La Roche-Posay Retinol 0.3% + Vitamin B3 Serum 30ml

Retinol serum at it’s concentrated level. The peel effect is very quick, not harsh and radiant after effect on my skin. Just  use it regular and rest days with good heavy moisturizer. One of La Reche-Posay’s best. 

Very gentle on my sensitive skin, has improved skin elasticity and evenness almost after the first week of use. Glad I purchased I was a bit hesitant due to my skin’s sensitivity but no problem so far and thankfully no peeling experienced! 

My skin looked clearer and brighter after using but find this product a little bit overpriced as there are cheaper products with same or better results.

This was my first retinol and I wasn’t disappointed, it didn’t at all leave my skin feeling irritated or dry so I’d say it’s perfect for someone who hasn’t used retinol before. I bought twice but now gone up to a stronger % of retinol as my skin is now used to this one (Murad), but it served its purpose and would reccomend for anyone starting out in their retinol journey!

If you prefer a high level of peeling then this is the product. Like 2-3 days of continuous usage-visible peeling is there. And it is a must to wear loads of moisturizer with spf during the day as the peel off skin will look dry all over face.  Wrinkles will diminish after religiously applying it (twice/thrice weekly at night) span of 8 weeks. 

Love this serum, feels amazing on my skin, really happy with this product, fast delivery which was brilliant. Would recommend and would buy again. 

I’m in my early 30s, so looking for preventative anti-ageing products, but unfortunately still getting hormonal acne around my jawline. I’ve been using this product for about 2 months and have been surprised to see a real improvement in my acne. It feels great to put on and smells lovely. I’m using more as preventative against wrinkles, so hopefully it’s doing the job there as well. My skin definitely feels very soft in the mornings. 

I absolutely loved this product! Ever since then I have tried other retinol’s and they have not been as effective as this one! Will definitely be coming back to purchase this. 

So don’t do what I did and use this product 2 nights in a row followed by exfoliator.. it will burn your skin off!! Safe to say this product works, but read about using retinol before using because I didn’t!! I’m going to start using once a week and work my way up..

Pros Gentle retinol product, served as a great introduction for others  Effective - experienced some peeling/purging around the 10 day mark. Skin texture has improved (less impact on tone).  Cons Effects taper off, after some time (and consistent use) unsure if this is due to the product denaturing in the bottle and becoming slightly less effective.
