Retinol Serum for Face, 1 Fluid Ounce, 1-Pack (Previously Amazon Basics)

This is by far more effective than any other retinol serum I’ve used before. When I think serum, I think of a translucent color, but this is creamy white and only a small amount is needed, and there is no offensive odor. I just reached 70 and have dry sensitive skin with larger pores. After a week of using this product once a day, I’ve noticed my skins texture looks and feels much better and lines around my lips are diminishing. I was hesitant to buy this, but the price point was affordable. Needless to say, I’m pleasantly surprised and will be buying more. If you’re using retinol for the first time you might want to apply it less frequent at first.

I have been using a name brand comparable product for the last year every single night. I saw this product and needed to try it immediately. Consistency is the exact same. Smell (or lack of) is the exact same. Bottle size is the exact same. Pumps are both of equal quality, no issues with either. And the results and effectiveness is the exact same. There is a slight difference in color, which plays not role in it's performance. The only important difference is this amazon brand is much cheaper. Save some money and give this a shot! It is great at reducing redness, smoothing skin tone and texture, and giving your skin some love. This is gentle enough for my very sensitive, very dry skin. Apply this and then a good moisturizer. I absolutely recommend.

Overall, a nice budget product for retinol skincare routine. Low irritation, non greasy, absorbs well, and seems to have positive effects on my aging skin. The one big negative is that the pump wastes a TON of product if you don't go through the hassle of breaking off the pump top and fishing out the remaining product (a substantial amount IMO). The pump needs a rework -- maybe a longer straw? I cannot believe how much was leftover when I inverted the bottle after removing the pump top. What a waste.

I decided to try after the Retinol moisturizing cream I was using was no longer available. There are so many to choose from and in my search came up Amazon Basics Retinol Serum. It works very well as it absorbs thoroughly into the skin, small wrinkles around mouth, eyes, and vertical lines above lip line are diminished. I then used on two age spots on my hand and after a couple of days it has lightened significantly and should be gone soon. Very pleased with this serum as it works as expected. Also, I don't think this has a scent and if it does, my nose is not picking it up although I am not fragrance intolerant.

I'm a 67-year-old woman who's always had great skin and keep my routine simple: lotion cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and retinol serum two or three times a week at night. I was using a popular drugstore brand. When I ran out, I compared ingredients with this Amazon Basics version - they were identical. I decided to give it a try. My skin is touchably soft in the morning after using this product. Retinol in general has reduced age-related dark spots, and this formula works just as well as the pricier brand I was using. Great quality at a better price - no reason to pay more!

A very excellent lotion. Dries fast. I would give it a 5 star if the pump worked efficiently I changed from this brand for one reason: the pump applicator does not function properly. There is only 1 oz. of serum in the bottle, but the pump fails to deliver a substantial portion of what remains in the bottle. So, I must take the lid off and force the remaining serum out, like ketchup from the bottle. I will try another brand.

I was skeptical on this product at first, but figured for a cheaper price, it wouldn't hurt to try it. I could always order the CeraVe serum if I didn't like it, so there was really nothing to lose. For reference, I'm a white woman with combination type skin (and I feel like it's sometimes difficult to find a good product that won't dry you out completely or make you super oily). The consistency of the Amazon serum is a tad thinner than CeraVe, which I liked. It goes on easy and dries very quickly without leaving my skin feeling sticky. As someone with some sensory/texture problems, I am so happy that it works the way it does. I have not had any sort of burning sensations, which I had occasionally with CeraVe. The pump is easy to use and serum comes out easily. I use about half of a pump to one pump of the Amazon serum nightly, followed by a moisturizer, and have noticed better results overall compared to when I was using CeraVe. Would recommend.

Absorb quickly and works with other products. Non greasy and I don’t notice a fragrance. Leaves my skin softer and brighter
