Really works!
I’m 66 years young, smoke, and have played in the California sun much of my life, so my skin is showing my age. I resemble a California raisin. I have only used this product twice, but my skin is much softer and my pores are somewhat minimized. It really has made a difference. I am excited to see the results in a month and will post before and after pictures then. Highly recommended!

Not too harsh
This retinol works well. Especially for beginners or if you had to stop using retinol for a short period. Is strong enough but not too harsh on the skin.

Great for Sensitive, Oily Skin - But Not for Pores or Fine Lines
This serum does exactly what it promises - it balances the skin beautifully and is super gentle, even on my sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. I didn’t experience any breakouts or irritation, which is rare for me when using new products. My skin feels calm, hydrated, and more even overall. However, since it’s a retinol-based product, I expected it to minimize pores and smooth fine lines, but I didn’t notice much improvement in those areas. If your main goal is balanced, healthy, irritation-free skin, this serum is perfect. But if you’re looking for strong anti-aging or pore-refining results, it might fall a little short.

Subtle
gentle and didn’t irritate my skin, which I really appreciated. However, the results were pretty subtle, and it took a while to notice any changes in texture or tone. It’s an okay product for beginners, but not strong enough if you’re looking for something more effective.

Eine sehr gute Retinol-Creme, besonders für Anfänger. Ich habe sehr empfindliche Haut, und die Creme verursacht keine Nebenwirkungen.

Da resultados muy buenos y si no tienes piel sensible puedes usarla cada dia. Sí que después de una dos semanas por la mañana empecé a sentir que me falta hidratación pero con una crema hidratante por la mañana este problema se resuelve rápido

What I LIKE about it: 1) GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE RETINOL — The 0.1% retinol concentration is perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin. It delivers noticeable results—smoother texture, minimized pores, and improved elasticity—without causing irritation. 2) CICA FOR SOOTHING — The inclusion of Centella Asiatica (Cica) is a game-changer. It calms and hydrates the skin, making this essence an excellent choice for those prone to redness or sensitivity. 3) LIGHTWEIGHT TEXTURE — The serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers beautifully under other products, making it easy to incorporate into any skincare routine. 4) PORE AND SEBUM CONTROL — Regular use noticeably reduces sebum production and the appearance of pores, giving the skin a more balanced, refined look. 5) IMPROVES SKIN ELASTICITY — With continued use, skin feels firmer and looks more youthful, making it a great option for early anti-aging care. DISLIKE: The bottle is small (30 ml), so it might not last long if used daily. However, the results make it worth repurchasing. I hope you found this review HELPFUL. Makes reviewing worthwhile. Thank you.

Gentle retinol serum and perfect for beginners. Very light and easily absorbed into the skin. The bottle is quite generous as you only need a small amount. I usually use 3 pumps for full face and neck, and it lasted for 2.5 months using 4 times per week, which is think it was quite good value for money. It didn't create any irritation either, so win-win in my opinion.

Uso questo siero da circa un mese per riparare alle fastidiose rughette sotto agli occhi. Dopo un paio di settimane di uso alternato ma costante , le rughette sono diventate molto meno evidenti
