LilyAna Naturals Anti Aging Retinol Face Cream for Women – Wrinkle & Neck Cream for Firming, Retinol Moisturizer for Face with Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrating Night Cream for Fine Lines, Collagen Boost

This is the best facial cream I have tried. It takes a very small amount, glides on smoothly, and leaves no grease or residue. My skin has improved its appearance in just a few days. The fine line wrinkles are smoothing, and my pores are reduced in size. My pores are no longer getting clogged, just soft and smooth skin. My cheeks no longer wrinkle when I smile! After trying multiple lotions with various failures from oily skin to clogged pores, I have finally found the solution to nice skin with this cream. There was no burning or redness as many retinol creams can cause, and I was able to apply this twice daily immediately. I love this cream and just ordered more!

As an esthetician for over 13 years now, this product is phenomenal. It helps to smooth the skin, tighten pores, balance skin (great for all skin types even sensitive), doesn’t leave me dry and flaking and I use it daily once a day. I do not recommend going right up to the eye with it and recommend ordering the eye creams in this line for that area instead as the eyelid and skin in that area is the most thin on the face and delicate. I am 41 now and this product most definitely for the cost is amazing!! I did order the two pack to save the coupon on the first order and I am glad that I did. I ended up gifting one to a friend after seeing how well it works. I feel much younger looking when I use this product and it helps to shrink and tighten pores. It also makes expression lines less visible. Since there is retinol as with every retinol product I do not recommend before being in outside heavy sun exposure or tanning and after applying if you are out in sun make sure to layer with a good quality SPF on top. I give this product definitely a 5 stars and I have used several expensive brands in the skincare industry for the last decade in this career field. Hurry and order yours!! It would make for an excellent Christmas/birthday gift as well!! For me, one to two pumps does the face and neck well and you just need to slowly massage it into the skin and wash your hands.

Let me start by saying this is a great product, Ive been using it now for almost a month and it does work very well. That being said, I was previously using Cetaphil 24h deep hydration serum and did not see any difference in the two aside from price. My recommendation, if you want to save some money, is to buy the Cetaphil instead. This product seems a bit thicker and does feel nice on the skin, it’s just very pricey at $30+ a tube. cetaphil goes on thinner, also absorbs better, but feels just as smooth for almost half the price. The only other difference I can see is that this product has retinol in it, which I haven’t seen much of a difference with using. Hyaluronic acid seems to do the trick for me for aging and hyper-pigmentation. I still have some left, so maybe once I finish the tube I can edit my review, but so far that is my opinion. I just wanted to see if there was something out there that might work even better long term, I just haven’t found it as of yet.

I've been using this cream as part of my own Korean inspired skincare regimen, for about 10 days, and I like what I'm seeing. It has improved the texture of my skin tremendously and helped with the blotchiness. I've been getting compliments. I only use this product at night. I make sure to wear sunscreen during the day as retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. My skin is sensitive so it responds to creams and moisturizers by immediately turning red. I struggle with both dry and oily skin. I get flakes in the creases of my nostrils and under my eyebrows while being very shiny on my forehead, nose, and chin. I recently came into possession of a magnifying mirror and was horrified by what I saw. I had just come off a cheese-eating jag that week and my pores were clogged with puss, my skin was red and the texture was rough. I definitely wasn't washing my face every night. I would often sleep in my make-up and sunscreen. I was using serums from time to time but they weren't helping. After resolving to get serious about having better skin, I decided to follow the Korean skincare routine. I did my research, decided 9 steps was for crazy people and settled on the following Nightime routine: 1) Remove make-up with oil. I made my own by mixing coconut oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil from my own cabinets - I love it!!! I massage the oil into my skin and use a warm washcloth to help melt and remove makeup. 2) I use a foaming face cleanser (Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash) as the second part of a two-part cleansing method made famous by the Korean skincare craze. 3) Toner. This can be one of several I have. A Rosewater spray. Witchhazel. Pixi Glow Toner w/ glycolic acid. Either way, I finish with a water spray before applying the creams. It calms my skin and adds moisture back to my face. 4) LilyAna Retinol Cream on my face, neck, and chest. 5) LilyAna Vitamin C Serum. This one stings a little if I've overly scrubbed my face with the washcloth. 6) Just a dab of Evanhealy Rose Vetiver Day Cream. This one is $50 but it's the only moisturizer that doesn't turn my face bright red. In fact, It doesn't turn my face red at all. I always come back to it because it works. My goals were to correct the texture of my skin, the redness of my skin, and keep it clean. I attribute the Retinol Cream with improving the texture of my skin and decreasing the appearance of my pores.

