LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Moisturizer 1.7 Oz

I don't know what is behind this magical thing?? it really works.

A bottle goes a long way! This is my 2nd bottle and loving it

This is first time ever, I am going to write the review about any product. I purchased first time Retional, almost 20 ago from Amazon. The best way to see result to give time to product to let it work. I am 32 years old and have a Brown complexion when I applied this cream , I was accepting tingles because of acne but nothing, no breakouts nor redness next morning I used this cream only in night after cleansing and toner and good to go. I don't feel to use separate mositurizing cream. One pump is enough for me. My pigmentation and ance scars are little lighten. I will give time to this product to work for me as I don't use it every night. I'm interested in long term result rather than instant result.

Lovd it for night

Excellent

Feels good on skin. Has a medium-light texture. Absorbs fast. But I don't see any improvements. Might be too weak for me since many years ago I used prescription retinol for treating my acne.

I received the cream without any seal or it's original box. It was in am ordinary box. doubt if it is original or not. I have started using it but I don't know whether it is going to work or not.

I have seen this product in you tube and decided to try it. I have seen results in just a week. My skin started to look firm. I liked it bec I can use it as an eye cream as well. My rough skin started to look smooth. Fines lines faded and pimple marks too. I must say that it does not solved my dry skin issue but I'm satisfied with this product.

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.

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.
