I’ve got my whole family on this because it’s that good! Made my skin improve so much. I had a lot of tinny bumps on my skin which I couldn’t get rid of but after 2 weeks on this and they all gone. So glad I started using it.

Smoother plumper skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This feels really nice when applying, it quite quickly is absorbed into your skin and begins to make a difference fairly quickly. I like that it doesn't feel oily at any point.

I didn’t see any improvement

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

In the past I have used a prescription retinoid (higher %) and perhaps my expectations were too high because of this, but I didn’t see any noticeable difference when using this product.  This may be ideal for someone starting out  with retinols :)
