I unexpectedly liked this product more than many others that are more expensive. I have completely switched to using it in the morning and evening, and even when I use my darsonval device. With Korean products, I used to have breakouts, but with this serum, there is nothing like that.
I liked it, used it in the morning and evening, and sealed it with cream. There are visible results.
I do not recommend this serum. I did not notice any improvement, only a worsening of my skin condition. I have been using retinoids and decided to try this serum in addition. The number of pimples on my almost clear skin turned into a large-scale horror. It did not lighten any acne, as I have oily skin type.
Great serum. I liked it and it helped me. Between the photos, there are two weeks. The irritations disappeared and the acne reduced.
I really liked the serum. I use it in the evening, mixing it with my night cream. In the morning, my skin appears more firm. The inflammation has disappeared, but it took about 2 months. I purchased it based on reviews.
I used it every day for 3 weeks. However, I didn't see any results at all.
With the intake of vitamin A (retinol) internally, the results have been excellent. The skin had serious problems, such as acne and blackheads, but it has also become firmer.
This serum is excellent. It helps to cleanse the skin, but you can see the results after 4 uses. Don't expect immediate effects.
I have been using it for two weeks at night and in the morning I use a SPF cream. Sometimes it stings a little during the day. I haven't seen any obvious retinol effects, but it has helped dry out my pimples and improved my skin tone. Maybe it has a cumulative effect. It's not bad for its price. I am 36 years old.
Great!
Excellent! It effectively treats acne and overall, the face appears fresher.
I was initially disappointed with the serum as it caused skin inflammation after using it. Therefore, I stopped using it. However, to my surprise, after a week, my skin was clear and inflammation-free.
There are significantly fewer breakouts and the pores are much cleaner. The key is to use a moisturizing cream afterwards to prevent any redness.
Ladies, do not be misled by these reviews! The ingredient listed is not retinol but rather vitamin A. However, vitamin A can exist in various forms, such as retinyl palmitate, tretinoin, retinal, etc. These different forms have varying effects on anti-aging, acne, and so on, and their potency is determined by their concentration, which should also differ among the various forms. Therefore, the manufacturer was being dishonest by stating "vitamin A" in the ingredients instead of a specific form.
I have been using it for over a year, and I am satisfied with the results.
My entire face is in pain and burning. It's red and dry, and I'm not talking about wine, but specifically about my face. Retinol is definitely there. But I'm scared to continue using it. Only 2 days of use.
I used it for 1.5 months, not every day, took a break for a week. I used a little less than half of the jar (didn't really save it).
By the end of the second week, my skin became incredibly soft! Like after a peel or alginate mask, but now it's always like that.
The product didn't really affect redness and a few acne marks, and overall, the skin tone only slightly improved. Blackheads and pore size remained the same.
I have combination skin with flakiness, and the serum completely got rid of it, my skin feels nourished.
I applied it under SPF cream (retinol stops working under UV rays), and when I'm at home and want a light coverage, I didn't use cream, but my skin doesn't feel tight at all, even though it's usually like that for me.
10/10, highly recommend buying it!
Convenient to use. It reduces redness and softens the skin on the face. I use it before applying makeup. I highly recommend it.
I really liked the serum. My first encounter with retinol was successful. I noticed that my skin became visibly clearer. I will definitely buy it again.
I decided to write a review after using the entire bottle, and here's the thing - there is neither anything good nor anything bad about it, and that is already a good thing. The consistency is watery, and the effect is non-existent.
The skin seems to have improved slightly in appearance, but I'm not sure if it's because of this serum (since I use several products together).
I was concerned that the serum doesn't tingle upon application and doesn't cause any peeling, as if I'm just applying water. It feels like there is very little active ingredient in the formula, so when I finish this bottle, I'll go buy something stronger.
Great serum. I really liked it, my skin looks much better. It has a fresh and healthy appearance. I use the serum in the morning and evening.
"The product is odorless, and I did not notice any particular effect."
Pay attention to the appropriate expiration date, especially for highly concentrated products such as serums - this is important! And the fact that it is manufactured in China raises doubts about whether to buy it or not.
I have been testing the retinol for a week now and I really like it! My skin feels moisturized, my complexion is even, and I have fewer pimples. If any appear, they quickly disappear. The pores on my cheeks have noticeably reduced in size and the blackheads have disappeared. I apply a few drops at night and the serum absorbs quickly. After that, I apply aloe gel, and together they work well. It's better not to use it during the day or to apply a high SPF protection. Overall, the serum is amazing and the price is great. I want to try other serums from Aromatika.
This product is excellent for problematic skin. It truly reduces pimples, and the overall condition of the skin improves significantly.
It distributes and absorbs well, without any odor and doesn't cause any irritation. However, it can clog pores if you have a tendency towards that. I have been using it for a couple of months in the morning and evening under my cream. It has significantly improved the tone of my skin.
I have been using it for about a month now, and I have noticed a significant improvement in my skin. This serum is really amazing!
I haven't found anything better in the last 5 years. This product is simply perfect for combination skin. My skin "thanks" me for this serum every day. I definitely recommend it! I have already ordered it for the fourth time and I use it twice a day after toner and before moisturizer.
