Decent product, but not worth the price.
3I bought this product in hopes of treating my adult acne (primarily tiny closed comedones and blackheads around the T-zone). I applied it every night, followed by EltaMD PM face cream. After a week, I noticed the first results - pores were noticeably tighter, and the breakout area was slightly minimized. However, it never cleared my acne completely after almost six months of using it. I even tried different ways to use it - I applied it and waited for 1 hr for the skin to absorb it before applying a cream, and for the last two months, I have been only using treatment without any cream on top. It slightly increased effectiveness, but I still didn't get the results I was looking for. Pros - It's suitable for any skin type, even sensitive. This was the first Retinol treatment I have used, and I didn't have to build up a tolerance for it. Skin feels smoother and tighter in the morning. The product will last for a very long time, it's been six months, and I'm about halfway through. Cons - I found the formula to be too weak or not as effective as advertised.

Pills soooo bad
3This product works really well but it pills SO bad. i can't get it to not pill. I've tried it over moisturizer, under moisturizer, no moisturizer, no other products besides cleanser, used less than a pea size amount.. it still pills. I wish it didn't because i really do think this is a great product but for how expensive it is I can't deal with the pilling.

Great for acne and scars
5I have used this and the Brightening retinol, I love both. I use this 3-4x a week with Rebalance afterwards. My skin is clear and smooth the next morning with no irritation. My hair products were causing clogged pores on my temples and forehead, this completely eliminated them and has prevented more from occurring. This stuff is great for spot treating if you want to skip the whole face for a day or two. I love how it smooths out my nose and chin pores. I would definitely recommend if you are oily/combo with acne prone skin.

Great Retinol for Acne

Helped clear up bumps on my skin
5I've had little bumps on my chin for a few years that I couldn't kick with standard medical grade retinol, but this one did the trick. A little goes a long way!

Skin Changer!
5This product has absolutely changed my skin for the better. I got a PCA peel because I was getting some cystic breakouts again and my esthetician recommended I use a stronger retinol than what I had been using. Between the peel and starting the stronger retinol, I definitely had a solid 4-5 weeks of purging (gross, I know), but I'm so glad I stuck it out because no joke my skin has never looked better. This retinol is the biggest change I made to my nightly routine and I will never look back. I've been complimented on my skin, unprompted, twice now and I've told them both about this retinol. I would definitely suggest starting off slow since it is a strong product, and it's okay to back off if you're seeing some dry patches. Anyway, I'm hooked and I'll be telling everyone about this product!

Melasma treatment
3Purchased this to treat melasma. Not sure if it's working yet or not, as I've only been using it for a couple weeks.

Love this retinol!
4Both my husband & I use this product every other night & have seen great results. He has noticed a huge improvement in ingrown hairs in his beard area, while I notice a reduction in acne as well as more even skin. Neither of us had burning or sensitivity issues when we first started using, we started as recommended once a week for a couple weeks, then moved to twice a week until we worked out way to every other night.
