this review title is: very effective in healing and clearing skin and the content is: i cannot say enough good things about this retinol serum i have tried several things from the baebody line of products and they have all been very high quality and very effective i am a huge fan of retinol and how it benefits the skin i am at a crappy age where i still get breakouts and i am starting to get wrinkles i hate having the same gross skin as i did as a teenager and i have tried everything prescription meds prescription creams proactiv micro dermabrasion chemical peels etcetc nothing seemed to help until i started using this retinol serum retinol is just a fancy word for vitamin a and apparently me skin is in desperate need of it it acts on dna to promote healthy epidermal skin cells it does a great job of moisturizing my skin which helps with wrinkles and it also does a great job of preventing breakouts if i do break out because of hormones it helps clear them up without drying out my skin sometimes it clears up my skin within a day or overnight vitamin a is a really potent antioxidant that protects your skin from free radicals generates cell growth and repairs damaged cells retinol belongs to a family called retinoids and is one of the only substances that is small enough to penetrate the outer epidermal layer to the layer where collagen and elastin reside it is really strong at first it is really effective and it is tempting to want to use too much too often but it can end up irritating the skin i started using it every other day at first and then built up to using it every day i also like to use a vitamin c serum but using vitamin c and retinol together tends to decrease their effectiveness and sunlight decreased the effectiveness of retinol so i use the vitaming c serum in the morning and the retinol serum at night i let it work it is magic while i sleep it has helped clear up my skin and help heal sun spots and acne scars my only regret about it is that i did not start using this years ago i was able to try this retinol serum at a promotional discount for testing and reviewing purposes and in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 12 people think this review is helpful.
