Retinol Moisturizer Cream 2.5% for Face & Eye Area - Anti-Aging Formula with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Green Tea - 1.7 Fl Oz

I’ve used 1% Retinol products for years., with great results. I’m 55 years old and am often mistaken for 30-35; and I was a sun ABUSER; I never used sunscreen till I was 35 years old!! I have mild crow’s feet and shallow smile lines.I switched from Skinmedica Retinol 1% to this product bc of the higher concentration of RETINOL, amount of product and affordability. I also use the RETINOL SERUM 2.5% with the cream.Even though the strength is stronger and I’ve never used a RETINOL SERUM and CREAM together, I have experienced no redness, peeling, dryness nor any sign of irritation on my face, neck, décolletage or arms or hands. . I feel this is amazing because I have rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. My face is smooth and glows.I’ve never used any RETINOL product on my legs and knees. Even though I’m very athletic and have muscular legs, skin is skin and I recently noticed the DREADED saggy skin around my knees.YUCK!!!! Unfortunately, with age comes a decrease in collagen (and no sunscreen for 35 years, doesn’t help!!). To help this NASTY “ showing my age” area LOL, I’ve started to apply the RETINOL SERUM AND CREAM. Within a week I noticed a HUGE difference in skin firmness around my knees (YAY!!) and legs. Because this is a virgin area to RETINOL, there has been a great amount of peeling. THATS OKAY- it’s my knees, not my face. After 3 days of peeling, there is much less flaking. I had thick scars from a bad fall while training for a marathon. These scars are about 50% less noticeable after a week. Sounds weird, but my knees and legs have a glow to them!!!This is a VERY SMOOTH, moisturizer with absolutely no odor. My upper body does not need any extra moisturizer, even with this strength of RETINOL. My knees, because it’s a strong level to start with and applied to an area never exposed to RETINOL does require a little extra cream an hour after I apply the RETINOL.For best results, use in conjunction with the RETINOL SERUM.

I neglected to add a comment about the Miracle Plus -2.5% Retinol cream Jar that I received. I noticed after removing the plastic cover that there was another white cover with a hole in the center of it covering the moisturizer Cream is there a reason it's in the middle of the cover? I thought maybe a small brush to use to apply the cream was missing. I applied the cream with my fingers. I am a new comer to using this product so I can't comment yet on it's effects on my skin yet.

Finally decided on this face cream after my other one on Amazon was unavailable. I was pretty bummed, because the one I was using was so good for a great price (it had retinol too). I have been using this one for 2 weeks now, and I loved it from the first touch. So moisturizing for a 65 year old face in a dry climate. TOTALLY ♥ LOVE ♥ this stuff already! Similar to a very pricy moisturizer I use (but can't afford to use it everyday). With the quick and easy pop off lid and pump, I can get to it fast. And with the very nice price, I can freely pump and apply liberly on my skin. (good moisturizer for me means less and softer wrinkles). Thank you so much Essence of Abcadia for making a high quality product for a very nice price! (I did not receive any free product for this review. I am just a very excited paying customer).

The product seems to absorbe to skin quickly and is not too thick. The pump is a nice feature. However, after about a month and a half of using it, the product has run out. Mind you, I thought it was a full jar. To my surprise it has a false bottom. The inside has a very shallow depth, not even half or near the full size of the jar. I had been using the product twice a day thinking I had a substantial amount. I’m very dissapointed because when I would unscrew the jar I would see the cream close to the top and assume that it had a long way to go. Also, no notable changes to skin yet.

This is a great product worked as it should. See amazing results. Bought many times and will continue to buy more.

Love this cream, my husband and I use it every day with great results!

Very nice cream and rubs in easily. I like the sell also.

I'm actually a young wrinkler.....28 and I have several wrinkles in my forehead. So, I wanted to get a jump start on fixing this problem. There are so many options for wrinkle cream and it was so stressful finding the one. I just came across this on Amazon and though I would give it a try. It is not expensive compared to some and it had great reviews. Well just color me impressed. I have been using this for about a month now and wow, I have really noticed a difference! I know I just started but to notice a difference in that little ugly line on my face is great! So happy with this purchase and will continue to use.
