ISDINIsdinceutics Retinal Advanced - Rejuvenating Facial Night Serum with Retinaldehyde and Melatonin 1.7 FL OZ (50 ml)

I’ve never used retinal/retinol etc, so using this product is my very first attempt. I am 40+, fair skin, sensitive skin, dry skin, med/large pores, still prone to hormonal breakouts, some sun damage freckling, pretty deep 11s, and very minor wrinkles anywhere else.I started using this right around 2/1/24. It’s now 2 months of almost nightly use since (I’ve skipped a couple nights here or there just from schedule issues). I do use a full 2 pumps each time, every night, and I run the excess down my neck and upper chest to help with signs of aging there.I thought FOR SURE I would have bad peeling, redness, etc because I have sensitive skin and usually EVERYTHING makes me red or break out. But this hansy been bad at all! I started to think that might mean it’s a dud product, but I have been going thru “purge” for about 3-4 weeks. Not constant, but a couple of rounds of very agitated pimples. Moreso than I usually get, and I am used to have them every month with my cycle. So that makes me feel like it’s doing SOMETHING! I think I may be on the downward slope of the purge…. Hopefully.How does my skin feel or look? Well, it actually does feel more hydrated and softer than ever. I love that! It looks slightly more even tone (between the breakout areas when I’m having pimples and generally all over when I’m not having a breakout.) I also feel like I’m seeing a little more radiance or glow. Nothing miraculous, but just a little more shine and luster. I have not noticed a reduction in my deep 11s or my 2 very fine forehead lines.So far I’m happy. It’s such an expensive product I hate that you have to spend so much to find out if it works, but I feel like the signs I’m seeing now support continued use and expense. At 2 months, it looks to me like I might have 1 month of product left in the jar. For the price I paid, if it lasts 3 months, that’s about $62 a month ($744 a year!). I’ve never had an rx from a derm, so I’m not sure how that compares to prescription and office visit costs.I’m going to continue trying this for the full year. If I feel confident that I’m seeing results, I’ll do a cost comparison of actually getting on and maintaining a retinoid rx or just continuing this product.Will update!

Thus serum is such a nice addition to my nighttime routine. It smells wonderful and my skin feels so soft and hydrated afterwards. I apply it at night after washing my face - follow the instructions by pumping twice and pushing the pump all the way down so you get both components of the serum. I apply my night cream after the serum to seal it in.

I use retinal and I’m tired of the occasional peeling or irritation. This product is great, my skin in smoother in just two weeks of use, no irritation, absorbs quickly and leaves your skin soft! Ordering a back up …my new HG and go too…perfection and lastly my husband said my skin looked great (I had no make up on) a few days ago! Worth the price and now I’m going to try the sunscreen! This product checks all the boxes! Amazing

I love the way it makes my skin feel. It’s so soft feeling after you apply to your face. Doesn’t leave skin feeling greasy. Love it!

Seems like very high quality.

Love this product. Thanks to Black Friday discount, I was able to afford it a second time.

Es regular para ser tan caro no funciona como tal
