Essence of Arcadia Retinol Moisturizer Cream 2.5% for Face & Eye Area - Anti-Aging Formula with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Green Tea - 1.7 Fl Oz

Love this

I’ve used 1% Retinol products for years., with great results. I’m 55 years old and am often mistaken for 30-35; and I was a sun ABUSER; I never used sunscreen till I was 35 years old!! I have mild crow’s feet and shallow smile lines. I switched from Skinmedica Retinol 1% to this product bc of the higher concentration of RETINOL, amount of product and affordability. I also use the RETINOL SERUM 2.5% with the cream. Even though the strength is stronger and I’ve never used a RETINOL SERUM and CREAM together, I have experienced no redness, peeling, dryness nor any sign of irritation on my face, neck, décolletage or arms or hands. . I feel this is amazing because I have rosacea and extremely sensitive skin. My face is smooth and glows. I’ve never used any RETINOL product on my legs and knees. Even though I’m very athletic and have muscular legs, skin is skin and I recently noticed the DREADED saggy skin around my knees. YUCK!!!! Unfortunately, with age comes a decrease in collagen (and no sunscreen for 35 years, doesn’t help!!). To help this NASTY “ showing my age” area LOL, I’ve started to apply the RETINOL SERUM AND CREAM. Within a week I noticed a HUGE difference in skin firmness around my knees (YAY!!) and legs. Because this is a virgin area to RETINOL, there has been a great amount of peeling. THATS OKAY- it’s my knees, not my face. After 3 days of peeling, there is much less flaking. I had thick scars from a bad fall while training for a marathon. These scars are about 50% less noticeable after a week. Sounds weird, but my knees and legs have a glow to them!!! This is a VERY SMOOTH, moisturizer with absolutely no odor. My upper body does not need any extra moisturizer, even with this strength of RETINOL. My knees, because it’s a strong level to start with and applied to an area never exposed to RETINOL does require a little extra cream an hour after I apply the RETINOL. For best results, use in conjunction with the RETINOL SERUM.

I have only been using the Retinol Moisturizer Cream for approximately 2 1/2 weeks and my face is a lot less dry in the mornings and it doesn't cause any extra irritations or pimples that most creams have. I'm still waiting to see if it helps to get rid of some bumpiness on my face. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the container is very odd, specifically how you have to push down the whole top to get the cream out and it feels very cheap.

Product was ok. Felt nice and moisturizing but didn’t see any noticeable differences. There wasn’t a lot in the container at all! Felt cheated

I ordered the Essence of Arcadia retinol moisturizer because it was offered at a cheaper price than the brand I had previously ordered; I am so glad I did!! This moisturizer is so creamy and easy to apply to my skin. It doesn't sting around my eye area like some of the other retinol creams. Instead of leaving my skin feeling tacky, it makes it feel soft and smooth and moisturized - no greasy feeling. I can already see a difference in the tone and texture of my skin. I LOVE IT !! And will definitely reorder!

At the age of 61 I've spent most of my life suffering with acne and acne scarring! I've spent a small fortune on facial products that never did anything except break me out of make the problem worse! I had looked and looked and read about natural products when I ran onto this Miracle treatment. From day one I saw a difference in the softness of my face and miraculously the scarring seems to be diminishing. I am so thrilled that I bought one more product. I can honestly say it will be my last! Thank you for making such an amazing truthful product! I'm hooked!

I’ve been using this cream for over 3 months now, and the results are great. I use it every morning after taking a shower, on clean dry skin. It moisturizes my face and neck perfectly, without leaving an oily residue. It also smoothes out my complexion and leaves my face feeling fresh, pleasant to the touch, without any of the flakiness i used to have. I can even notice how it has smoothed out some of the wrinkles near the corners of my mouth and my eyes! I’ll be buying more!

Only had for a day or so. I immediately noticed my face was lighter when I applied it and eyes we're not so baggy after. Love that it doesn't have a strong smell and isn't sticky but is soft. It wears off tho. You have to keep applying it.
