Great Great mild serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is so lovely ! Gives lovely results and feels lovely on the skin for such a great price. I would recommend using this on nights in between ‘harder treatments’ or as a way to start introducing retinol. Works well with the pixi overnight retinol oil.

Effective and amazing value

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Have used this serum for the past 18 months after reading a review of affordable and effective skincare products in the Daily Mail. I was sceptical that a retinol product at this price could work. Have to say, I am really impressed with the results but be patient as it doesn't happen overnight. Yes it did irritate a little at first but soon got used to it. I now use every other night under a hyaluronic cream. Over time, it removes all the dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion. I am in my 60's and am often told I look 10 years younger despite the fact that I didn't have good skin in my youth. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Amazing Serum!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This serum has been incredible for my skin: I have suffered with very unpleasant hormonal acne along my jawline, as well as dull skin. Using this for the first week, my skin was completely changed! My face was brighter, new breakouts stopped, and old acne scars began to fade. A month on, I’m getting complements on the healthy look of my skin, as it is blemish free and glowing. I am able to go without foundation, and feel much more confident. I think this Serum will have great benefits in the long run.

Just brilliant

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

For the price I wasn’t expecting much, but wanted to give retinol a try. Well.. I am so surprised at the results I have had - it’s amazing! After just a couple of weeks my skin is definitely more glowy and looks refreshed, and it definitely feels smoother. I even think my fine lines have faded. I haven’t had any sort of reaction to this product, even though I had been warned that retinol can take some getting used to. I was sceptical but am converted! I would recommend this to anyone, and will be buying again!

It changes my skin!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I absolutely love this product. The % of retinoids are perfect for my skin to handle. I use it on my oily skin at a serum stage of skin care routine(sometimes even without moisturizer afterwards). in the evening. And in the morning i can clearly see that skin looks and feels smoother,blemishes and comedones tend to disappear and discoloration is fading.Perfect
