    I got this as a “starting off” formula of retinol and I am glad to say I haven’t had any irritation or problems from using it (for about three months). As it takes a long time to see results from...

    From research on skincare forums and case studies I've learnt that Retinol such as this can NOT give you short term results, or even medium term results. In fact, people only start showing results...

    Being used to using prescription retin a, I wasn’t expecting too awful much from this. Granted, I’ve not used retin a in a few months. But this stuff is amazing for my skin. My skin is clearer and...
