First review I’ve seen that gave a good timeframe for when this product will start to show improvement! I’ve been using this for 5 weeks and all the videos said they saw results in 2-3, but good to know that it took time to work for you too.

Hello this can work for combination skin (oil and dry)?

Hello. Pls how long will a bottle last for if I use a peanut size three days a week

I use differin , can I still use it in my routine on different days ?

Good morning, I’ve been using the same cerave resurfacing retinol for about a week now. I know that irritation like dry skin and redness are expected during the first few weeks. However I also noticed that in the few days I’ve been using it, it made a few of my hyperpigmentation worse. Did this happen to you as well, is this apart of the process ?

Hi can we use it with tranxemic acid and peptide

Thank you very much, I appreciate getting a review from someone with a similar skin tone and probably same climate

Hi! I was about to purchase this exact product, what do you think of the fact that it has dimethicone as third ingredient? Retinol is really far from the first ingredients...

@DrJanet

3 жыл бұрын

Dimethicone is very controversial in skincare. It is a skin conditioner and seals in moisture so people worry that it could clog pores but this is not backed by scientific research. Dimethicone like all skincare ingredients can cause irritation but it’s not a known skin irritant. But if you have reservations you could skip the product. Cos skincare is personalized, if you don’t feel comfortable with the ingredient list it’s fine to not use it. Yes Retinol is not high up in the list but the blend of ingredients is something to consider. Thanks

Yes, but on alternate nights as Dr. Janet said. You want to avoid using alpha hydroxy acids (examples of AHAs include glycolic acids and lactic acids) and beta hydroxy acids (bHAs like salicylic acid) at the same time as retinols so that it doesn’t over dry or irritate your skin

I've been using this serum for 4 months now and I'm seeing important in skin texture and my skin is brighter. I'm hoping to continue to see results. I've been using it everyday for the last 2 months and that's when I've seen the most important, but I only use about a pea size amount because I have fair sensitive skin.

Good to know you have also seen good results with this serum. Since u have sensitive skin you should be fine with sticking with what works for you. For people who are looking for more significant anti-aging benefits tretinoin still gives better results. But it definitely isn’t an ingredient for everyone. You would still see very good results with retinol but at a much slower pace. Thanks
