Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Concentrate Retinol Serum, 1. 01 Fl. Oz.

I’ve been using this product for a couple of years now and I always get compliments on my skin. This just does so much for you, I recommend it if you’re on the fence or if you have sensitive skin and aren’t sure this will work for you - just try it. I have sensitive skin and I find this to be mild and not at all irritating, only a slight tingle that usually dissipates quickly. It’s lightweight and evens out the tone and texture of my skin in addition to smoothing out any lines. I love it and will continue using it!

This has a little bit more moisture than a regular serum. Are use in rotation with vitamin C and glycolic acid. I think it has really helped some of the spots. it’s not gonna eliminate them but it makes them smaller and fade to a lighter color

This is a very light cream for which a small dab covers a large area. It has a very slight floral odor which fades quickly. After applying, my skin feels slightly warm for a short while, but with no other problems.The Allure site has a useful article about retinoid myths (link in comment below), in which I learned that it takes several weeks for the effects to show up in the skin. Thus I am not surprised that my skin basically looks the same, but now I know that I have to keep it up for a few weeks to see an effect. Note, other ingredients in this cream should have a more immediate hydrating effect on wrinkles, such as hyaluronic acid -- the skin feels better, but I don't really see an immediate difference.Another thing I learned from that article is that various retinoids can irritate the skin, until the skin adapts. There are many forms of retinoids, not all as effective as retinoic acid, but this cream contains retinol, which is just as effective as retinoic acid but gentler. So I first tried this cream on the inside of my forearm, but fortunately got no rash. It seems like this cream has promise, but it will take a while to know for sure, but so far I like it.

Im loving this. I love the Vichy brand anyway but this retinol is working wonders on age spots essentially making them dissappear in no time at all. Nice texture, smooth and easy to apply.

I've used a lot of night creams, and this one is by far the best. Lines around my mouth, forehead and lips are plumped when I wake in the morning. Someone mentioned redness around eyes, I am not sure you should be applying to the eye area. There is a separate cream for that. I have used this cream for a few years and always have great results. I'm 45 years old and I don't look a day over 35. I cannot credit it all to this cream, but it definitely has been one of the catalysts.
