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...

Perfect formula - plz make a jumbo size
Reviewed at
I have no complaints about this serum. I didn't purge like I would with most retinoids, I've been using for 3 months and l notice a difference in my skins texture. My only feedback would be that I have to rebuy almost once a month and I wish you would come out with a jumbo size

If I'm understanding correctly from the Mad Hippie website, this Super A is their new "updated" serum from the previous Vitamin A. This Super A is a tad more potent and I have had to start more slowly. I tried using two nights in row and it did cause some redness in cheek areas. Where as the standard Vitamin A I could use night after night with no issues. I like that Bakuchiol is part of the formula. For the price and results, it's worth keeping in my routine along with various other brands of retinol/vitamin A.

This puts other retinols to shame

This retinol saved me from having to go to the dermatologist. I hade two rather large/angry milia on my chin , I used this for a few weeks and finally all the gunk came out . All my acne prone and plugged skin is so much clearer and smoother , and I'm not fighting with milia any longer . I had used the ordinary retinol in the past and it did nothing . This retinol is gentle and effective !
Amazing!

Whenever my skin starts to feel bumpy/uneven or starts breaking out I use this and it clears everything right up!

- 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
