I like this product a lot. I don't have any wrinkles but I guess at 25 I do have fine lines hanging around that I pretend don't exist. Anyway, I got this as gratis through my job and really liked it. A lot of the products I have recieved over the years I had no interest in purchasing on my own. They either felt too rich, or gave me clogged pores. I actually felt like this gave me just the right amount of moisture and I guess has an anti-wrinkle benefit as well. I can't tell you if this actually has some magical wrinkle reverse affect but I can say it does not break me out and I really enjoyed the texture. Products like Olay regenerist, proX, and that Garnier serum + moisturizer felt gross and left my forehead very clogged up.

I can't remember why I decided on this anti-aging product when I was already so happy with my Nivea Q10 night cream and Ponds Day White day cream, but I am incredibly happy I did! I am using both the day and the night cream.

While on my previous regime I felt moisturised, and it didn't break me out, after starting postgrad studies I started looking really sallow from exhaustion and lack of sleep. I switched to this on a whim and my skin has improved. I was told my skin was glowing after two days of use! I broke out with a huge huge pimple on the second day, but I was persistent and continued to use the creams while it cleared up, and my skin has been looking fresh and bright ever since. The texture of my skin is also much smoother and applying make-up actually makes my face look flat.

If I have any gripes they are superficial - the packaging isn't exactly pretty, but it is quite practical I suppose. Someone on here mentioned they found their face a bit oily with use, which I did notice, but it was negligible in my case (in any case, isn't a little oiliness good for the skin?). For me, I felt it moisturised well, and because I have normal skin, I think it will translate well over the different seasons with careful and measured use. Another reviewer mentioned how the day cream felt like an ointment. The consistency is a bit weird, thick, and gluggy, but it works, and I won't judge the product based on this alone. Price-wise, it was $30AUD each in Priceline, which I felt was a fair price. Not expensive, but still effective. Finally, I think my face is now a bit more pale than the rest of my body, which is still tan from Summer, due to the skin cell turnover. I'm sure it'll even out over Winter, but I wonder if my skin will stay even all over when Summer comes around again?

I am really happy with this product and will repurchase.

My mom didn't like this product, so she handed it to me. I actually liked the moisture and how it feels like it just sinks into your skin. However, I wore this for one day and it broke me out with multiple whiteheads :( I don't have sensitive skin, but many Neutrogena and some MAC products break me out.

On the fence about this product, leaning south. I was looking for a decently priced daytime moisturizer and this one seemed to have good ratings, with some anti-aging ingredients thrown in. The first strike against it is its consistency, which is kind of ointment-y and off-putting. If I don't enjoy using it, I'm not going to use it, so that's a problem. The other downside is that, of course, it doesn't do squat for the wrinkles (I didn't really expect it to, so that's not really fair, but still...). Luckily, it's a small tube, so I'll just use it up and move on to something else. UPDATE: I've learned to love this moisturizer. It might even make it up to five lippies one of these days...

This product ruined my face, enough said.

3 days after I used this product, I developed serious rash on my cheek.and around my chin. The rash was so bad, I looked like a typical drug addict suffering from bad skin (due to drug use). But I am not a drug addict and was not one either.

Those areas were red first then they turned dark and became dark spots. My skin was also peeling a lot. I walked around with a lot of white peeling dead skin on my face.

Then I thought, maybe I could apply it on the smile lines and forehead since those areas didn't develop rash. I was naive to think I should hang in there, it might really reduce lines. Then it became clear to me that the skin on my forehead and smile lines was so dry and peeling crazy. There's no way it can reduce any line, isn't it? If it dries up your skin crazy, it actually makes your lines worse and more obvious.

So I threw the product away. I had never thrown any facial cream away. If it doesn't work, I always apply it on my legs to make good use of it. But I threw this one away because it ruined my skin.

Days later, I saw other reviews about this product on amazon.com, I found that I am not the only one getting serious rash from using this lousy product.

And this is the only facial cream that gave me rash. It never happened before with other products.

Even though I’m in my early 20’s I can already see I’m getting frown lines. I know wrinkles are a part of the aging process and I’ll have to live with them sooner or later but I’ll be okay with them when I’m in my 50’s, not 20’s. Anti-wrinkle creams are notorious for being so expensive and NOT work.


I decided to take baby steps and start off with a drugstore one. A friend recommended this one to me. Even though it has spf in it I use it in the morning and nighttime.


My skin is very acne-prone and this hasn’t contributed in breaking my skin out which is a good start. It moisturizes alright and as for the anti-wrinkle powers I believe it’s halting the process of my frown lies from becoming more prominent.


