Love so much I subscribe+save! Just one issue...
This is by far the best retinol cream I've found! I'm 40, and use this as part of a solid skin care program - high strength retinol, factor 50 sunscreen, collagen supplements, and daily microcurrent treatment. I love this so much I subscribe and save! The only reason I've knocked it down to four stars is the packaging. The pump bottle regularly gives up while there's still a fair amount of product left - I end up hacking the bottle apart to salvage the rest of the cream. Why can't we have it in a normal pot? Pleeeeeeease?!!!

Fabulous..but don’t use with UV light
This cream feels really nice, I’m a Beauty Therapist with quite good skin at 50.. it’s not too rich but no drying feeling either. Unfortunately because of the fabulous weather we are experiencing I have only used it at night due to retinol being contra-indicative with UV .. this being the reason for 4 stars.. and I haven’t really used it for long enough to see a difference .. though the cost and 100ml is enough to ensure I buy again.. no horrid nasty aftertaste when on the lips! Would like to buy a 200ml to save on plastic.. and would be good to have a return bottle for refill scheme!Definately will buy again! And such a nice email to receive from the company too.

Finally an acne cure?! So far!!!
After thinking I had tried everything out there for adult acne and whilst waiting for my dermatology referral, just 2 months before my wedding I decided to spend £20 and give this a go. I’ve used it every morning and every evening since, It lasts such a fantastically long time AND finally my face is at the stage where I wouldn’t need to wear make up at all, from having horrendous skin unable to even cover it with double wear I now only have 1 active! I have a few scars that I’m hoping will fade but for me this is a real miracle cream. Please don’t ever stop selling it or change the formula because after 15 years of trying what I thought was everything, this WORKS!!P.s it didn’t happen overnight, you must persevere for at least 8 weeks. Good luck

My HG OC retinol cream <3
I have been using this product for a month and a half, and I absolutely love it.It did break me out a little to start off with, but it subsided after about 3 weeks. I started of using it twice a week, and then slowly increased it to every other day (I have super sensitive skin, it's ridiculous).I use it at night only, after cleansing. I use about half a pump. After I rub the cream in to my skin I like to let it sit and fully absorb (about 30 mins) before I apply the next step in my skin care routine (serum + heavy moisturizer).Pros: - Smile lines have decreased - Skin texture has improved - "Bouncyness" of skin has increased - Smells alright, kinda medicine-ish somehow, but not in a bad way - Good pump & nice packaging - Fast delivery - Insane amount of creamCons: - Takes a while to absorb, especially if skin is moist - Can't see how much cream is left

Ethical, effective and great value retinol product.
This is a fabulous cream that feels beautifully silky, smells freshingly delicate and hydrates the skin without feeling greasy or heavy in any way. I have been using this cream and the retinol serum for a good year and am delighted with the lasting results. My face feels fabulous. Furthermore, the cream is a brilliant foundation primer. My face feels/ looks better now in my late 40s than it did a few years ago before discovering retinol.I bought this product primarily because of it's ethical standards and support of women in Morocco. It's not an overpriced, load of hype, big company product sold by the face of some rich 20's something botoxed model. It's a responsibly sourced, honest, well priced, excellently produced cream that I LOVE and that WORKS!I have never written a review of anything I have bought on Amazon, but if my review can help support this responsible manufacturer (Poppy Austin) and help some potential customers to try this cream (and the retinol serum) instead of spending hideous amounts on other retinol products from the huge make up companies, then I hope this helps.The bottom line is that this cream does exactly what it says on the tin, it's very good value and you can sleep easy knowing that you have helped support women into more financially independent lives in a country where women may not be as fortunate as yourself.I am going to keep using this cream as long as it's produced.... hopefully for decades to come!

Retinol is a game changer for acne and anti-aging and this cream is lovely
Retinol has been transformative for my skin in terms of improving my spots and blackheads, reducing fine lines and improving overall skin tone. I had been using The Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid and, though it works well, I didn't like the sticky texture which took ages to sink in.I'm so glad I found this. It's a thick, smooth cream that absorbs quickly. I like that it's moisturising as retinol can be drying and cause peeling so the shea butter and vitamin E in this help balance that. It's not heavy though, it just leaves the skin feeling lovely and smooth immediately and more radiant when I wake up the next morning. I also like that it's not tested on animals and that the ingredients are nearly all natural.Remember with retinol products you do need to be patient as it can be at least 12 weeks before you see any results and you may experience things getting worse before they get better with peeling and purging in that time. I had already used retinol products for many months before using this so didn't notice any peeling but you may do if you are new to retinol. I have noticed a reduction in fine lines and my overall skin tone and texture.I think this product is wonderful and amazing value given that it's 3x the size of The Ordinary products and will last for ages!If you found my review helpful, please click the button below.

but it got too bad for me to be able to continue
Unfortunately, I’ve had to stop using the product as it was causing breakouts. I was using it for over a month, hoping my skin would get used to it, but it got too bad for me to be able to continue. The spots I was getting from it were located in rather random places on my face, so at least I could tell it was the product rather than just regular spots.