Positive thing, I’m not allergic to it!! Con, I haven’t seen any difference at all.

I wished there was a way to give this product 10 stars. Let me first say I'm a VERY picky retinol user. I usually use a high end organic product (aka: Origins) but thought I'd give this one a whirl given the reviews. I'm a tried and proven convert now. I LOVE this product. It is so luxurious, never causes burning, peeling or redness. Truthfully, I think this is best retinol cream I've ever used and that's just how it FEELS on my skin. Let's talk results. Usually most ads state something like "95% of users noticed improvement with wrinkles in 7 days" or something along that line. I often have wondered, who are the respondents to those trials? Have they ever used ANY product before? (Many women consistently don't even use a face cream yet or have an established habit of moisturizing their skin.) If not, of course they'd see incredible results! I've been taking care of my skin with a normal regimen since my teens. (Thanks Mom!) That said, my skin is pretty acclimated at this point to moisturizers and anti-wrinkle creams. In short, it's hard to dramatically improve beyond what I currently use, which are stellar (but pricey) products. This product changed the playing field. With one use, I could tell this was different. I'm addicted now and have a hard time finishing up my other products! People at work ask me what I'm doing to my skin. They tell me how super soft, supple and radiant my skin looks. I thought it was just me that noticed but others have too. I don't want to waste any other existing product so I'm going to still use that up first before ordering more, but once it's gone, I'll be ordering this full time from now on. I'm also going to try out their other products as well.

I'm in my early 30's and starting to be concerned about wrinkles around my eyes, especially underneath my eyes. I guess I've been squinting so much (I need reading glasses) the past couple years, that I have some permanent wrinkles even when I relax my eyes. The skin below my eyes is also starting to look really dry, even though the rest of my face is really oily and acne prone. So I did some research online and it looked like I needed to try some retinol cream. I also have some hormonal acne on my jawline that has shown up over the past several months due to a change in birth control, so I constantly have light brown spots from where the acne is healing, that take forever to fade away ("Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation"). I was hoping the retinol would help those brown spots fade faster, by increasing cell turnover. I searched on Amazon and came upon this brand of retinol cream and decided to try it. I love the retro design of the label by the way. I've been using it for a week now, and I'm really pleased with it. I just jumped right in and started using it morning and night because my skin is NOT sensitive and I already use salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide regularly, so I knew this stuff probably wasn't going to "burn" my skin. It didn't even tingle. I wash my face like normal (sometimes I still exfoliate with apricot scrub if my skin feels grimy with lots of oil and makeup), then I use the retinol cream all over my face (including eyelids and lips), neck, and chest. After it dries for a few minutes, in the morning I use Neutrogena Naturals Brightening Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 1.7 oz . By the second day the skin on my neck and chest was amazingly smooth and silky - I hadn't even realized that I needed help in those areas. I think my skin in general just has particularly slow skin-cell turnover because I tend to have thick dry skin and could exfoliate with the harshest apricot scrub and never have any problems from it. By day 2 or 3 I noticed the skin around my eyes was smoother and not as dry looking and my whole face looked shinier and smoother like I had exfoliated and used salicylic acid. By the way, at first I stopped using my acne creams/gels because I wanted to see how the retinol cream worked on its own. It did improve the jawline acne marks/pigmentation. After a few days I had to use my acne products again because I had a few zits that I wanted to get under control. I searched online to see if it was safe to use them all together, and some websites say not to because it can be too irritating, but like I said before, I have tough skin. So at night, after washing my face and putting the retinol cream on, I dabbed some salicylic acid gel on my zits overnight and I had no adverse effects. The next night I needed something stronger for the zits, so after I put the retinol cream all over, I dabbed benzoyl peroxide on my zits. I must have gotten some benzoyl peroxide on my neck, because it started to burn and I had to rinse my neck off. I guess my tough skin draws the line at retinol and benzoyl peroxide when it's on thin delicate skin, like the neck. But my face was fine, so I will continue to use those products together when needed. The thing that I like most about retinol cream, is that I can use it on my eyelids. Whenever I used salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acid, I had to be very careful to avoid the skin around my eyes or I'd wake up with red, swollen, "burned" skin (same with benzoyl peroxide). Those products made the rest of the skin on my face look smooth and youthful, but my poor eye area was getting all dried out and wrinkled. I had tried a couple different eye creams without much success over the past year (Oil of Olay, and L'oreal). So, I'm glad I found this product, and I'm going to keep using it and see how it continues to work around my eyes. I mostly just use it on my face and neck now because I don't want to waste it. If my chest starts to look dull, I will just use it for a day or two to make it looks smooth again.

