Review: Read this before you start using it!!! - I was introduced to this product by a friend who has similar skin/complexion. She looks fabulous so I decided to give it a whirl. Things you should know: 1. My beauty routine consisted of occasionally washing my face. And by occasional— I mean rarely. 2. I was always fortunate to have ‘good’ skin it didn’t break out or have big pores BUT it was super sensitive. 3. I’m lazy and will not do anything that requires a lot of work. 4. I’m 50. The pictures are in order of progress — blue top was day of first application —the next 3 are from the first 10 days and the last one is as of tonight. With all that said — I was instructed in detail about using the product. 1. Start slow — every other night 2. Keep it away from your eyes. 3. Use sunscreen and be very careful going out in the sun after a treatment. I started slow (2 applications following the instructions) and did not put it ‘near’ my eyes. I stop at my brow and just below my darks circles. It burned my skin off as if I was in Chernobyl when it exploded. It was AWFUL and it took 10 days to heal. (See pics) What I realized was with my sensitive skin I really should have put more time between applications. So once I healed — I then waited 6 days between applications as I had some dryness and a little sensitivity on my cheeks. I’ve been using the product now for a little over 3 weeks only had 4 applications and I’m already seeing marked improvement. My “11s” are much less obvious (see pics). My skin looks brighter and healthier. Lastly it’s a smooth as a baby’s rump — I suspect that has a lot to do with burning off the top 4 layers of skin, but I digress. This product is intense but effective. It will burn if you don’t ease into using it. Also — when they say don’t put it on your eyes — what they mean is anywhere near your eyes. Give a wide birth or else you risk having your face look like mine did. My eyelids were literally burned and I never touched them with the product that’s how strong it is. Now I keep it focused on my cheeks and a very tiny amount on the side of my eye for those dreaded crows feet. Other things of note: this is part of a very simple routine. Morning 1. Wash face 2. Use hyaluronic acid serum 3. Use Vitamin C serum Evening 1. Wash face 2. Use Retinol (slow at first - then work up to the right cadence for you) 3. Use moisturizer I use Beauty Counter products for the serums I use in the morning. I use Verse for my sunscreen and moisturizer. Obviously, PC’s retinol Cerave Moisturizing Face Wash I purchased everything except the Beauty Counter products through desertcart. I love all of the products and will continue using them. Hope this helps you make good decisions.
Review: Worth it - Ok, so to clear up some issues most often mentioned by reviewers. Yes, this product can be completely ineffective, but only if you don't properly clean your face. It literally can't work if there is a layer of something already there. It also doesn't work if you wash your face throughly, wait two hours, and then put it on. It needs to go on a freshly cleansed face. Wash, dry, apply, it's that simple. The second complaint I see is that it burns your under eye area, and this is also correct. The area under your eyes is more sensitive than the rest of your face, the skin is thinner, and chances are pretty good that you will have some type of a reaction. I know because I did too. I used this product three days in the row, and by the end of the third day, the area under my eyes was swollen and sensitive, the skin felt raw, and trying to cover it up with make-up resulted in pain and showing of approximately a dozen more wrinkles than I had in the first place. The day after that, small sections of the skin began to peel. The recover process in all took about three days. I still washed my face regularly, and applied a light layer of bacitracin mixed with A&D ointment under my eyes afterwards. Yesterday was the first day that the skin under my eyes didn't hurt, and it looks WONDERFUL. Some of the older skin had come off, the area under my eyes is actually even with the rest of my skin tone, and now barely has any wrinkles at all. The corners of my eyes where I had also applied the treatment and which went though the same painful process looks the way it did when I was twenty years old. It's absolutely incredible. I mean I've been watching these tiny crow's feet forming for a few years now, and dreading each new one, and they've literally disappeared in a space of a week. I'm now in process of doing another small section of my face, and I'm going to give my under-eye area another week to recover before I treat it again. Is it a painful process? Yes. Will you have a reaction? Probably. Is it worth it? 100% I'm thirty years old, and in the last year or so I've tried many different products. All the women in my family start showing wrinkles early in life (and gray early, but that's a whole other issue) and I've literally tried everything I can think of to slow that process. This is the first product I've tried where I'm actually seeing results, to the point where even my husband was surprised. I'm more than willing to put up with a little bit of discomfort to see real results, and this product definitely delivered.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product! Don’t love the price
*by L***S on May 29, 2025*

PROS: great product! I have large pores, I’m prone to blackheads in my T-zone area, and also have always had horrible redness in my T-zone and within a week of using I noticed a slight difference in the appearance of my pores, my blackheads have gotten a tad better and my redness was almost completely gone. My face looked noticeably brighter and less dull. My husband said my skin was glowing! It’s light on your skin which is great because I have extremely oily skin and most products make me so oily I end up having to wash it off. This however did not which I loved. CONS: The bottle is sooo small. By the time you start noticing a change it’s empty. I realize there is a bigger bottle but I can’t always afford that one as they are quite pricey. Overall, I do really enjoy this product. I had no reaction to it and it was my first time using any kind of retinol. FYI, I did put a light moisturizer on right before I applied to create a barrier for the first week or so, after that I started applying without and had no issues. I will continue to use this product as I am pleased with the results but I will branch out and try similar products that may be less expensive 🙂
