Holy Grail Skin Product

There are so many reasons to buy this product! I bought it at Ulta a week ago and have used it every night. The difference in my skin is so dramatic, in such a short time. In fact, no product has ever made such a difference in my skin, at all, let alone so quickly. A little background- I'm in my 50...'s with all sorts of vexing problems. Aging, sure. Wrinkles and lines. I have no interventions like neuro toxins and fillers and have deep forehead lines bc I have hooded eyelids so constantly use those muscles to open my eyes. But I battle stubborn pimples, hyperpigmentation/melasma and texture issues. I also used to be an esthetician and know ingredients and skin care. I'm no retinol novice either. From high end retinols by so many well known brands to RX script tretinoins- vitamin A- I have tried or used many and done the dance to balance what works at all vs what torments the skin with peeling, redness, sensitivity and maybe still doesn't do enough to suffer through those side effects. This product has none of those issues. Each morning has been a welcome surprise of further and actually stunning improvement. In one week, my stubborn few pimples are abating swiftly and healing beautifully, my texture is dramatically smoother, more youthful and my skin is glowing. Even my deep forehead and 11 lines and wrinkles are showing massive softening and filling. My hyperpigmentation is fading as well, though I don't expect that to go entirely away. One bad spot is from a facial injury where I broke my cheekbone and the skin discolored when damaged. So I remain realistic about any product fixing that completely. But I barely need concealer, in only one week. This product is expensive for an ounce. No doubt. But I will rebuy over and over with the results I am experiencing. And all my other products just got relegated to finishing up on my body. As an esthetician who worked with many different types of skin and issues, I acknowledge we are all individuals and skin can react differently, so maybe not every person in the world will have the same experience. But it is the one (and only) product I have ever tried that delivers so effectively, so swiftly and without one bad side effect. Before you spend money on any other retinol or retinal, let alone other anti aging types of ingredients, give this a go! I'd also like to note it is the only product I changed to my routine, to credit these dramatic results. I already use a Dermalogica cleanser and daily exfoliants (though I have many other products from many other lines that I no longer have interest in or use for). The amount of money I will save after discovering this holy grail, power house product will more than make up for its cost per ounce. They named this correctly- it truly is dynamic.
