I have used Skinceutical CE Ferulic for many years, but when I ran out recently, I decided to try a less costly alternative. After reading many many reviews I settled on this Strivectin product.   My skin looks as good with this product as it has with the Skinceutical, and I think the addition of the retinol helps also.   Barring anything changing, I will certainly reorder this.

I have been using OTC retinols for a while, so I think the initial major results have already passed and now it's all about maintenance. I like to switch up products for variety. I got this on sale and so far am pleased with the performance. This retinol has continued to ward off acne and kept my skin smooth, which are the two main things I noticed when I started using retinol nightly. I like that there is vitamin C in there too, as I generally believe the vitamin C hype. I do have lots of sunspots and this doesn't do a thing for them, but they are so entrenched, no serum/cream/etc has ever made a dent in them. I continue applying in hopes that new spots are maybe less likely to take hold.

I wanted to love this product but I can’t get passed the heavy old lady perfume smell. Had to wash it off.

This serum is exactly what my skin needed and after a month of use I can see a total difference!! My skin is clearing and the dark spot are lightening. It is also clearing my black heads. I do wish I could see into the bottle. It's a heavy bottle and it's hard to tell when it's getting low.

Over all it is good. It did make my skin slightly red but it was not as harsh as other retinol based serums. BUT, the smell. It is so perfum-y I can barely stand it.

First, I'm not fond of the smell but it disappears quickly. It leaves my face brighter and softer. I'm also using it on my my hands and part of my calf that have dermatitis dark spots to lighten them and it works.

I love this lightweight, delicious-smelling, anti-aging serum. It really evens out the skin tone and fine lines around the eyes, within just a few weeks! I've never used a retinol product before and had zero irritation. My friends even noticed my improved skin texture after about a month of using this!
