Brilliant product! I have dry, sensitive skin, which is very sensitive to retinol products. I usually find them way too drying, and they make my skin very sensitive to the sun. I live in...

Packaging is quite good. Very compact and travel friendly. Consistency is quite thick and dark yellowish, quite oily on the face. So it is quite alright for my dry winter skin. One pump is good...

This is a nice serum, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it made to my skin. In fairness, it's meant to be for wrinkles, and I don't have many wrinkles yet. But I was hoping it would help...

I love this. If I could, I would bathe in it, but the finish is too oily for that, and that would be hella expensive. I got a few samples of this and since I use a retinoid every other day for...

NOT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES like the say. I would say its not for combination to oily skin. Its extremely greasy. Caused me break outs. But probably a good option for normal to dry. They should change...

This is food for my skin! Fells a little oily at the beggining, but it blends in really nice and usually I don't feel the need for moisturiser on top. Light and nourishing at the same time. I...

I've tried this a couple of times and it doesn't work for me. The texture - it's incredibly greasy. My skin felt suffocated. Definitely order a sample first.

This is not meant for people with oily skin. This serum is in a silicone base that leaves a greasy film on the skin and will cause breakouts. I much prefer and like Paula's Choice 1% retinol lotion...

This product is terrible. First of all the packaging is awful. Every time I use it, I inevitably end up having to fiddle with it for a bit and I can never press the pump all the way down. It makes...

This product is not for all skin types, it should be for dry skin. It could break a lot of people out, as it has Cyclopentasiloxane, silicones and a palm oil (that part worried me but it's low in...
