I am new to retinols, and I am either having an allergic reaction to this product, or I am going through what I've have read can be a purging period of sorts where the skin can get worse before it gets better. Just wondering if that is the case with this product.

amazing, but picky, product
This product will do everything it claims to. However, the first few days of use I was dissapointed because I was not seeing many results. What I was doing was washing with Purity at night, applying a thin layer of Help Me, and applying a good layer of Hope In A Jar to prevent dryness. I didn't know...

Reducing appearance of sun damage
I'm 64, and started using "help me" at night about two weeks ago to fade small patches of skin discoloration from sun damage on my face that occurred years ago. So far it has helped a little; I'm hoping the end result will be a decreased need for concealer and/or foundation. ;-)

I've used the prescription Vit A products since I was in my 30's. I even worked on the clinical trials for Renova. This product is as good as the very high priced rx's for Vit A wrinkle reduction products and more powerful than other otc renitol containing products. Highly recommend!
Love this product.

This retinol cream is just as effective as the prescription one I had. It's also more affordable than the prescription brand. It has kept my skin wrinkle free for years. No one can believe that I'm almost 50!

This stuff is what dreams are made of. I have been using this product for well over 20 years and now my daughter is using it. My skin looks wonderful and I thank Philosophy every day.
