I'm 41, Asian light/medium skin tone. This works well for me. It helped diminish a little line I was getting on my nose between my eyes from scrunching my nose. I also struggle with skin blemishes. I get these little bumps on my forehead and it's not cystic acne, but just seems like a lot of bumpy clogged pores. For some reason this has helped me with that a bit. My skin feels softer and smoother. There was a period that took a month to go away when I had some drying, but then I reduced the frequency of usage and now my skin is acclimated. I'm not a fan of scented products. The scent goes away, but that is probably the part I like least about this product.

I have been using this retinol treatment on face neck and chest for 2 months now. Not really so very expensive when you look at other products. A few drops go a long way. 5 months from my 60th birthday, I have tried most products- both expensive and not. Retinol is tricky. I have used prescription Retin-A (terribly drying) and Avene retinol- too thick and makes my skin look dull the next day. Revlon retinol serum- did nothing for me. This light (so light!) oil is perfect. I use it by itself after mild cleanser in the evening a couple times a week, then good SPF moisturizer in the AM. My skin looks soooo smooth and moist without being shiny, and the color very even. (I don't have many wrinkles, so I cant speak to that) The mammogram tech couldn't say enough about how good it looked LOL- and she sees us old ladies daily. Using it in the NE winter, but it's light enough I think it will be good in the summer. Does it dry your skin? Use less frequently. Smells fresh, like essential oil.

I'm afraid this product did more harm than good for my skin. I understand that some retinols require an easing-into phase, so I proceeded with caution with this product. I only used it once a week at night, then after 2 weeks with no issues, I upped my use to 2x/week. With nothing else changing or added into my very minimal nighttime routine, I noticed that I began breaking out on the days after I used this retinol. Once again, I understood that was possible with some retinols as they can purge the skin a bit, so I kept using it twice a week at night. Several weeks into this, I had to stop completely. My breakouts were getting worse and my skin would look red and splotchy after waking up. I also noticed a bit of a tingling sensation when I used my normal face wash and toner. After stopping use, my breakouts diminished and my skin felt less senstivie. However, the new breakouts had left some reddish marks behind which hyperpigmentation was one of the reasons I tried using this retinol to begin with. I gave this product another go a few weeks because I really wanted it to work, but the same problems occurred. I'm sad this didn't work for me as I spent the money on it, but hopefully my review will caution others before purchasing.

This product visibly changed my skin within 5 days to a week of using it! Really incredible, and no irritation whatsoever.
