If this is your first product with retinoids from the Prof brand, you might like it. However, I have tried many brands of retinoid serums and this one is very uncomfortable. Firstly, retinal is an outdated form of retinoids that is very irritating. It needs to be introduced gradually and cannot be combined with acids and certain actives. But I thought I was ready to try it because I tolerate retinol well and this product was recommended to me. However, after 2 weeks of use, I experienced irritation around my nose, lips, and chin, even though I followed the instructions (I have been using retinoids for 4 years continuously, and my skin is accustomed to it and always reacts well). Plus, after 4 weeks, I developed breakouts on my chin, which never happened with retinol before. I think I will go back to using granactive retinol, which is a more comfortable and effective form of retinoids, because this one did not live up to expectations at all. I really regret falling for the hype and buying it.
After using this retinol for 4 years, every new dermatologist who sees my skin for the first time immediately asks me what I use, because my skin looks simply amazing for my age.
Additionally, after anti-acne therapy, this retinol keeps my skin in remission for years (although, of course, it is not solely thanks to it, but also due to other factors).
For achieving a beautiful, healthy-looking skin with radiance and elasticity, this product is definitely worth considering. However, it may not be effective for treating acne. It is primarily positioned as an anti-aging solution, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it to cure breakouts.
I didn't buy it here, but it would be a shame not to write a review. WOW! That's the only word to describe it. I've been using it according to the instructions and my skin has rejuvenated.
The product is truly effective. I would say that the results are already noticeable the next morning. The skin becomes smooth and fair. I regret not coming across it earlier. I highly recommend it!
