Wanted to love but ruined my skin
I have struggled with hormonal acne for years now, but nothing besides some returning pimples that, looking back, were more of annoyance if anything. Having LOVED Mad Hippie's Vitamin C serum and recieving a sample of this Vitamin A serum within my package, I figured I'd give it a shot and see if th...

Not for everyone, Can be irritating
I have oily skin and enlarged pores. I used this to address some sun damage on my forehead, but every time I would use this at night, I woke up the next day with reactive skin. It felt a little tight, kind of like a sunburn. The oil would be gone and the skin smooth, but after I would cleanse my skin would go into sebum overdrive, producing too much oil that day to fix what was stripped away. I didn't use it every night, it was every other night and my skin still couldn't take it. I would just caution you to pay attention to what your skin is trying to tell you and discontinue use if needed.
Love this stuff

I have eczema, and my skin is allergic to basically everything. This serum is wonderful - it's gentle and calming, and leaves my face feeling comfortable (as opposed to itchy and on fire like with most facial products, even the ones that are supposed to be for sensitive skin). I'm not so concerned about wrinkles or aging; I just love how this product makes my face stop hurting. I've been using it for over a year, and have never had a bad reaction. I use it sparingly, maybe once a week or so, and I still think it makes a big difference.

I was so excited to try this product and add it to my vegan skincare routine. I absolutely loved using this for a number of weeks but after that i had to stop using it as the product seemed the have spoilt and had a rather off putting odor. I may try this product again in the future.

- Q
Could you describe the viscosity (thickness) of Super A Serum? The serum in the bottle that I purchased is so thick that the dropper is virtually ineffective.
- Asked by Samantha
- Official Answer By Mad HippieThe Super A Serum has a thick, somewhat creamy consistency. This is primarily due to the combo of the three retinols + bakuchiol. To help with dispensing, we recommend slowly squeezing and slowly releasing the rubber top; these extra few seconds give the serum time to suction into the glass pipette. It might take a bit of practice, but this tip is very effective.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Without giving away any of your proprietary formulation, does the percentage of the bakuchiol extract fall within the 0.5-2% range that's been shown to be clinically effective?
- Asked by Jen
- Official Answer By Mad HippieThe Super A Serum is formulated & clinically tested to visibly improve signs of aging such as a loss of firmness or elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. It contains three bioactive retinoids at clinical levels: HPR, retinol, and retinyl linoleate. Bakuchiol, a plant-sourced active that acts like a retinoid, works beautifully alongside the retinoids to deliver marked results to sun-damaged and aging skin. In clinical trials for the Super A Serum, 100% of users reported smoother, healthier-looking skin, with zero irritation after 8 weeks. Our goal when formulating is to deliver the best results we can achieve without causing irritation to the average user. We don't rely on single active formulas - we choose complementary ingredients to enhance results.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can i use this on my forearms for wrinkles and dark spots?
- Asked by Kat
- Official Answer By Mad HippieOur products are formulated for the face and neck, though you’re welcome to use them on your arms as well. We recommend applying sunscreen daily, as exfoliants like vitamin A can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can this product be used with the Triple C night cream ?
- Asked by Dawn
- Official Answer By Mad HippieIn general, using vitamin A alongside our Triple C Night Cream works well for most people, but if you have sensitive or reactive skin, we encourage patch-testing first to ensure the combo works well for your skin. You can also alternate nightly between them.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
can i use the super a, vitamin c and the corrective peptide serum in conjunction?
- Asked by naya
- Official Answer By Mad HippieThe actives in these formulas can surely coexist in your skincare routines! For best results, we recommend using our Vitamin C Serum & Corrective Peptide Serum in your morning routine and saving retinol-based products such as the Super A Serum for nighttime. This allows each formula to work optimally without the potential risk of irritation.Was this answer helpful to you
