Worth trying if you're getting into the skincare game
I know it's good practice to have both of these things implemented into a skincare routine so I was excited to try this since the formula has both Retinol AND Vitamin C in the formula..I was taking 2 steps and combining them! This was my first time using Retinol and I was worried because I read it ...

Not doing this again.
I was excited to try this but was concerned about the mix i.e. Retinol + Vit C. I didn't realize these could be mixed as most sites say not to mix a retinoid and an acid. I am not new to retinols. I used this 2x a week, Tue, Fri, for two weeks. One day I had to take a double look at my face and ...

Made me breakout
I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and am prone to breakouts, especially now in my 50's and on an hrt. I tried using this only a couple of days a week to start and I would just immediately have redness and breakouts. It also really dried out my skin and the smell is funky. Good buy during the 21 days of beauty but I am returning.
The smellll
Horrible smell and immediately burned my skin. Returned immediately
great product!!! I use it everyday!
It feels great on face, i use it every morning!!
I would buy this product again and again.
I happened to stumble upon this product a few years ago and cannot take it out of my morning routine. When I ran low, I started searching for it because it leaves my skin feeling and looking hydrated. I even purchased the travel size to take with me when away from home. I have also added the eye product of the same product to ensure every area of my face is covered. It also feels wonderful when others compliment me when I am apply this product and add sunscreen.
Sensitive to Artificial Fragrance?
if so, this is your worst enemy. The scent actually isn't bad- similar to a men's cologne. However, I have asthma. I thought oh well, Im sure it'll wear off. WRONG. Within 10 minutes I was in an asthma flare, I washed my face and neck twice and still have a lingering sent. Washed my hands 4 times and still have a lingering scent. I can't believe hardly any reviews mentioned this.

- Q
Do I need to use a separate retinol serum with this product?
- Asked by B
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingIf you're aiming to achieve a specific level of retinol, you're welcome to use additional retinol products alongside this one. However, we recommend patch testing the combination by applying the formulas from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. This will help ensure that your skin doesn’t react negatively. That said, it's not essential to use multiple retinol products; you may find that this one alone is sufficient to address your skin concerns.Was this answer helpful to you
