Retinal + Niacinamide Youth Serum - Anti-aging serum

unfortunately, I love it

I bought this to help with my hormonal cystic acne, as per the reviews, but felt the price was ridiculous and fully intended to return it if I wasn't blown away. much to my wallet's chagrin, this product totally changed my skin texture. I apply it most nights before bed and seal it in with moisturizer. it doesn't dry out my face too much and my huge deep breakouts have calmed a lot - they still flare up a little around my cycle but stay under the skin and go away faster, and the rest of my face looks smoother and brighter. I agree with reviews that say the pump is awful, it's really stiff so you can't tap out just a little product but have to get a full helping every time. it goes on quite yellow but has never come off on my white pillows. I still think it costs way too much, like all YTTP, but the bottle lasted 5 months. I would repurchase except it's been out of stock for months, probably have to go find something else. if you see it in stock, though, it's worth it!!

Works

Worked well. Got rid of most blemishes and bumps. Would recommend

Favorite!

This serum has totally improved my skin and texture of my skin. Reduced appearance of wrinkles. Love it! The price went up which I don’t like but it is worth it

Say hello to radiant skin.

I love this retinal formula. I’ve been using it for over a year and love the results. It’s gentle on the skin and really evens out dark spots and overall skin complexion. Highly recommend.

Ok. Could be better.

The serum is just fine. But, the pump blows. I’d buy again if there was a guarantee that the pump wouldn’t be awful.

Best over the counter Retinal

It is the best retinal I have used over the counter. I like to mix with a peptide serum and it is great

I'm on the retinal train.

As I'm nearing my 30s I thought why not introduce a retinal in my routine. And wow... I saw results within the week. Fine lines were smoothing, pores were shrinking.. It was magic in a bottle. My favorite thing about YTP products is the texture tho. Everything feels so smooth and so LUX!

Must have

This is the best product I’ve ever used .. ive been using it for 3 years now and will never stop I’m 45 I have no fine lines or wrinkles on my skin cause of this . 100 recommend! I have sensitive skin doesn’t bother me at all

Love this makes my skin so smooth and line free. A great buy for anyone over 40

Good stuff!

Of all the products I've tried by YTTP, this is the one I've noticed the affects of the most - in a good way! I use it about 3 times a week and have seen improvements around my eyes. Would recommend!

Perfect for my aging and acne prone skin

I love this serum! It plays nice with my aging and acne prone skin. It only took a couple of weeks before I could use this nightly. For a retinal product it is gentle while still being effective. Note my skin does have experience with glycolic acid so it likely acclimated quicker than those that have never used a retinoid or harsher ingredient. My only beef with this product is that the instructions say to use a pea sized amount for both you face and neck (I always hate this instruction as it leaves way to much to interpretation - and is near meaningless when working with a thinner product). This is laughable. You will need at least 2 pumps to cover your face and neck. I suspect if you have dry skin, you will need more. Even though the directions say to apply to dry skin, I only pat my face and neck a little bit after cleansing. I find that helps me keep to no more than 2 pumps. I do think this product is overpriced. This is why it only gets 4 stars.

Great first retinal experience

I'd never tried a product with retinal before and I am sold! Does a great job reducing fine lines and wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes. And while it seems pricey, I only use it once or twice a week so it lasts for a long time.
