Retinol Serum 2.5% with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E, 1 fl. oz.

This stuff is AMAZING!!! I was not sent this item to try or paid for or anything. I've heard of the benefits of retinol for your skin and always wanted to try it, but everything I found has been over $80. I came across this stuff and thought there was no way it would do anything my skin since the price was so low, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Literally within a few days I saw a huge difference. I'm 31 and never really had problematic skin. I've actually always received compliments about my skin and have been told I look a lot younger than my age. The only issue I've ever had is my skin is very sensitive and I have to be careful about what I use on it. I decided recently to go off of the birth control pill for a bit (mainly because I've been too lazy to get in to see the doctor and get a refill) and my skin has freaked out on me. I've tried everything I can think of and thought my only solution would be to get back into the doctor to get back on the pill to keep my skin under control. This stuff has saved my skin. As soon as I started using it, my skin cleared up and it has stayed clear ever since. I don't even break out at that time of the month anymore, and my skin looks brighter and feels softer. I don't use any special cleanser or moisturizer (just Cetaphil from the drugstore - it's the only thing my skin seems to like) and I have tried everything else out there. From pricey stuff from Sephora to stuff from the drugstore. This has done it for me. My sensitive skin doesn't have an issue with it and it doesn't dry me out at all. I use it every night and I've never experienced any redness or anything like that. I want to try some of the other items in this skincare line since I'm so impressed with the retinol serum. I hope they never stop making it!

I wanted to use it for at least 30 days before writing a review. I can't do a fair review, unless I explain how I use it to get amazing results.I use 4 of their products at the same time.-Total Repair Eye Gel-Vitamin C Serum-Retinal Serum-Advanced Age-Defying MoisturizerSo, I will explain how I use them and my results.To get the best out of these products I suggest doing microdermabrasion first. It will remove all the dead skin and allow the products to penetrate deeper.On a daily bases, I use the Total Repair Eye Gel every morning and every night. I use the Vitamin C Serum every morning, along with the Advanced Age-Defying Moisturizer, then I apply Aveeno Positively Radiant SPF 30. I used the Retinal Serum and Advanced Age-Defying Moisturizer at night.Make sure to exfoliate your skin every other day to get rid of the dead skin that will be servicing.I also started doing micro needling twice a month at home, using a .75 roller (best for acne scars and wrinkles). It helps the products penetrate deeper. You can get it on Amazon. Do your research on it first. You can message me, if you want more information on how I use it.After a month, my skin is glowing! Under my eyes the skin is firm and I have zero lines. I didn't really have any darkening, so I'm using it more as a preventive measure. Now, my makeup goes on silky smooth. I have actually stopped wearing as much makeup, because my skin is so radiant. I'm just using a tinted moisturizer for daily wear. I also have had these deep lines on my neck since I was a teenager and the lines are getting less noticeable. Hopefully, they disappear over time.Note: The first couple of weeks my skin was flaking a little. So, for a couple of days I just used the Aveeno moisturizer only. That helped stop the flaking. Then, I went back to the products. There was no more flaking after that.

I have only been using Retinol Serum to the last 3 weeks but I could see positive changes to my skin - it's a lot more supple particularly the laugh lines area. My skin is blessed that it doesn't have wrinkles or fine lines but I have suffered from adult cystic acne scarring and recently I could see sagging has started to develop. I wanted to 'improve' these condition hence I tried Amara's retinol. It has not eliminated the scar but somehow smoothen the edges (akin to having had Fraxel, which I had treatment before. this thing is pricey!), and the skin starts to (ever so slightly) be more tight and supple. These improvements are micro change, not like people stop and compliments me. I see the change and I just hope these positive effects continue the more I use this product, and not some kind of placebo effect. I will come back to review after a few more months.

I added this to my face care routine along with Marula oil. This product is well packaged and dispenses just the right amount. I have very sensitive skin, yet this product did not cause any breakouts, redness or sensitivity. After applying, my skin has a velvety smooth and matte appearance...which I love! No stickiness, no residue, no fuss. I've only been using it once a day for a short period of time, but I swear that I see those fine lines disappearing already. I'm 50, but look more in my 30s and I want to keep it that way, so I plan on purchasing more products from Amara Organics. You cannot beat the customer service either! I was contacted after receiving my product with instructions for use and they wanted to know if I has happy with my purchase. I have since contacted them for further recommendation to which they were more than happy to help and responded immediately. They're even going so far as to send me some samples of products I can try before purchasing. This is wonderful customer service that I truly appreciate! Even though they have a fantastic return policy they're still willing to send me samples at no cost to me. So for me.....a nice product at a fair price and great customer service = one happy customer that will be returning and bringing all her friends! Thank you Amara Organics!!
