Admire My Skin Potent Retinoid Cream - Anti Aging Retinol Cream Moisturizer to Help Clear Acne Prone Skin, Eliminate Wrinkles and Provide You With That Healthy Youthful Glow

I bought this for my face to help even out skin tone and keep acne at bay, but I ended up using it on my knees and various food allergy rashes to help with scarring and getting rid of the itch. Let me explain. I’m allergic to pretty much everything. I even have a mild allergy to any and all foods that have been factory processed (like even a simple can of organic beans can make me itchy)so despite my best efforts I’m constantly breaking out in little rashes on my elbows and if it’s really bad I get a patch on my back and neck. These rashes are itchy af and if I scratch them they end up even more inflamed and leave scratching scars. I’ve tried all the salves and cortisone creams on the shelves and have even used prescription medicated creams. They all eventually get rid of the itch, but did nothing for the scarring. One day I ran out of cortisone cream and I used this stuff. You guys? It’s like the heavens opened up and a host of angels sang me a sweet healing lullaby. Instant relief! Not only did I get relief and the hives went down, the scars eventually started to fade as well! The dark patch on my back is now the same color as the rest of me and my elbows( where the worst scarring was) are significantly improved. I want to mention that I’m African American and I scar deeply, darkly and easily so I’m literally shocked at how fast this has faded my scars. I even use it as part of a treatment I randomly created to lighten my knees. They are now almost the same color as the rest of my knee skin and my knees have been dark since I was 7 and did not heed my mothers advice when she told me to stop crawling around on my knees because they would darken.😖 I know this stuff is supposed to be for your face, but it has SO MANY uses! It also works on my forehead acne around my hairline when I take a break from my other serums and such so... It’s kind of one of my favorite products at the moment and I’d definitely recommend it.

I love, love, love this product. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and I can see a tremendous difference in my skin. I use this along with the Admire My Skin brightening serum followed by a moisturizer. Four dark spots are completely gone - can't even tell they were there - and one (which is evidently very stubborn) is almost faded. Even the laugh lines beside my eyes have diminished - something I didn't expect. It's so satisfying to wash your face, look in the mirror and see smooth, healthy-looking skin. Wish I had found this years ago. I have not been paid or reimbursed in anyway to review this product - this is my own testimony. This stuff is nothing short of amazing and I will definitely be using it again and again and again. Update; It's been approximately 8 weeks since I started using this and I am still as impressed as ever. My skin hasn't looked this good in years. I now use a Vitamin C serum with this but I have to give most of the credit for my greatly improved complexion to Admire My Skin Retinol. The texture of this stuff is to-die-for - smooth as silk, light and non-sticky. I will definitely but more.

I am a nurse and purchased this product for 2 reasons. 1. "Mask-ne" (or ongoing acne resulting from chronic mask-wearing). I was going to go to the dermatologist to get a prescription for Retin-A but decided to try this first after reading reviews from several people (including MEN!) that saw improvements in their acne and other skin conditions after using this product. 2. I am 36 years old and was considering a skin care product with retinol. I purchased this exactly 4 months ago and I like the results! I have used it almost day since it arrived in May and just now am running low and need to re-order...so it lasts a while. And the price is great, too! I was hesitant to stop my Mary Kay Timewise regimen (non-retinol). But my skin looks great! It has really helped with the acne, and my skin looks very healthy (yes, I am still wearing masks every day at work - last summer my face continuously broke out with the heat and humidity + constant masking, this summer acne has not really been an issue). I have even gone into public with NO makeup on a few times since using this product, which I have rarely done in my adult life because I have always been so self-conscious of my skin. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because it is pretty greasy. I have oily skin, and I would not be able to wear it during the day or under make-up, so I put it on before bed. I also rub my hands together with bit of water after applying it to my face and it has helped the dryness and appearance of my hands as well, which I frequently wash or sanitize due to my profession.

I have used it every night for 3 years, fell my skin smooth and shiny.

I've been using product about 2 weeks. I like that it's not greasy and the container that it's in. I haven't seen results yet (but don't expect to in 2 weeks) and will continue to use for the next 3 months. My skin was referred to me by a good friend.

I love this product. The smell and the sensation in your skin

I'm liking this product for making my enlarged pores get back to a nice looking normal size. I've got about three weeks in it now. My skin is noticeably more moist, my foundation goes on smoother and I need less of it, fine lines are less noticeable, freckles are smaller. I like the pump dispenser. One pump covers my face neck and decolletage. Compared to other Retinoid products the price is reasonable. Couple of things. One, yes it will pill if you try to "rub it in" like your usual moisturizer. The way to use it is to spread a thin film all over your face and neck and let it dry before you get in bed. It will show a yellow color. That's what all vitamin A acid products look like. But once it dries it won't come off on your pillowcase or anything. Next, the pilling and the yellow color are good reasons not to wear it in the daytime. Because if you try to cover the yellow color of it with your foundation, it will pill. You can get the results from it with just night time use, anyway. Third, you might not want to use it every night. Take a break from it when you get peeling flaking skin or if your regular moisturizer starts to sting. Finally, sunscreen every day, even if you are not going outdoors. Make it a habit you don't even have to think about. If you're using any of the acidic products like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or vitamin A acid, sunscreen is part of life. Sun exposure is not that great anyway, but with these acidic products it is the kiss of death. Sunscreen is the thing.

Gave Admire My Skin Potent Retinoid Cream - Anti Aging Retinol Cream Moisturizer (and others in this line, including moisturizers, oil, salicylic mask etc.) a good try, wanting it (them) to work. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took several months for me to stop holding on to hope. I suppose the active ingredients are present, but using this product can be compared to building a sand castle one grain at a time. I saw minimal appearances of results with continuous use. To my surprise, two days without the product, which ran out when I was out of town at in-law's, of all places, the modicum of improvement I thought I saw had disappeared and my skin reverted as if I had not used Admire My Skin Potent Retinoid Cream - Anti Aging Retinol Cream Moisturizer for months before. I realized then that I needed to give up on Admire My Skin and find something that would actually nourish my skin rather than temporarily tighten or reduce the appearance of lines like parabens do. More so than seeking to provide results, it appears to me that profit is the main ingredient in Admire My Skin’s product line. Following the instructions, the product runs out without notice or warning. One could try and pump as one might, but not one more use will be had until buying more. That's it. More than once, ok, twice, alright, three times, I hurried to order more to at least have some continuity until I could find a nourishing product. Admire My Skin appears to be designed to run out without notice and if one isn't counting the days or subscribing, one day, one goes to pump and only air comes out. I think this company puts profits first, and that by including just enough retinoid or whatever to not advertise falsely while pushing for subscriptions by providing one no clue of the day it runs out. Some products that are similarly packaged to keep the ingredients from exposure to light are at least designed to gradually run out, so one can get a clue instead of a surprise. This product pumps equally, from the first to the last. At least mine did. I regret the money I spent and the months it took for me to move on from Admire My Skin products and their $2.00 coupons.
