InstaNaturalRetinol Serum for Face, 2.5% Retinol Bakuchiol, Minimizes Lines, Wrinkles, Discoloration and Signs of Aging, with Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane, 1 Fl Oz

I've been using the Vitamin C & Retinol Serums the Retinol Moisturizer and the Vitamin C Cleanser since January 2018. I am iNsAnE about these products!I am 54 and according to my husband (who also uses the same products and looks FABULOUSLY younger) now look 44. My skin is smoother, brighter, tighter and fresher looking!I wash with the Vitamin C cleanser in the morning and then apply the Vitamin C serum. I use it all over my neck (including the sides), my chest and tops of my shoulders. At night I wash again with the cleanser and apply the Retinol serum the same way and once it dries I apply the Retinol moisturizer. I only use the moisturizer maybe twice per week at night because honestly, the wash and the serums alone have done so much for my complexion I don't feel I really need it every night.I would like to add a little background on myself and how I came to use these products...2 years ago I started following The Primal Blueprint because I wasn't taking care of myself like I should have. I was always very thin (5' 7" and around 120 lbs.) but started eating all the wrong foods and skyrocketed to 154 lbs. I felt horrible about myself. My skin was looking awful and I felt I was aging way before my time.Years of being a sun lover was starting to show in a really bad way with deep lines down the center of my chest and I was always really red (which I later learned was due to inflammation from eating all the wrong foods) on my chest and neck area. My face was looking old, my hair was looking bad and I just felt all around crappy about myself.So I knew I needed to make some changes, fast! I searched for an answer and came across Mark Sisson and his Primal Blueprint.I purchased several of his cookbooks and 1 week later I went Primal. I purged my kitchen cabinets of $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased and started my new life. Long story short, I lost 36 lbs. in about 5 months and now weigh 119 lbs. Instead of junior's size L/XL (size 14-16) I wear juniors size XS (0-2)! The transformation not only in my weight/size but overall general appearance is REMARKABLE!Every wrinkle on my chest, sides of my neck and tops of my shoulders, from sun damage, DISAPPEARED because the thickness of my skin has completely changed with the loss of so much fat. Along with the fat went the ugly sun damage/deep wrinkles!The skin over my entire body has completely changed from dry in some areas, oily in others, wrinkly, sun damaged, ruddy, thick and inflamed to baby smooth from top to bottom and sun damage free! It's truly astounding what a change in diet can do for your skin and overall appearance!As for my hair? When I started the Primal way of life my hair was dull and lifeless and WAS NOT GROWING AT ALL! It was several inches above my shoulders and now it's growing like crazy and is almost down to the middle of my bad. Not only does it grow like crazy but it's thicker and shinier and sheds 99% less.I should add that along with the Primal way of life for 2 years I have also been taking Brain Power Omega-3 Fish Oil for 2 years which I purchase every 90 days here on Amazon and believe much of my overall improvements are a direct result. Living a natural and organic lifestyle has done more for me than I could ever write about here. It was THE BEST THING I have ever done for myself. Everything in my life is organic down to my mascara, the products I clean with and even my mattress! I was just missing one thing....a natural/organic skincare regimen. The one final thing to take the improvements in my skin and make them even better!So here I am reviewing these InstaNatural products which I have to say have only added to and enhanced the wonderful changes that had already taken place in my life.I research EVERYTHING I purchase now and have become a serious ingredients label reader. It's incredibly time consuming but in the end it's worth it. I looked at numerous natural skin care lines here on Amazon and in the end I chose InstaNaturals. After using these products for only 2 months, the improvements in my complexion are SO INCREDIBLE & SO OBVIOUS, I will NEVER use anything else! ( ( I pray they never stop making this stuff).My husband tells me at least 10x a day how great I look and how I have reversed my age and how he can't believe the changes but the other day he said something that I will never forget. He looked at me and said..."You look so good you're actually starting to scare me!"Ladies, if you're thinking about purchasing a new skin care regimen, STOP HERE and try InstaNatural's line of Vitamin C and Retinol. I promise you will not regret it but I need to reiterate that, for me personally, my skin and overall appearance improvements have only improved because of a combination of things. I believe that had I started using this skin care line back when I was eating a horrible diet, it would not have made a difference in my face.You must take care of yourself all around, not just the outside, and that means eating the right foods. Stop putting poisons in your body with the foods you eat. Put the right things in your body and the results will show on the outside. Once you do that, everything you add to your exterior will only enhance your overall health. An overall healthy appearance starts from the inside NOT with what you put on your face!I will purchase these InstaNatural products for life. In fact, Because I use these products on my neck, chest and shoulder as well as my face I will probably reorder more frequently. It is money very well spent. So THANK YOU INSTANATURALS for the MOST AMAZING products ever! I love you but most importantly I love me!

this product is truly amazing

InstaNatural Retinol Serum's a great product that works quickly and gets great results. My caveats have more to do with skincare needs and personal preferences than with the quality of the product itself. So first the good stuff: I love the price and 2-3 drops go a long way, so the 1 oz. I ordered should last at least a month. Seriously, those 2-3 drops cover my face, neck, chest, hands, lower arms, and elbows. They use a long-acting, more stable, time-release "encapsulated" formula, (don't even bother with the non-encapsulated stuff, Retinol/Retin-A/Retinoid products come from Vitamin A, which tend to be unstable and degrade quickly) so I only need to put it on one time per day in the evenings. I'm in my 50s with oily skin that's prone to breakouts, allergic reactions, blotches, rashes, and large pores. After just 3 days, I've already seen enough improvement with my skin tone, clarity, smoothness, and evenness that I went out and about today with just NORMAL sunscreen instead of the tinted stuff that's better than actual foundation and lets me skip another layer of goop, but which I still find kind of gross. And zero itching or allergies or breakouts. As for the wrinkles and general sagging I'm struggling with -- despite still having zit problems -- I'm seeing some improvement with the wrinkles and am not sure if anything will help with the sagging but plastic surgery (which is pricey and gives me the icks so hard "no" for now). But what the hey, it's only been three days, so I can hope. (And will update). So now for the caveats... Take care and start with a lower-percent formula if you have sensitive skin or it tends to be dry and you haven't tried Retinol/Retin-A/Retinoids products before. As I mentioned, I *do* have sensitive skin. But I've been using lower-percent Retinol skin products for a few years now (Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Day & Night creams - they're amazing but I'm ready to up the ante), so I've built a tolerance. (b) The product's orangey scent is divine, and many reviewers have said they adore it. Unfortunately for me, I have a weirdly over-developed sense of smell and would love it way more if I could stand around six feet away from myself. (c) The serum goes on nice and smoothly... But it feels a little bit sticky to me. I haven't seen any other comments about this so I'm likely just being overly picky. I'm going to keep using it for as long as it lasts but will still be trying out other products. Still, the quality, price, and results (especially if my face DOES wind up looking a little less saggy and wrinkly) are hard to beat, so I might just wind up deciding that smelling like I continuously bathe in a vat of slightly over-sweetened orange juice is worth the price of looking fabulous (or at least *feeling* like I look fabulous).

Excellent - it works great & doesn't turn my skin red like traditional Retinol.
