Natural Retinol Serum 0.25% – With Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins C & E, Aloe Vera, and Jojoba Oil – Targets Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Uneven Tone – Fast-Absorbing, Vegan & Organic, 30 mL

This product really is excellent value for money. As some reviewers have said, it's not the strength of a prescription retinol product, but if you want a prescription anti-ageing product then you'll have to pay for a private dermatology consultation and a private prescription, so clearly you wouldn't expect to get a prescription-only product for this price. This serum does, however, compare well to pharmacy-brand and high street retinol serums in terms of effective, and is about half the price of most of them. As with any retinol, you would have to use it diligently and for a couple of months before you see noticeable results: retinol and vitamin C aren't really ingredients that work overnight so you'll have to be patient. As you'd expect from the packaging and price, this is a no-frills product. It's not scented or coloured, and it's a very thin, liquid formula - which is actually ideal for absorption but doesn't have the luxurious slippery feel of a beauty counter product. It comes in a plain bottle with a pharmacy dropper and is an unappealing yellowish-grey colour with a slightly medical smell. That said, it disappears very rapidly into the skin which for me makes it perfect for following up with a night cream or facial oil. I have oily-ish skin and have used retinols before, and I've never experienced any irritation from them. I have, however, experienced painful tingling and redness from other products with the same vitamin C content, and yet I got absolutely no irritation from this product. I've been using it every night for a couple of months and I'm impressed with its efficacy. The addition of hyaluronic acid makes it surprisingly plumping and hydrating given that it's not actually marketed as a hydrating product and my fine lines are definitely being kept at bay in the same way that they were by my previous retinols which were double the price. (If it's relevant/useful to know: my night-time skincare routine is hot cloth cleanser, glycolic acid toner and this serum, followed by Clarin's lotus oil for combination skin and in the morning I use a hot-cloth cleanser, a L'Oreal anti-ageing serum without retinol and an Olay Regenerist moisturiser with SPF30. I don't use retinol or glycolic acid during the day and I would swap my day moisturiser for a proper sunscreen in summer - sun protection is advised if you're a retinol user.)

I've been using Retinol for a few years now. It was first used by dermatologists as an acne treatment and they discovered that it erased the lines and wrinkles of their patients too. This was the headline on News at Ten. It's brilliant for breakouts and a clinically proven cosmetic treatment. There is nothing better. This is the best I have found over the years and the best value for money. There have been many times when I've been without it, and I do have some deep marionette lines which are reminders of that, but I am going to make sure that doesn't happen in future. I'm useless with selfies but I have tried to show that I have few fine wrinkles for my age, 70, and that's due to using Retinol I know.

I haven't been using this product quite as religiously as I intended but it seems a good product. The scent is not very pleasant but that is of course down to personal taste. The cream is absorbed nicely into the skin without leaving an oily residue, and leaves the skin feeling soft to the touch. I cannot state that I have seen a significant difference in the appearance of fine wrinkles but there is some improvement in the skin around my lips which appears a little more plumped than usual. I imagine that continued daily use would probably achieve better results than I have seen so far, but I am generally pleased with this product and will purchase it again.

I bought this product to try out. I have ultra sensitive skin which most creams and serums aggravate. I've used it twice only and a couple of people have remarked that my skin is absolutely glowing. One neighbour said "gosh your skin is so flawless, how do you do it ? " I am nearly 62 years old. I have suffered extreme eczema in my life. Nothing is worse than having eczema on your face with people staring. It is totally compatible with my skin which speaks volumes. I am delighted with this product and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I look after my skin and try to keep out of the sun due to photosensitivity, so that must help, but this product gave my skin a real boost overnight. I was quite shocked. My skin does look glowing. I've noticed it myself, after two applications. I rarely write reviews on anything, but in this case felt so strongly that I have. I do wish the product manufacturers would make it in a larger size for economic reasons. I want to use it on my hands too. FIVE STARS

I bought this product as part of a new years resolution to take better care of my skin. I smoke, drink a lot of coffee, rarely get enough sleep or drink enough water and my skin is starting to show the strain. I don't have any wrinkles yet but a few fine lines have appeared and, most importantly, I am blotchy with redness and a few acne scars. I bought this product along with some others and I found it to be easy and light to apply and suitable to put on clean skin before moisturising but I cannot honestly say if it helped. So far I have not found the right combination of products for my specific skin issues but the fine lines have noticeably reduced.

Had a small reaction at the beginning of using this product, some itchiness and pimples appearing, but then my skin got used to it and now it really craves it every night. My skin is extremely soft after I use it and feels fully hydrated. I use it in combination with a delicate skin gel after or night cream. I have never used it during the day as I heard retinol is not recommended to be used with sunlight, and so I use it every night, which works for me perfectly. Would highly recommend.

I'm not going to pretend this has changed my life, (yet), I'll let you know after 6 months. So far I am really enjoying using this, it feels very good on my skin and compared to many retinol products it has not made my skin red and tingly for a couple of hours. I only use it at night and still have a third of a bottle left. (bought 8 weeks ago). I only use it around my eyes and on my neck. Will be ordering again soon as it has been the best I've used so far and at a competitive price. Also the pipette... is that the word? means I can control how much I use.

