it doesn't matter how much sleep I get, how much water I drink or what I eat. They're just there. Until now. I hadn't given the serum a second thought on the dark circles but they've all but gone. I can't believe it. I've used countless top-end creams since my late teens to no effect. I've used this for three weeks daily and wow!I will certainly continue using this daily and would just say to anyone who orders it to give it time to work. It's supposed to take a good three months to have the full effect so stick with it. Can't wait to see what my skin is like in another two months' time! The wrinkles/crows feet around my eyes are less defined, too :)

Love this so much, when it was not in stock I tried other brands, but they were no where near as good. As soon as I used it my husband commented on how smooth my face looks. My pores are minimised and my nose is less greasy. My eye bags are not so puffy.I do not wear much make up, some powder ocassionally, but with this product my skin looks like I am wearing foundation and powder.My dark scars from zits have cleared a lot and my face feels lovely.This is my second purchase and I will buy it again. It does last a couple of months if not longer. I use it twice a day, in the morning after toning with witch hazel and rose water, I massage the serum into my face and neck and then put on some pure organic aloe vera gel.In the evening after toning I put the serum on and then some organic Melon, coconut,grape seed, calendula, chamellia oil mix, with lavender, and other essential oils.I highly recommend this product.

I have only been using this a short while so it’s hard to comment much. So far so good! My skin seems to be adjusting well to it. I use it at night on dry skin after cleansing. A little seems to go a long way, one drop covers my entire face. It dries very quickly and leaves no residue behind. I know this isn’t a moisturiser but it seems to work fine alone, by morning my skin isn’t dry. I know it will take a few weeks yet to start seeing changes in my skins appearance. I am hoping my mottled hypopigmentation will fade, as well as some old acne scars. I will review this further in the up coming weeks when hopefully I can give this product 5*!

When I first brought this product I was in love, it was a somewhat thick consistency and I saw changes in 3 days, however after my 3rd reoccurring purchase I noticed the formula was changed. It’s a much more runny consistency and honestly doesn’t impact my skin as used to. I’d prefer if they used their old formula as it really did cause visible difference. I would like a refund as now this product no longer works for me :( and it is pricey
