She looks fabulous so I decided to give it a whirl. Things you should know: 1. My beauty routine consisted of occasionally washing my face. And by occasional— I mean rarely. 2. I was always fortunate to have ‘good’ skin it didn’t break out or have big pores BUT it was super sensitive. 3. I’m lazy and will not do anything that requires a lot of work. 4. I’m 50. The pictures are in order of progress — blue top was day of first application —the next 3 are from the first 10 days and the last one is as of tonight. With all that said — I was instructed in detail about using the product. 1. Start slow — every other night 2. Keep it away from your eyes. 3. Use sunscreen and be very careful going out in the sun after a treatment. I started slow (2 applications following the instructions) and did not put it ‘near’ my eyes. I stop at my brow and just below my darks circles. It burned my skin off as if I was in Chernobyl when it exploded. It was AWFUL and it took 10 days to heal. (See pics) What I realized was with my sensitive skin I really should have put more time between applications. So once I healed — I then waited 6 days between applications as I had some dryness and a little sensitivity on my cheeks. I’ve been using the product now for a little over 3 weeks only had 4 applications and I’m already seeing marked improvement. My “11s” are much less obvious (see pics). My skin looks brighter and healthier. Lastly it’s a smooth as a baby’s rump — I suspect that has a lot to do with burning off the top 4 layers of skin, but I digress. This product is intense but effective. It will burn if you don’t ease into using it. Also — when they say don’t put it on your eyes — what they mean is anywhere near your eyes. Give a wide birth or else you risk having your face look like mine did. My eyelids were literally burned and I never touched them with the product that’s how strong it is. Now I keep it focused on my cheeks and a very tiny amount on the side of my eye for those dreaded crows feet. Other things of note: this is part of a very simple routine. Morning 1. Wash face 2. Use hyaluronic acid serum 3. Use Vitamin C serum Evening 1. Wash face 2. Use Retinol (slow at first - then work up to the right cadence for you) 3. Use moisturizer I use Beauty Counter products for the serums I use in the morning. I use Verse for my sunscreen and moisturizer. Obviously, PC’s retinol Cerave Moisturizing Face Wash I purchased everything except the Beauty Counter products through desertcart. I love all of the products and will continue using them. Hope this helps you make good decisions. Review: Great Retinol Treatment for Fine Lines! - I absolutely love this retinol treatment! It feels lightweight and absorbs nicely without leaving my skin greasy. With consistent use, my skin looks smoother, brighter, and more refined, and I’ve noticed it really helps with the appearance of fine lines. If you’re new to retinol, I recommend starting slowly. I started by applying a small amount to my forehead about twice a week and gradually introduced it to other areas, such as my cheeks, once my skin became accustomed to it. This product has become an important part of my skincare routine, and I’m very happy with the results! ## Features - DIMINISH THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES: This high-strength formula absorbs quickly & delivers immediate powerful results.

Start 3x weekly and increase as tolerated. For AM, always finish with SPF. **Q: What should I do if I experience a skin reaction after using retinol?** A: If your 1% Retinol Treatment causes redness or excessive dryness, reduce frequency for the next two weeks to assess tolerance. If irritation does not improve, discontinue use. **Q: How does the CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment compare to prescription retinoids?** A: 1% retinol is milder than a prescription retinoid, but it still delivers similar anti-aging and pore-refining results over time. And, unlike most prescription retinoids, our treatment contains soothing ingredients to help reduce redness and flaking. **Q: Is the CLINICAL 1% Retinol Treatment fragrance-free?** A: Yes, though you may notice a mild, naturally occurring scent due to the product's ingredients. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this before you start using it!!! *by C***D on April 3, 2022* I was introduced to this product by a friend who has similar skin/complexion.
