    Feeling plump

    It’s smells a funky but I think most retinols do. Put in on in the evening and my face still feels plump and hydrated in the morning. Not sure what fine lines and wrinkles have been reduced but I’ve only been using it a month.

    Soothing

    I read all the recommendations to use it and stared slowly. I must admit I was scared at first, but I shouldn’t have worried.

    I have built up to using it once every 3 days and my skin looks radiant and the fine lines seem to be smoothed away. Happy
