Don’t know about this one

I really have doubts. My skin gets sensitive after using this and for me that’s not the problem. The problem is that my makeup the next day is a nightmare to put on.

Beware of red skin

1

I have to agree with Ciara (and others): this retinol cream destroyed my skin. It was red, flaky, and super sensitive (even touching the skin was unpleasant). I used the cream very sparingly and waited for two weeks to see if the peeling would stop and new skin would appear, but no luck. My skin went back to normal after a week of discontinuing use and calming Avene creams. I am used to retinols (I used a couple of retinols from other companies for years) so I didn't expect such a strong reaction. My advice is to try a sample first and see if your skin can tolerate it.

So bad!

I was really looking forward to trying this as I had read great reviews about it, and I absolutely love the TLC serum, B-hydra serum and Marula oil from this range. However, this has destroyed my skin!! I followed the directions exactly. I used it sparingly and with the B-hydra serum once a week, and SPF50 everyday. My skin first started to peel off, then it became so sensitive and red and sore, I have had to stop using everything and switch to Zelens recovery balm. It also cause huge boils on my cheeks and chin that are not healing well. I would not recommend this product at all!!

This is my first experience with retinol. I was very nervous about adding retinol into my skincare regime. It’s been 3 weeks and I’ve been taking it slow using it only twice a week. Good news is there is no redness, peeling which is a good thing. Best applied with moisturiser for ease of application. No visible results yet, but so far so good. Will keep on going.

Nice retinol cream

I do like this cream, it absorbs quickly, no irritation. I normally use some facial oil right afterwards, eg Marula oil or Sunday RileyJjuno oil. However, I can’t comment on any skin improvement as frankly speaking I personally never really see any caused by any retinol skin care on me....but most likely it’s just me.

GAMECHANGER!!

I have always been a skincare fanatic and this is literally the only product that has actually changed my skin. Patience required for the irritated/peeling phase but stick with it.. you won’t regret it. Also lovely combined with other DE products.

Unreal

So this is amazing now I have figured out how to use it properly. if I left a review after my first go, then it would have been the same as SHELL's review. I use it once a week and sparingly and I make sure my eyes and neck are thoroughly protected with a barrier. The effect is stunning, my skin is clear, and smooth and feels like glass. I almost feel like I never need another salon or home facial again as it is so so good. The skin does peel off but it is so light and soft and non irritating. Please figure out how to use it properly otherwise you will have a bad reaction. if you do, don't be put off, just educate yourself and try again as it works like a dream.

Awful

Awful, awful, awful. Burning skin, look like I’ve got eczema. Painful, red skin, can’t even tolerate cotton wool.
