Product Review: SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 Night Cream
9:00 AMI looked into Retinol. It's a chemical compound that is a form of Vitamin A. It promotes cell growth, which can fade scarring and discoloration, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and clear up acne. I've researched reviews, focusing on people who are very similar to me:18-24 category, combination skin, fair and who are using it to get rid of acne/acne scars. Just as a tip, you should always look for people similar to you, that way you can understand how they reacted to the product. It will give you a more accurate idea of what it would be like using it. Almost everyone raved about the product, a few said that it didn't work much. Given the small amount of people who didn't like it, I decided to invest $43 in this product.
Summary:
+ Very light
- Not effective in treating acne/acne scars
Overall, did not work for me. It seems like I was in the small minority with this one. I might give the 1.0 solution a try because of the higher potency, but I'm not holding my breath.

I always liked SkinCeuticals, so this a really great review for me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review! Good to know..
ReplyDeleteYou point out a really good tip when it comes to reading reviews. It's good to try as best you can to match similarities. And sometimes like in this case, even when you do, your results may be different.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bummer that this didn't work for you. I've heard really good things about it, but I've never tried it myself.
That's a shame it didn't work well for you! I suppose I should start researching wrinkle creams ...
ReplyDeleteLooks like it has potential but if it's not working for you then what a pity. I could try if a free chance comes, though.
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out.
ReplyDeleteWhat has been working very well for me (brightening skin tone, fading acne scars, etc.) is the Snail Bee serum, which you can purchase at Memebox.com :o)

Ohh, I have yet to try something from Memebox! I've had my eye on it for a while. I think this just means I need to pick it up ;)
DeleteGood post :D
