Amazing
I was gifted by Farmacy Beauty! But,First let's talk about the oils. The first oil is Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) seed oil aka Kalahari Melon Oil which is a non-fragrant plant oil rich in fatty acids that hydrate, replenish, and soothe skin. Palmitic, linoleic, oleic, and stearic fatty acids are ...

*gifted by Farmacy Beauty*I have recently just gotten into retinols and must say that I wasn't entirely impressed with this one.

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
I've been using it for 2 months now pretty religiously and I can honestly say my fine lines are "finer". I've been using honeymoon glow as well, swapping them out on certain nights. Just reordered this retinol because I love how quickly my skin absorbs it. It's a great addition to anyone's night time routine.

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
I have been nervous about trying retinol since I have sensitive skin, but so far this has not been too drying. I like the consistency, a little seems to go a long way. My only complaint is that it stinks like expired lipstick. Apparently this is normal, but another reviewer said that it smells nice and fresh..so I'm not convinced I didn't get an old one!
The best!

Comments about 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum
I have tried multiple retinol products and had to discontinue all of them due to my skin breaking out with huge, cystic bumps and also milia. Even with time my skin did not show enough benefit to continue working through the breakouts. UNTIL this retinol serum that not only doesn't break me out, but has even reduced my hormonal acne. It is also doing wonders for my dark spots (though I am also using the dark spot toner). I am almost to the point of not wearing makeup to work, that is how good my skin looks since starting this product!
Totally can tell the difference

I look at photos from a couple of years ago before I started using this, and I can totally see that my face is brighter and that fine lines are less noticeable.
