Andalou Naturals Age Defying Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Cream, 1.7 Ounce

I’m a big fan of Andalou since I first tried it. I decided to try more than my beloved and mostly ordered Andalou Lift & Firm Cream. I ordered this Rejuvinating Cream and love it! In comparison, the L&F cream is much lighter feeling and absorbs quicker. That said, this one isn’t heavy by any means. It leaves my face feeling kind of silky. I have combination skin with dry cheeks and oily t-zone. I also hot flash easily and it gets hot & humid summers here and when I walk the dog for about an hour in all that, I prefer to use the lightest possible. Otherwise, I love using this one under my powder makeup as it leaves a slight surface for powders to adhere to better, yet still feels light & very moisturizing. It does almost feel like it’s plumping up my skin giving a more youthful appearance wearing it under my powder makeup. Totally effective & I will be buying more of this especially during autumn & winter months! 💜

I love the softness my skin feels from using this cream, but it isn’t an anti-aging cream. Scent is great and so is the moisturizing, but by morning my face feels dry again. Good price, but I use it because I have super sensitive skin. So quality is good for the price- no break-outs, but no anti-aging properties.

I use this on the opposite days of retinol. No smell. Great ingredients. My skin feels and looks very healthy. Thick but your skin drinks it in

I really wanted this to work! Good price, good reviews, and I really liked it for the first 2 days. I love the texture. It’s very soft and smooth and almost a whipped cream consistency. It made my skin feel so soft!! But I was worried the moment I opened it because it was pretty scented. I actually quite like the smell. The problem is heavily scented products usually make me break out. By the third day, rough red bumps began appearing on my face. I discontinued use and within a few days my face was back to normal. It wouldn’t be fair to give it a bad review because it didn’t specifically claim to be safe for sensitive skin, so I don’t fault the product for that. I hope it works for most people, but if you have skin that’s sensitive to scented products, this is probably not for you.

I use this after my shower on my face and head. Absorbs quickly and lasts all day.

Loved it

I love the new formula with bakuchiol in it. Enough moisture for my skin at night. Wake up looking refreshed. My current brand favorite. Out performs similar bakuchiol night creams.

This cream is very light and quickly absorbed into the skin. It smells vaguely like mangoes. For me, it’s ok but I really wish it was more moisturizing. I have combination skin which gets dry in certain zones, especially in the winter. This product, used twice daily all over my face, does not moisturize well enough. It is so light it disappears into my face and doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference at all. I’m not experiencing the anti-aging effects of some other creams. This product would probably be great for someone with oilier skin or perhaps in the summer or spring time when heavy moisture is less needed. I will probably try it again later and use something richer for now.
