Perfect retinol cream, very gentle

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

I add this retinol cream to my night routine and find it a perfect companion to my sleep and replenish night time moisturiser. It is a light, easily absorbed cream in a pump dispenser and a perfect addition to the regime.

Early days

I purchased this after reading the really good reviews and it was on offer with 50% off. It’s too early to comment on its effectiveness, but it absorbs well, and doesn’t irritate my face and I apply the night forum’s moisturiser on top. I have high hopes for it so hoping it helps

Works on my hypoallergenic skin

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

I am hypoallergenic and this does not upset my skin. I used to use No 7 Protect and perfect for years but got to pricey so tried this and found this worked far better.

Retinoids serum

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Yes, I recommend this

Feels good on the face and non drying but too soon to say if it has the desired effect. Like it enough to re-purchase in the future especially at the price.

Bought as recommended on TV. Used it for a week. I think it has improved the texture of my skin but too early to be sure.

No, I don't recommend this

This brought my neck out in a rash so haven’t used it on my face. Sad because I bought two thinking it would be great

Quite like but...

I used to buy the Absolute Serum which I loved. But it was discontinued. Bought as a replacement, seems ok but I'll continue to try out other alternatives.