I have used this retinol serum for 2-3 weeks now. I have very sensitive, combination skin so was very concerned when I first bought it. This is my first retinol product ever. I'm using it in combination with the Bionura Retinol Moisturizer Cream which I bought at the same time. Here is my experience... Pros: - Is easily absorbed into the skin - No residue, no smell - Improved my skin tone (has lightened a few blemishes) in just 2-3 uses! - Cleared my complexion quite quickly - Has made my skin less dry after a few uses (but this could also be due to the other excellent serum I have started using) - Parabens and alcohol- free (Hallelujah!) - Comes in a dark amber coloured bottle with a pipette dispenser (which is my preferred option as it keeps things hygienic and there’s minimal wastage). - Received a nice little email from the Bionura team with tips and advice etc. - Good value-for-money Cons: - At first, it seemed a bit too harsh for my skin (had dry scaly patches after just 2 days of application) so I stopped using it daily. I currently use it twice a week... which means I have to use another serum for the days in between. - Does not include sun protection so I need to slather extra heavy-duty SPF on the next day. - Does not include Vitamin E (so need a separate serum again!) - Haven’t seen any improvements in fine lines and wrinkles so far. (to be fair, it's early days yet) - No indication whether the product can be used in the sensitive under-eye area where one often has crow’s feet and fine lines. Thus, I haven’t used it in the under/around eye area. Might have to look for another eye serum/cream! NOTE: I apply the 2 retinol products one after the other (on my face and neck) ONLY at night since our skin tends to be extremely sensitive to UVA-UVB radiation after the use of Retinol. (Dermatologists recommend not to use over-the-counter retinol/cosmetic products during the day, especially during summer or on sunny days).

Ho una pelle del viso che tende ad essere impura. Ho usato la prima volta questo siero qualche mese fa. La pelle era migliorata e le macchie dovute ai brufoli e alle croste che ho la mania di togliere erano sparite. Finito il primo flacone non l'ho riacquistato subito,pensando il miglioramento fosse dovuto ad altri fattori. Ebbene, la mia pelle è tornata come prima nel giro di un paio di settimane. Per la mia esperienza quindi posso dire che è un ottimo siero. Nota aggiuntiva: dopo aver acquistato il secondo flacone, ho notato una sostanziale differenza nella texture e nel colore del prodotto. Mentre prima era lattiginoso e molto liquido, ora è giallo e più denso. Dopo aver contattato il venditore per chiedere info a riguardo, mi è stato risposto rapidamente ed esaustivamente. Condivido qui la risposta visto che altri hanno notato la differenza: "Abbiamo modificato la formula riducendo l'olio di jojoba e aggiungendo al suo posto dell'olio di cocco. Si tratta di una migliore miscela di oli che dovrebbe fornire un'idratazione più equilibrata. Il cambiamento di colore è dovuto alla riduzione dell'olio di jojoba. L'olio di jojoba conferisce ai sieri un colore bianco perché si dissolve in milioni di minuscole bolle bianche quando viene miscelato nella formula. Quando abbiamo ridotto la concentrazione di olio di jojoba, le bolle che causavano il colore bianco e lattiginoso sono state eliminate. Ora si scopre il vero colore del siero, che è giallo perché il retinolo è un colore giallo brillante."

Deze serum beleeft veel want er zitten ingrediënten in, die bestemd zijn om je huid te verzorgen en te verbeteren. Serum maakt huid zacht en kalm. Wat betreft het verminderen van pigmentvlekken, heb ik dit werk niet geconstateerd. Mogelijk moet ik serum wat langer gebruiken.

I have used the retinol serum now for just over 2 months. The product quickly absorbs without leaving an oily finish like a lot other serums tend to do. I use the bioniva vitamin C serum in the morning with a dermaroller and then this retinol serum at night followed with my night cream. The crows feet around my eyes have diminished significantly, my light forehead wrinkles are basically gone and my sun spots are lighter. I will go through one bottle of this miracle treatment in about 9 weeks and just ordered another!

J'ai attendu un bon moment après mon achat avant de faire une évaluation car les produits de beauté mettent du temps à agir on le sait bien. Je suis une femme d'origine métisse d'age mature et avec une peau du visage sensible. J'aime bien ce produit car la texture du sérum est très légère et il s'étale très facilement. Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'odeur ce qui est pas mal pour moi s'agissant d'un sérum. Après en terme d'efficacité après une utilisation de 2 mois est vraiment très bien. Teint plus lumineux, action nourrissante,, etc...Je recommande ce produit sans hésitation. Une mention spéciale au service marketing de Bionura qui vous accompagne par mail lors de votre achat et vous fournit pleins d'informations pour démarrer avec leur produit. C'est suffisamment rare pour le notifier ici. Bravo à vous et je compte explorer votre catalogue.

Den är bra för att minska porer, men har inte tagit bort pigmentering