This stuff is about $20 a tube and a pea size amount is enough to cover my entire face. I managed to get my 2nd tube on sale on top of my 5% discount with my red target debit card so it came to around $16. Anyway, with skincare it’s always easier to prevent than go through treatment so I’m going to keep using this to keep my wrinkles in check :>

For reference, I have oily/acne-prone skin. I have this in the day version with the SPF. Great product, good amount of SPF, absorbs quickly and moisturizes without leaving me greasy or with clogged pores. The retinol in it definitely helps keep my acne at bay, and it is helping with peeling away the layers of scarring and red marks I have all over my cheeks and jawline. The packaging is excellent too, the metal tubing is so practical so I know I can get every last bit out. Overall a great product, and I will continue to repurchase, it has become a staple in my daily routine.

I have decreased my rating because after using this cream for a month or so I'm not so happy anymore. I find that this left my skin really oily after a few hours which is not idea. I don't want to be blotting every hour at the office.

So disappointed because this cream got rid of my scarring and pigmentation but I just can't deal with the oiliness anymore.

Side note: People have debated whether using an anti wrinkle cream at such a young age is a good idea and for me it is. If you have wrinkles already then there is no curing them - you can only fill them in with the collagen products. As soon as you stop you will start to see them again. Hence if you use a cream from a young age you can prevent the onset of wrinkles. Of course this has a lot to do with your genetic and whether you stay out of the sun as this is one of the major contributing factors to wrinkles. I never put my face in the sun and SPF in my moisturizer is very important.

I LOVE this Retinol based cream both the daytime with SPF 20 w/Helioplex and night version. Both contain a time realeased version of a high grade Retinol along with Hyaluronic Acid for hydration. Consistent use of Retinol (which speeds up the exfoliation process and the cell renewal) will increase cloagen and elastin formation which intern speeds the renewall of Fibroblast reproduction.) Fibroblasts are what keep the skin tightly draped across the facial bones. Collagen and Elastin production maintain a finely textured outer skin making it look more even toned, firm, poreless and translucent. These are qualities found in young skin in abundence, but we loose this rapid turnover as we age. These products make skin repar itself in a much younger fashion. They are anti-ageing creams and are quite efficient at how they work. Most Highly Recommended!!

Started using it three weeks ago and I am very impressed. This is NOT a cream for young people say under the age of 40. Under 30 and I would think it is so rich it would make you break out. Having said that I am in my 60s never used make up or moisturizers regularly but did manage to keep out of the sun due to freckles and a tendency to burn. I have very deep wrinkles around my mouth and nose which I have to admit bother me.Let's face it I could bury small children in my wrinkles with no one been the wiser. However, even after just a week I could notice the difference. the winkles definitely will softer less 'deep' and
you didn't notice them as much. People commented on how rested I looked. In your 60s and older this is code for you don't look so old
today. I would certainly recommend it to other ladies of my vintage who have these types of wrinkles. I bought mine at Walmart for $19.99 so the price is certainly reasonable.

What I love:
*My cystic acne has gone down, and my chin is nearly smooth.
* I have no trace of blackheads.
* For the first time in ages, I just smoothed some Perfect primer over my skin instead of foundation, and look great, my skin an even tone.
* I no longer have to exfoliate so much, just gently 1nce per week
What I don't love:
*No improvement to the wrinkles around my eyes.
*The chemically smell.
*The way I must tug and makeup due to the firming texture of the cream.
What to expect: really dry, peely patch (to the point I almost stopped) 2-3 weeks after daily use. Then BREAKTHROUGH of new skin!

I love this product. I used this in my mid-20's and loved it then. For some reason I got caught up in the hype of other products and forgot about my love for this product.

Recently, after trying many things to help control my oily skin, large pores, and redness I decided to give it a try again. Why, oh why, did I ever stop?!?

I use this every morning and every night (there is a night cream version, too).
*My skin is so much softer. Major improvement in texture. I had several bumps and even some deep old scarring from childhood chickpox on my nose and these have diminished so much! I don't have any wrinkles, so I don't know how it works on those.

*My skin is not as oily. I have the hardest time finding anything to control the oil on my face. I put this on before makeup. Blot any excess. Use my Monistat Anti-Chaffing Power Gel. Put on my makeup, and as an experiment did some gardening in 98 degree weather for 3 hours. Came inside, looked in the mirror and was amazed. I only had the tiniest bit of shine around my nose, it really just looked like I was glowing!