Wow, this product really helps with acne. In all my 38 years, I have never come across such an effective solution. Before applying it, I cleanse my skin with a Korean cosmetic cleanser - maybe that's why they work so well together.
There is no effect. I doubt I will order it a second time.
I have been using this product for about 3 weeks, but I haven't noticed any visible effects. The product is poorly absorbed and feels watery. Also, the foundation doesn't sit well after applying this serum.
I have tried many creams, but they tend to cause breakouts, so I decided to try a serum with a lighter consistency and fewer comedogenic ingredients. I used it almost every day, sometimes alternating with a light cream. I can't say for sure if my face improved because of this serum alone, as I use many other products as well... It could be the combination that yielded results. At the very least, my face didn't get worse. The bottle lasted for 3.5 months. I probably won't order it again, but I will try another serum from Aromatika.
Super! My face was sagging, and I accidentally tried this serum. I'm already ordering my third bottle.
Overall, this serum is good. It has improved the evenness and freshness of my skin tone. However, I am deducting 4 stars because the word "Retinol" is not mentioned in the ingredients. Is it even present in the product?
The serum is great. I have problematic and sensitive skin. I have been using it for 3 weeks, applying it in the morning and evening. My skin looks much better now, it has reduced pigmentation and decreased breakouts. I will definitely order more, as it is the only product that has helped even a little.
I didn't see any noticeable results from this product, but it didn't make things worse either, which is a relief. It's strange that the percentage of retinol is not specified. Retinol is known to be sensitive to sunlight, so it is important to use a daytime cream with SPF when using it, or only apply it at night.
The serum is great, it doesn't dry out the skin and doesn't leave a sticky residue. However, I found it strange that the website states it is made in China, but the packaging indicates it is made in the Netherlands.
I have problematic skin and it's difficult to find cosmetics that work well for me. By the way, I had a breakout like a teenager, but this product from Holika Holika suits me perfectly. It doesn't make my skin greasy, and I no longer have breakouts (it used to happen with almost everything I tried). My skin feels adequately moisturized. I am ordering it for the second time now.
I really liked this serum. It has no scent, which is great. And most importantly, it prevents new breakouts from appearing.
I completely agree with the previous reviews. This serum is great. It helps to fight breakouts without drying out the skin. I have noticed a significant decrease in breakouts, and if any appear, they are not deep and usually disappear within a day or two. I will definitely be purchasing it again! Also, a big thank you to the store for the fast delivery and high-quality product!
I can't say that the serum provides a magical instant effect, but the skin really looks much better with regular use. Breakouts on the skin have become less frequent, and if they do appear, they quickly disappear. The skin tone is even, and dryness doesn't appear even after a long walk in the cold and wind.
I have been using it twice a day for almost a month now. I have noticed a decrease in breakouts and my skin tone has become more even. Overall, my skin's condition has improved significantly.
This is my second time ordering this product. The effect is truly noticeable. After using it for a long time, my skin tone evens out and my skin becomes calmer. The ingredients are good. I was pleased to find out that it is not tested on animals. I highly recommend it.
The serum works wonderfully on my combination skin prone to breakouts! It moisturizes the dry areas and normalizes the oily ones. I apply it twice a day, in the morning and evening, and after 20 minutes, I use the Holika Holika aloe vera cream (I also ordered it here).
Ladies, if your skin is prone to breakouts, it's not always because of oiliness. On the contrary, when you over-dry certain areas of your skin, the sebaceous glands start working in overdrive and acne and clogged pores form. This serum personally helped me normalize their function. Within just a week, my skin looks more well-groomed, pleasant to touch, and the tone is gradually evening out.
Moreover, it's a great help for the skin during the cold season.
Overall, I am satisfied!
After a week of using the serum, I noticed a change in its smell, which initially worried me. I had been storing it in a box in the cupboard. After that, I moved it to the refrigerator on the door. I hope it will last for about three months if there are no changes in the color and smell of the product. Overall, it seems decent - there is no sticky feeling on the face, and the texture is pleasant. It is non-comedogenic. Judging by the fact that the percentage of retinol is not stated, it is not high. I will deduct points for the scent that appeared. If storing it in the refrigerator doesn't help, then it seems that the product is oxidizing and this packaging is not suitable for it.
Excellent serum! I used it for a month (until the bottle ran out) twice a day, in the morning and evening, as a standalone product. The skin tone normalized, it became more moisturized, and dry patches disappeared. The pores also slightly tightened, but blackheads increased towards the end of the month. The serum worked wonders for redness, but breakouts still occurred. The consistency of the product is pleasant. It is a transparent, not thick liquid with a convenient dropper for application.
The serum is good and does not differ from the Korean one. It's very pleasing to see that a Ukrainian brand produces such high-quality products. It feels nice and tingly after application, improves the overall appearance of the skin, and tightens it. I will definitely try other products from this brand.
I really liked it. It evens out the skin texture and feels pleasant to the touch. My skin condition has improved.
I really liked this serum. It's been a lifesaver for my combination skin prone to breakouts. I've only been using it for 2 weeks, but the results are already noticeable. My skin tone has become more even and breakouts have significantly reduced. I highly recommend it!
