Not Strong Enough...
This was a tough one for me to review. There were some things I definitely liked about this retinol product, but some I didn't. For the likes, the smell and consistency were great, and it dried quickly. The dislikes I had were it wasn't very powerful and it has a very high price tag. For that amount of money, I was hoping it would be a stronger product. This might work for someone new to retinol, but seeing that I've used retinol before, it just wasn't strong enough for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

The Real Deal
I recently read in Allure that the 2 things you should do for your skin is to wear sunscreen and to use a retinol cream at night. I recently bought an $89 kit that included this product and the retinol AR day cream that is SPF 30, as well as AR Advanced Retinol Eye Treatment. I also use Lancome's Genfique serum in my Opal on a number of areas of concern = eye contour, frown lines, parentheses li...read morenes, sometimes my forehead lines, above my lip and even that line under my chin - the double chin line. It would be hard to say exactly which product is doing the job among all these. I do add a moisturizer and some other StriVectin products. But I really think the retinols are doing the trick. My skin is WAY better after a little over a month. Far less fine lines, smoother, brighter. My dark circles under my eyes are less. I have StriVectin SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles and StriVectin TL 360 Tightening Eye Serum, but those products do not get used as consistently as the retinols, partly because of Allure's recommendation. I also have a friend who skips the store bought skin products altogether and can afford the dermatologist. She says the same thing. Retinols are the real powerhouse when it comes to changing the DNA of your skin and affecting real change. Plus, I was told by the rep at Nordstorm's Trend Show (fashion show for beauty) that StriVectin's products are guaranteed. If they don't work, you can take them back.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 20 of 24 people said helpful
