So impressed - comparable to $$$ brands
This stuff is so flippin' impressive! I decided to try it during a bogo 50% deal. I have used the Vitamin C serum and decided to try this retinol serum when restocking (retinol is otherwise known as Vitamin A). I am super impressed by the noticeable difference in my skin texture in the morning. Sinc...

Eh
I wanted to love this product based on the reviews. I tried it for two months off and on and decided to return it. The serum leaves a slightly sticky residue and made no visible improvement to the discoloration of my skin. It's not drying, and made my skin look rosy, but I don't think it "dramatical...

Great product.
I've used this and the Triple C night cream for years. Love Mad Hippie products
A little disappointed.
I'm using the Mad Hippie sunscreen and have been pleased, so I thought I'd try this serum. Despite the bottle being sealed it was half full and the dropper does not work properly. I can't comment on the effectiveness of the product since I've only used it a few times. I followed the directions and had no problems with irritation.
Reverse aged 5 years at least
This product single handedly saved my skin. I've tried so many other vitamin A / retinoid products and they've either been way too strong or do absolutely nothing. I finally asked my dermatologist for a recommendation (don't know why I didn't ask sooner) and she recommended this product and I am so grateful. It's gentle enough that I was able to ramp up to nightly use super quickly, but also effective. I've definitely noticed that my sun spots are fading and I feel like my crow's feet have reverse aged 5 years already.
Gentle but still effective
I've had terrible experiences with retinoids (purging, flaky skin, etc.) so I was hesitant to try this, but it is SO good. Extremely gentle (I haven't noticed any dryness) but still effective. You need!!
Game Changing Product
This is my go to evening product. I switch up using this and the AHA exfoliating serum from MH in the evenings. Not too harsh on my skin and my skin looks brighter and tighter.
