Review: Feels and works great - I use this on my face, décolletage, neck, behind my ears, and top of hands at night about 30 minutes before I lay down. It’s working wonders!! I’ve used it for a little while now and right off the bat it helped with my eye bags I seem to get when I sleep nowadays. This is a HUGE deal for me as I’ve tried so many home remedies to help with this and nothing worked, even so far as putting my whole face in an ice bath (hello brain freeze). It’s improving my skin texture and helping with dullness. Make sure you only use at night and avoid using too much, if any, around the very thin parts of your eyes as it can cause flaking to occur bc your skin doesn’t exfoliate in that area as fast and this product causes you to produce more cells aka ending up with too much equals flakings. I use it twice a week and that took about 4 weeks to get up to. If you use it too often you’ll get flakes as well, kinda looks like a sunburn peeling. Don’t use if your skin is damaged from the sun or if you plan on being in the sun the next day. It’s basically damaging your skin so your body sends more collagen to that area to “heal” it so if you damage it with the product and then with the sun then it’s overwhelming and can harm your skin vs helping it. Sunscreen constantly. I set an alarm on my phone for every two hours to reapply. If you use this product correctly it can do wonders for your appearance but please do a reasonable amount of research before you use. Happy customer here, good luck beauties!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are you all able to sell this so much chieper the the actual company that sells the product?  My worry is that is this the real product?**
A: Jennifer, We are able to sell this at t a low cost because we obtained the product through the liquidation of several skin care spas. The product is real and if you have any other questions you can email me at clare@theglovegroup.com Thanks!

**Q: I want to use it but not sure first time to use 0.25 or 0.5? I am 48 years old and worry about 0.25 doesn't work and .5 is too strong for me to start**
A: If you have never used a retinol before it is always best to start with a milder formula, and there is definitely a difference between the .25 and the bump up to .50!  I was using .5, having moved up to that when I finished the .25 bottle and all went well until I did a cycling event that went into the late morning hours (finished around 11am).  I wound up with a chemical burn and my face peeled for about 3 weeks!  And I did use sunscreen but obviously it wore off due to sweat/exertion .  My skin looked great after the peeling, but I decided that it wasn't something I wanted to deal with all summer! So I am back to the .25 during the warm sun-intensive months and will go up to .5 again after September.  If you have sensitive skin (and I do somewhat), that may be the highest you will be able to go.  I only use the retinol at night and use Power of Three serum during the day under moisturizer--and love that product as well. Hope this help!

**Q: Why wasn’t the box or container sealed when it arrived?  It should be if it is new.**
A: Recommendation:  You are absolutely right.  When my purchase arrived it was sealed as required.  Please contact Amazon customer service and the seller.

**Q: Is this comparable to Tretinoin Cream, 0.1% made by Allegan?**
A: Retinol needs to be converted to acid by the body to be useful, retin-a is the converted acid and is already useful. So, not comparable at all. Two different products.
