I’ve been using this product for 2-3 years now. Here’s my story: around 41 years old I felt I needed something better than Oil of Olay (I’ve used that since I was 17). So I went to a dermatologist & she gave me a Rx for retinol A. I can’t remember which brand (low dose) but as soon as I started using it I noticed a difference in my facial skin and not in a good way. I gave it 2 weeks, followed instructions to the T (no direct sun, etc). Within a few days of commencement my skin began to dry out so bad no facial moisturizer was helping. The skin at the tops of cheeks under my eyes but not directly under was beginning to look like crepe paper, sort of wrinkly. That’s not how my skin was and the skin on my chin looks blotchy- it’s hard for me to explain. I was extremely worried & stopped using it. I then began buying expensive facial creams from Sephora. But I wasn’t getting better especially considering the amount I was paying. Then one day while grocery shopping at Ralph’s I decided to take a look at their facial creams. I’d used oil of Olay pretty much my whole life & constantly got compliments on my skin. I’m sure genes had a lot to do with that too. After an hour I decided on this product. $23 was by far a lot less than the other stuff I was buying. That night I washed my face & applied this stuff. The next morning I could not believe the difference. My skin already looked better. I’ve used it every night since. And will not stop until I die or they stop making it (sorry to say my vanity prefers the former scenario.) I’ve run into problems buying it because Ralph’s doesn’t really carry it & Rite Aid seems to have discontinued it as well and that’s when I began to freak out. But Amazon carries it & its soooo much cheaper. I like that it’s in a tube, pump would be bettter but probably make it more expensive to produce, because the product isn’t all exposed to air like if it was in a tub. Oxidation seems to affect the effectiveness, which it does to any product I suppose. Any hoot, disclaimer: I am not a chemist or getting paid or receiving free products. Any of those would be nice though. My individual results are not a promise that this will work as well for you. We ALL have different skin and will react differently to this. BUT it certainly has helped me. Yes, my skin will never be the same due to aging but retinol A damaged my skin enough that that alone steered me clear of that Rx. Some people swear by retinol A but not me. I’m beginning to get compliments again on my skin and I definitely believe it was this cream that’s helped. Like I said before, everyone will have a different reaction, mine has been great.
