Strive - Anti-aging Retinal Serum - 0.1% Retinaldehyde, 10% Peptides & 2% Vitamin C E Ferulic Face Serum. Brightening, Firming, Wrinkle & Fine Line Reducing - Fragrance Free Anti aging Skincare - 30mL

Excellent. This stuff is super expensive but its effectiveness matches its price. I couldn't find anything that had this formula either.

I did not know it’s for man. I am a lady 70 and I like it for my dry/normal skin

I originally got this for my husband along with the Strive moisturizer. He didn't use it long before he had to start using a CPAP machine. He has oily skin, so products don't soak in to his skin the way they do my dry skin. Anyway, he was concerned about having products sit against the mask parts, so he quit using serums and moisturizers. He's never really been a skin care routine kind of guy anyway. On top of that, he's never had dry skin in his life. He doesn't even need lip balm when we're at high altitude. Sorry. I digress. When he quit using the products, I took them. They do work for women too, but I can definitely see how they are targeted to men. At any rate, the serum is a bit yellow and shows quite a while on my fair skin. I don't think I'd like this for morning use. Otherwise, it does seem really nice -- hydrating, and tone evening. I think I will give the remainder to our son, though.

I've tried a lot of serums and nothing compares. This is the first one I have reordered. It goes on more like a creme and absorbs fast. I saw results in no time. It has become a staple in my skincare routine, cant wait to try more from the brand.

The strive serum is a little sticky, and my skin itches when using, smells good.

The texture is silky without being greasy, and it absorbs quickly into the skin. I’ve noticed a visible difference in the firmness and overall radiance of my face, especially around my eyes and jawline. Bonus points for the sleek packaging and the subtle, clean scent. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable, effective serum that delivers on its promises!

This was my first experience using this type of skincare and so far it has been incredible. I feel like there is a noticeable difference in the lines on my face as well as the smoothness of my skin. Light on the face and not a strong fragrance. It is very yellow but once you rub it into the skin it is not noticeable.

This facial serum is hardcore. No fooling around here. It goes right to town working on improving the overall quality of your complexion. Interesting how it can both soothe and help prevent breakouts while also tending to firming up your skin while also diminishing wrinkles. Yet, as hardcore as that is, it's also soothing and gentle enough for most users. Although, sensitives should patch test this before using along the entire face for their first use. I'm totally fine with this on my mature combination skin as it only does good stuff for me. When first applying, it made my pale white skin look oddly yellowish. Not a good look for me. But never fear, that color soon works itself out and goes away in minutes. Not an issue at all. I think it's just the retinol which can be yellowish. In fact, the serum itself is a goldenrod yellow in color. This is an intense serum that is very creamy. Spreads easily and absorbs well. You only need to use a small amount, so don't go crazy with this while applying. A small amount will go a long way and will do a lot to improve the appearance of your complexion. Very good for most skin types. Should even be safe and helpful for those with problematic skin, though enter slowly to make sure that this works for you. It might just be what you need because it does contain various ingredients that improve overall skin quality. It does a lot to improve my various skincare issues, both oily and dry. I get the impression that this is a facial serum that is being marketed for men, but seriously, it's just as good for women. Good for all adult skin groups, from teens to seniors. Note: because this contains retinol, I would suggest that you not wear this if going out to spend the day in the sun. Wait until you've come back inside and clean up for the day.
