Retinol Cream - Reduces Wrinkles, Fine Lines and Dryness - Face Moisturizer for All Skin Types - 1.7 oz

Great product. With 3% Retinol, that's the highest Retinol concentration and nicely priced at $7.99 and 50 ml compared to other brands that are on >$25+ to $60+ price range & only 30 ml. I was skeptical at first because it's made in China and the price is cheap so I was prepared to throw it away if the quality was poor. But I was pleasantly surprised with the high quality and it's better than other brands that are much more expensive that are made in the US or France with only 1% to 2.5% of Retinol. This one is 3% with Vit C, E & B5, Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter and Propolis. For people who is not familiar with Retinol, it's the only skincare product that was well tested and proven that could actually erased finelines and significantly diminished wrinkles by 50% to 80%. It's important to remember to use a good moisturizer after applying Retinol because it is more than likely GOING to dry your skin. I only gave 3 stars to this product as a moisturizer but I didn't expect it as good moisturizer. I bought it for the high concentration of Retinol which is impressive.I've been using Retinol for almost 30years thus the name FlawlessFace because in my late 50s, I don't have a single fine lines or wrinkles on my face. I was impressed with Retinol as my wrinkle-free 63 year old coworker told me about the wonder of Retinol when I was in my mid 20s when I didn't know anything about skincare. I had fine lines on my forehead then in my mid 20s because I was always under the sun and my only skincare was Safeguard or Dial deodorant soap to wash my face. Yes, I was that ignorant. My first Retinol in the early 90s was made by Le'Oreal. After about 3 months of daily use, the fine lines were completely gone. I was so impressed that I promised myself to use Retinol as prophylaxis or as preventive measures to avoid getting wrinkles when I get older like my 63 yr old coworker. Now in my late 50s I have yet to see a single fine line on my face or around the eye area. Not once I had botox injection or facelift. I am the envy of my family, friends and coworkers. I always get compliments in a daily basis because of my flawless skin. It's dewy, plumped, hydrated and truly flawless. I'm a man and never use makeup.

I bought this moisturizer because of how it dispenses. I discovered this type of dispenser when I was ambushed in a mall and spent an exorbitant amount of money on a lovely moisturizer with the most heavenly light scent. This moisturizer doesn't really have a scent; however, I do like the non-greasy moisture it provides my skin. Since it's made in China, I have no idea if all those attractive ingredients are really in it, but if not, they say you get what you pay for. I'm 63 and have always been told I don't look my age no matter what age I've been. Until that mall experience, my moisturizer has been the Equate brand of a common moisturizer. I've never believed expensive products were any better than economy ones and since I don't look my age, I think I'm right about that. I just had a weak moment where some salesperson convinced me otherwise. I've since filled that empty expensive dispenser with that Equate brand moisturizer. But I do like this one and if it really has Retinol, then the price is certainly reasonable. Some have said it lightened their brown/age spots, but that has not been the case for me.

It is working.

I am always skeptical about using face creams because I tend to break out more. This stuff is amazing and I am so glad I gave in and purchased it. My skin was very dry and fine lines were showing but since using this product for only three days every night before bed on a fresh clean face, my skin is already appearing plump and super soft to the touch. So radiant and smooth. I highly recommend. I wash my face in the mornings and only wear serum because this does tend to make my face sweat alot if worn during these hot days but it will be perfect for winter days for sure.

Pros-All ingredients are listed, cruelty free and all that other good stuff.Cons-Made my face a little dry and I started breaking out, however, this could be my fault because I've been a little crusty lately.Summary-I preferred the Aliver brand Retinol cream that is only $1 more, but the fact that no ingredients are listed on that bottle is weird and I am a little concerned. But it felt amazing on my face so for me, it is the winner. This brand didn't make my face feel as fresh and soft after use and like I said I started breaking out although I am not 100% sure it is the fault of the moisturizer because I haven't been my best lately. Usually I only have minor or no breakouts though and I'm not always perfect so I don't know.I decided to subtract 1 star from this review because I honestly didn't like it and I think I'm too generous for reviews. It was very drying to my skin (I'm 33) and I quit use. Maybe if you have oily skin you might like it. I am leaning that this drying out my skin which it 100% did helped me break out.

This has been a great addition to my beauty routine, especially for the Winter. The consistency is a little thicker than I am used to, so it took some rubbing to really get this to soak into my face and blend out all the cream. As for how well it works, I'm very satisfied. This has left my face feeling smooth overall without greasy spots or dry areas that I usually suffer from. It feels light on my face and barely has any smell, at least to me. It even leaves my hands smooth after rubbing onto my face, which is a nice bonus.