This product is amazing. It’s like a miracle elixir. Softened skin, smaller pores, finer lines in just a week. Truly amazing!!!! So happy I found this.

Lovd it for night

Good product, has no fragrance and not tacky. Smooth on skin. Need to use for few more months to see if it does the job

I love this product! I had been looking to get into a retinol for a while, I did a lot of research and tried a few different ones to ease my skin into it. As anyone who knows retinol would know, it can be quite aggressive for first time users. So I decided to give this one a try after I saw a dermatologist review it. I have had no luck with other retinols even after months of slowly working up to using them regularly my skin just would not take to them and the pimples continued and my skin looked worse then when I started. So I bought this one, I have been using for 2 months now and I absolutely love it! I worked up slowly again to using it daily just in case it caused my skin to flake or purge. But I had none of those issues with this. My skin never peeled and I had the odd purging pimple at the start but that was it. It has completely transformed my skin, it looks "airbrushed" almost. It has a kind of blurring affect, it makes my skin tone so even and I have no texture at all. I hardly ever get pimples now and if I do get the odd one, I put this on over night and it completely vanishes the next morning. I have also noticed is diminishes fine lines, scaring and any sun damage it seems to help with everything. I now use it as part of my night time routine, before moisturiser I pump out about the size of a bean and rub it into my hands then smear it all over my face and neck. It feels so luxurious going on, it glides around so nicely and just feels great. I could rub it in all day. I then pat down any excess and let it soak in. It leaves my skin looking nice and dewy afterwards as well. There is no scent, that's why I gave it no stars for scent, but I think that makes it perfect for people who are sensitive to fragrances in products. In terms of value, it's definitely not the cheapest retinol but it's also not the most expensive. The bottle seems to give you plenty of product and you don't need much to cover your whole face/neck so I think it will last me a while. And for the ingredients as well, it's really hard to find a retinol that has nearly the same strength as prescription retinol with hydrating and calming ingredients like Hydroluronic Acid. So I really think its a win win. I am definitely going to be re-purchasing this again. I am sold. I'd recommended it to everyone! So definitely give it a try!

Me gustó muchooo el producto, pero aclaro que llevo usando 2 años el retinol en concentraciones más bajas, por lo que mi piel está acostumbrada; así que para las personas que es su primera experiencia con el retinol sugiero que investiguen como empezar a usarlo y no desistir, tengo 40 años y mi.piel aún se ve joven. Llegó muy rápido el producto. Gracias

My first time using a retinol cream. I actually noticed a big difference within a week or two of using it. I'm in my thirties and it helped with kinda bumpy acne on my forehead, and I feel like just made my skin smoother and pores look a lil smaller. It's very gentle and didn't irritate my skin ever, even in the beginning. The smell is very slight (just smells like how "non-scented" things smell). Great beginner foray into the world of retinol.
