TruSkin Retinol Serum for Face with Hyaluronic Acid & Cica, 1 fl oz

This brand and the serums they produce are of tremendous quality particularly for the price. Some of those super expensive fancy ones with brand names are not nearly as effective in my opinion and I have bought many of them. This particular variety is excellent. I actually put it on my neck, my hands, and just certain parts of my face with the fine lines that retinol seems to be helpful with. I can’t tell you how much better the pores look on my neck, and the fine lines on my hands and eyes have definitely been reduced. This is a great product of very easy to apply it certainly brightens my skin amazing quality for the price!

I called myself the "1%er" because every time I tried a new product, I was always the 1 out of 100 ("99% of women reported younger looking skin") that didn't see any noticeable differences. How can 96, 98, or even 99 out of 100 woman always see “younger looking skin” or a “noticeable difference in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles?” Were the testimonials real? Why am I always the one that doesn’t? I’ve tried drugstore variety products, and the more the expensive products. I’ve listened to the pitch women on TV (that, by the way, were naturally blessed with beautiful skin, and/or have the resources for plastic surgeons, dermatologists at their beck and call, and also in home salon care.) Did I try some? Yup. Did they do anything more than empty my wallet? Nope. I ran across TruSkin on the Amazon site. I went right to the reviews, and I was impressed with what I read. I always try to review the products that I buy, not only for the sellers benefit (be it good – or not so good) but for other folks that take the time to also write them, because I know, like me, they depend on the experiences of others to help them make their buying decisions. Word of mouth, if you will, is the most helpful to me. So, the product. I tried Retinol 2.5% E & Hyaluronic Acid serum. I crossed my fingers when it arrived, always hoping that this will be the one works. Well, guess what? I have to say that I do see improvement. My skin is brighter, and the wrinkles don't look as bad. I'm in my 50's; I've suffered from acne my entire life so between that and wrinkles it's rather depressing! I’ve been using now for a few weeks, and the fine lines, and even deeper wrinkles look a lot better! My skin tone has improved. I only wish that I would have taken before and after pictures. This is the first time that I have ever written a review for an anti-aging product because I really thought it was me, I was that one person that nothing worked for. I use it at bedtime, and then again as soon as I get out the shower in the morning. I like it enough that I am on Amazon right now getting ready to try another product, BEST Eye Gel for Wrinkles, Fine Lines…” to add to my routine, as soon as I finish this review. Last, and so very important, is the customer service factor. I received an email from the seller that included a pamphlet on how to use the product. And while it did show their other products, which I appreciated, there was no hard selling asking to buy anything– it was a sincere interest in how I liked the product, what I didn’t like, etc. That to me is real customer service, and one of the reasons that will keep me as a customer. A former 1%er!!

I use it every night. I do see a difference

I have normal skin. And I always thought that I don't need any extra effort to take care of my skin. This theory of mine was debunked once I started to get fine lines after my 30th birthday. Somebody suggested me to use retinol. I did a lot of research on how retinol works. And came to the conclusion that retinol actually helps to fight skin problems like wrinkled skin, acne, acne marks, and dull and uneven skin. Technically, it helps to unclog the skin pores, increase collagen production, exfoliates old layer of skin, and makes it a fresher and plump appearence. ********** True Skin Retinol This is a perfect retinol if you are using retinol for the first time. You can also get product called "retinoid" which is more concentrated than retinol. Dermatologist recommends to use" retinol" not "retinoid" [ again if you are just the beginner]. ********** RESULTS Believe me this starts to work right after the night you apply but it might take several weeks to see an improvement in the looks and feel of your skin. This is my fifth week of using this product. I can already see and feel the differences in my skin texture. The pores are so tight. Skin is getting softer and bright. People around me have started to pass good comments on my skin appearance. I regret that I did not use this product in my 20's. Why nobody told me how important is retinol for our skin? ******** Again, dont expect to see the results over the night. This is slow process. At least wait for 3 weeks to see the improvement. ******* In the beginning, my skin looked worst after applying retinol, it was dry and flaky. I was worried and almost decided to quit. But again, I did some research and found out that it is normal. It takes some time for your skin to get adjusted. Once it gets adjusted you will be on the wheels of perfect skin. 1) How frequently I used it? Every other night after cleansing 2) How much? Apply a pea size, rub it gently all over your face and neck 3) Can I mix it with other products? Don't mix it with Vitamin C. You can mix it with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. But True Skin Retinol has both of these good stuff. 4) What should I apply after using this? Strictly apply good amount of moisturizer after retinol Just don't wait and go for it. I will update here if I see any changes.

Good product at a good price

I've only used it a couple of times a week and I've only had it approximately two week. Love how the product absorbs so well into my skin! I don't see instant results nor did I expect to. I'm going to continue using as directed and I expect to see results in the next few weeks..

I've been using a $49 bottle of retinol serum and found this to be just as effective and at a much lower cost. I could tell a difference in my skin in approximately 4-5 days. I can't smell any scents or fragrances and that's a plus for me. I thought it would stay greasy on my face, but it dried within 1-2 minutes. I'll definitely order again.

This product should clearly indicate the percentage of retinol on the bottle. I believe it’s 2.5% based on some websites. However, apart from that, it’s the only product that has effectively improved my hormonal acne issues at the age of 37. But remember, this might not be suitable for everyone and all types of acne. So, it’s always a good idea to consult with your dermatologist first. I’ve tried many acne treatments before, but then I decided to revert to my old product, and it’s been fantastic. I noticed the improvement after just the first use. Today, on the fourth day, and many of these have gone. Thanks!

It’s ok but must have a lower percentage of retinol than other brands as it has had no effect.

This product looks fake, arrived without proper packaging and liquid inside looks different from the original product

Dropper lid has broken somehow. This must be the weakest plastic lid ever, it hasn't been dropped or knocked over. It doesn't create a vaccuum properly now in the dropper.

My skin gets worse after using retinol serum.