*My pores are visibly smaller. I have large pores. I don't think they are large, I know they are large thanks to my 4 year old cousin pointing it out in a way only a child could do, brutal honesty. Since I've been using this, about 2 weeks, my pores are smaller. They are still there, but any improvement is welcome. My makeup doesn't seem to settle in them as much, as sometimes I go without makeup because....

*My redness is improving. I have suffered with facial redness for the last couple of years, and it only seemed to be getting worse. Since using this my skin still is pinkish, but less blotchy, more even skin toned. Other than my pores, this is what I have hated most about my skin because the redness always seemed to creep through my makeup. But not anymore! Looking in the mirror is a lot less painful now.

*Seems to help with acne. At least in my case, since using this I haven't had one breakout.

*Works fast. I've had great results in 2 weeks time.

*You may experience dry patches. I haven't, but I recommend using an exfoliant, even a gentle one like Dermalogica's Microfoliant to help that new skin come through.

I will use this for as long as they make it!

I have been using this moisturizer for about 3 weeks and am very impressed so far! At first, I was skeptical. The product doesn't seem very moisturizing, and I replaced my usual Oil of Olay with this. I have no desire to use several different products on my face, so just wanted one good moisturizer before makeup. Although I don't feel instantly hydrated after using this, makeup goes on smoothly and there is no drying. My skin is DEFINITELY more balanced now!!! Pores on nose and cheeks are smaller, my oily nose is nowhere near as shiny as normal, and I swear the lines around my mouth aren't as deep! I don't seem to get this stuff close enough to my eyes, but I'm gonna work on that! I purchased this with the spf (20?), and when I'm in the sun, my face is protected fairly well. I still get a bit of color (without using another sunscreen), but my face doesn't burn or get tight. I'm really impressed with this product and will be purchasing again.

I found this on a clearance rack for about $6, what a deal! I've been using L'Occitane Precious Cream and simply couldn't afford it anymore. This has been a great find, my skin looks better than ever. Much more even and my dry patches are gone (for now). Been using this for about 3 weeks and very happy with the results.

I really wanted to like this product because of all the great reviews on here, but this moisturizer just didn't work out for me. The Roc Multi Correxion Night Treatment did a good job of smoothing out my skin, so I thought I might try other retinol treatments, but this one ended up drying out my skin since my skin didn't seem to absorb it (it left a weird silicone-like filmy layer that washed off in the morning) and it broke me out even with regular exfoliation! In the product's defense, I was just using this as a preventative measure and my skin doesn't have any issues with aging yet (loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, etc). I misplaced this during my recent travels, but I have to say I'm not missing it at all. Will not be repurchasing.

I really don't mean to be a party pooper but I'm kind of on the fence about this product :)
It's not bad but it doesn't seem to do much for me. I used it every night for 4 months and didn't notice any effects either way. I used both the night and day cream.
It's supposed to contain retinol but the percentage must be very minimal. It doesn't sting when you first apply it or have that peeling/flaking effect like other, more potent retinol creams.


But this moisturiser didn't have any negative effect on me, it seems to work very well for most people and is not too pricey, so buy all means, give it a go!

I have used this for almost a month before making a review because this is something that takes time to see a difference. I didn't use this for wrinkles though.
I had horrible, deep cystic acne from a reaction to salicylic acid. I stopped using that product and started back on my old routine in hopes of getting rid of the acne. Nothing changed for five months. I bought this product almost as a last resort. My skin purged for about two weeks and started looking a lot better the third week. My cystic acne is all gone! I use it at night under a more hydrating moisturizer because this does not moisturize at all for me. The only downside is that it didn't do anything for my skin texture - I still have some rough patches.

This is such an amazing product. After applying this the first night i have already noticed a HUGE improvement in my skins texture and tone. Most of my acne scars faded literally over night! :D My skin looks so soft and clear. I doubt I will feel any peeling side affects from this because its so incredibly moisturizing -in the non greasy kind of way. It didn't break me out and I'm looking forward to seeing more great results! In a month or so I will update!

I have used this product for a week and am very happy with the results. I have very first fine lines under my eyes and I haven't noticed any improvement with wrinkles after using this. However, my large pores have shrunk a lot! I didn't expect that. Also, my skin is so smooth, all the rough spots are gone and the texture is increadibly soft. My freckles and spots from old acne are getting fainter. Any new acne is going away. I'm really amazed and happy with what I'm seeing and hope that as I continue using this, it might also smooth out those lines. The packaging is awesome-why can't higher end products put their creams in tubes like this instead of unsanitary jars? I look forward to putting this on at night and it sinks right in and is not greasy.
The price is a little high for drugstore but way better than what I was paying for Lancome or even the Avon night cream I had used in the past. Over all, I'm very very happy with this.
