Lira Clinical PRO Retinal-Plus Treatment - Retinol Cream with Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Vitamin C - Helps Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles - All Skin Types - 1 fl oz

This cream makes my skin feel really soft and hydrated in the morning. I did not experience any irritation with it. The cream itself did not look at that great because it has a brownish color. But it’s a light cream and it absorbs well on the skin. I did feel a mild tingling feeling right after i applied it but it went away quickly, the feeling is like adding water to a dried crack if that makes any sense. The jar has a pump dispenser, you press on it and the cream gets pumped up to the top so you don’t contaminate the rest of the cream. It’s a small jar so it’s quite pricey but it really does wonder to the skin

Do not see much result using it

This cream is filled with all kind of ingredients, from hyaluronic acid (humectant), salicylic acid (exfoliator), retinol (anti-aging), and vitamin c (plumping).I am used to use all the above ingredients in different products and different times of the day, morning or evening. So when I saw this product, I was a little confused, I regularly use vitamin C in my AM routine and retinol at PM. So I was not sure if it was ok to combine them together, and most importantly when to use it. After researching, turns out it is ok to combine them both. The recommendation, according to their website, is to be used during evening routine.I like the dispenser because it provides the proper amount to use each time. The cream is not too thick, and it gets absorbed pretty fast.The one thing I am not a big fan of is that it contains dimethicone, which is a silicone, ingredient I have been trying to avoid. However, this is one of those ingredients that will make your face look smooth. At least is paraben, sulfate and alcohol-free.Lastly, price is a way higher than many other beauty products, even if you combine 4 products with the main ingredients I listed at the beginning.Full Ingredient List:Water (Aqua), glycerin, squalane, caprylic/capric triglyceride, C-12-15 alkyl benzoate, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, cetearyl alcohol, butyrospermum parkii nut extract, dicaprylyl ether, safflower seed oil piperonyl esters, dimethicone, hydroxyapatite, niacinamide, cetyl palmitate, sorbitan palmitate, ethylhexyl palmitate, silica dimethyl silylate, sodium hyaluronate, bakuchiol, adenosine, resveratrol, retinal, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, saccharide isomerate, polacrylamide, C13-14 isoparaffin, laureth-7, sea water, olea europaea leaf extract, symphytum officinale leaf extract, buddleja davidii meristem cell culture, cyperus papyrus leaf cell extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, laminaria digitata extract, chlorella vulgaris extract, cucumis sativus fruit extract, lavandula angustifolia flower/leaf/stem extract, citrus aurantifolia peel extract, mentha piperita extract, pyrus malus fruit extract, mangifera indica fruit extract, rubus idaeus fruit extract, cucumis melo cantalupensis fruit extract, citrus auranitum dulcis peel extract, impatiens balsamina flower extract, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, citrus grandis fruit extract, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, bisabolol, caprylylglycol, ethylhexylglycerin, hexylene glycol, xanthan gum, carbomer, butylene glycol, pentylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid, tocopherol, sodium hydroxide, citric acid, limonene, linalool.

After using it everyday for about 2 weeks, my wife loves this cream. she typically uses a bunch of other but to try this one out she stopped using other products during the past 2 weeks. Compared to other products (face cream, serums), it makes the skin feel better (softer, rejuvenated) more noticeably than it makes it look better. Don't get it wrong, in terms of looks, it does work on wrinkles and lines but it's not going to reverse age.My wife's first reaction was that it feels cleaner and better without having other words to describe it better. She did not have any reaction as she's got a very sensitive skin. It can be used anywhere but she used it on her face (just to give context).The higher price is obvious but that shouldn't be the reason to buy if you can afford. That decision is fairly easy to make and hence I think its a 5 star product!

Because this is promoted as a retinol cream, I expected I would experience the flaking and redness that I have had with other retinol products. But, after more than a week, this has not been the case. There has been no irritation at all and I find that my skin is actually softer. The product is a tan color—it goes on tan, as well, though the color dissipates soon after. The fragrance is appealing to me; it smells a bit peachy, but not overwhelmingly so. There is only an ounce of product in the plastic container but the pump dispensing method helps one conserve. The cream has a luxurious, fine feel to it, as one would expect given its price point. I normally use products with a few ingredients, usually serums and creams for sensitive skin that target specific skin issues, and I look for value. I like to know what the ingredients in products do. Those with fewer ingredients are comprehensible to me and these standbys have worked well for me, though I am always looking for something “better.” This Lira product works well, too. I am impressed that I have had no negative reaction to it given the number of ingredients in it and that fact my skin feels good, looks good after a week of application.

Once thing I noticed is that the more hydrated and soft my skin is, the less my fine line wrinkles show.This is nice cream that goes on smoothly. Didn't feel sticky at all. Absorbed quickly.Since I've been using creams my skin isn't dehydrated or rough. But, I like to continue applying good creams to my face to keep my skin soft and wrinkle free.
