Cream arrived quickly - really pleased with it, 13 Aug. 2014

Cream arrived quickly - really pleased with it . I used to use obagi which is a good £20 more expensive . I have used it a couple of nights and it seems quite strong - you would need to make sure you follow the instructions carefully as I could imagine your skin would peel - as it can do with retinoids . As well as the powerful anti ageing effects I also had spots and blemishes when I started using I , which have now completely cleared up - my skin looks a lot clearer and I cannot fully judge the anti ageing effects just yet as its early days - however it certainly feels like its working and I'm pleased with the results so far . The tube will last a long time as you only need to use a tiny amount every time you use it - I would definitely recommend this but do not over apply as it's powerful stuff !

The result was that two days later my skin started peeling off, by day three my face looked like raw meat. I was severely burnt and sore, just putting fragrance free moisturiser on was painful. I couldn't go to work for two days it was that bad. However.... a week later my skin looked lovely !!

I believe I have now mastered application. Two years ago I had a cosmetic procedure and the surgeon told me that the only thing that will eradicate wrinkles is Vitamin A, which is retinol, not smoking and staying out of the sun. I have continued with the retinol and used it once a week, then twice a week. I'm now using it every other night. I apply a pea size and dot it round my face, rub in avoiding the eye area, after...
