Tree of Life - Retinol Moisturizer for face - Face Cream - 1.7 Fl Oz

Goodness, what to say. I have very sensitive skin, and many products make my skin red and angry, or make me break out. I have a very sensitive nose, and most skin care products make me ill due to fragrances, even 'fragrance free' products. This moisturizer makes my skin soft and supple without irritating it, and extremely mild scent it has (just from the ingredients) goes away within ten minutes of spreading it on my skin (and my partner can't smell it at all - just my sensitive nose). I haven't gotten any directly in my eye, but most products even near my eye will make my eyes sting, and I haven't noticed that so far. I would say that this seems to be healing my skin, but I do use a different moisturizer in the morning, to avoid deactivating the retinol. This moisturizer is very light and absorbs quickly, and I like to have a bit of a protective barrier during the day if I'm not wearing sunscreen, keep my skin dewy. :) I will come back to this review in a month or two, see how it treats my skin over time, as retinol is definitely something that takes time to work. I'm fairly certain the skin around my eyes is already improved, less delicate and sunken, but it's only been a few days. I am 27, so barely seeing the signs of aging, but I'm happy to be starting early with giving my skin what it needs to be healthy and beautiful. I didn't have any trouble with the pump, and I like that I can dispense a very small amount at a time. The bottle is very pleasing to hold, and a good shape.

So so so so good. It is the best moisturizer I have ever used. Mind blown. It feels so nice in my skin. And I can't believe how affordable it is! Great price And great quality!

I really would like to know how much retinol is actually is in this formulation. I have sensitive skin and have had no problems with this moisturizer. It goes on thinly and it's a nice enough moisturizer, but after well over a month of use, I have seen no change in the appearance of my skin. If you have dry skin, I don't think you will find this moisturizing enough. If you prefer a lighter moisturizer, then this is a good choice. If you really want an antiaging product, then I'd try one that states at least 1% retinol and work your way up to daily use. How fast you can start using a 1% formulation daily entirely depends on your skin type. I have a tube of 1% retinol that I started using a while ago starting with just my forehead. I found it a bit drying (flakiness) at first, but persisted, and now I can use it daily with no problem. I am also starting to notice positive changes in some fine lines that have become shallower in less than a month. My skin is smoother and more even too. I may have a way to go, but I'm a determined gal-good luck Update:7/1/15-Despite my wondering if this Retinol Cream had enough of a percentage of Retinol in it, I have continued to use it. I even bought my second bottle a while back. I have discovered over time that it seems to be working. I don't think I gave it enough time to do its thing since it is a milder form of retinol. What I did find out was that in my using a 1% retinol on certain areas of my face (forehead, between the eyes) last winter, that I was having an increased problem with dryness and flakiness in those areas. So now I am only using the Tree of Life Retinol Moisturizer and finding that my face is showing improvement (except when I do have a Rosacea flare, I don't use it then). I'm seeing some decreases in fine lines on my forehead, between my eyes, and on my upper lip and upper chin areas. I'm still not seeing any changes in the marionette lines. I especially like using it on my neck & chest area as my only moisturizer. I do use an additional moisturizer on my cheeks & temples where my skin is very dry. In my t-zone this moisturizer is sufficient in the summer months. It has a nice consistency--smooth, very spreadable, soft feeling. And my favorite fact about it is that there are no silicones at all (such as dimethicone) in it which tend to cause me plugged up pores. It's also loaded with other great ingredients for the face too such as aloe and hyaluronic acid (holds 1000X it's weight in water thus keeping the face plumped up and moist). Yes, my opinion has changed for the better, so IMO it is better to watch your progress over a longer period of time than 1 month to really see results.

I've been using this for years. I love the way my skin reacts to it. Very good product.

I have been using the serums for about 3 years and have great results so when I saw the moisturizer I thought let me try it. The product itself is nice, non greasy and applies smoothly. However, I received a faulty bottle, the pump doesn’t work so I had to unscrew to use it which was a minor inconvenience. The worst part was my bottle was also not full, after 3 weeks of use it’s empty!

I really do love these products in the short amount of time I've been using them. The serums are my favorite. And I'm excited to try the Scar Cream on my acne scars on my face and I want to see if it works for my strech marks on my belly from my prenancies. I started using all of these products on my belly a couple of days ago to see if they help reduce the appearance of my stretch marks and help the sagging belly skin from my pregnancies as well. I also love how these help keep my skin clearer from acne and blackheads, my pores are starting to look smaller, my skin isn't as oily and my dark spots are fading. I can almost go out without any face powder cover up now. My skin is looking more even and my deep forehead lines seem to be getting less noticable. Best skin care I've ever used so far, and I've used a lot! Plus, I LOVE the price of these, especially when there are these kinds of discounts and discounts for buying multiple products, since I always buy in bulk! I have always had acne prone skin that has a lot of texture and that gets super oily. I took accutane as a teenager but I still get hormonal acne and I'll be 40 next year! I started getting age spots as well and deep wrinkels in my forehead (expression lines) that I wasn't too happy about on top of the acne. This whole skin care line is so great and makes my skin look and feel amazing! I LOVE it and am so glad I found it!

First let me say that I've been using retinol products for about a year so I'm not completely new to them. Before that I'd been using AHAs. I use both in my skincare regimen so I have to take care that the products I use are not incompatible or too harsh, yet still make a difference. This is my first time using ToLs retinol moisturizer. It's gentle on my skin but makes a nice difference. My skin is smooth in texture and nicely toned. I use this every night and it hasn't been too harsh. If you're new to any anti-aging products, always take care and go easy at first because they can come in like a lamb (don't sting when applied, no immediate reaction to it, etc) but they can go out like a lion (breakouts, redness, making skin sensitive, etc). As someone accustomed to retinols, AHAs, vitamin C serums, etc, this slipped into my routine effortlessly. Only one "purge" pimple on my chin but my skin was great otherwise. I'm going to stick with this because it's powerful enough to work but not so strong to cause ill effects. Also, I waited to leave a review until I'd been using this for a few weeks so I could give feedback with some more experience behind it. I've used harsher retinol products before but they left my skin too sensitive. With this, so far so good and I can happily recommend this.

This is the third time I've ordered from Tree of Life skincare. The products are reasonably priced and effective. The texture is light and silky. The scent is also light and pleasant. I have sensitivities to most products and I have found I can use these with no problems. I live in a hot, humid climate and the products are light enough not to feel greasy even in the humidity. I am a loyal user of tree of life. I have the retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin c serums, plus the bright eye gel and moisturizing cream. I'm very happy with these products.

First of all, I love how this product is so inexpensive and affordable unlike other brands. And for 2% of retinol!!! I think that’s amazing for the price. I already see a bit of change in my skin, and I’ve only been using this product for 2 nights. I 100% recommended and I will definitely be repurchasing when I finish the cream.

The moisturizer is very light on my face not heavy and not greasy. It minimizes the lines on my forehead. This is already my second in buying the moisturizer. Im totally satisfied with the result.

Initially I thought the cream will be too thick for my oily skin but I was surprised the cream gets absorbed into my skin easily. It has a mild peppermint smell ( smell a little like toothpaste ) but I like it. For those who do not like the smell, not to worry coz the peppermint smell dissipates after a while. My face feels hydrated and non greasy. One or two pump are enough, a little goes a Long way. I also put it spread it under and around my eyes. I just got the package today and this is my first try but I am impressed. I will add another review maybe after a week to see how it goes.

Its been just 3 days, and it has been good so far. I'll post the results in 4 weeks as an update. Good price for the product.

My skin is glowing I like it its moisturize the skin
