LilyAna Naturals Anti Aging Retinol Face Cream for Women – Wrinkle & Neck Cream for Firming, Retinol Moisturizer for Face with Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrating Night Cream for Fine Lines, Collagen Boost

I am fighting age tooth and nail. I have tried a large range of retinol products and this one is hands down the best bang for your buck. It’s moisturizing but not greasy. I would say it’s a solid 5/10 in the light - heavy scale. Right in the middle, which I like. It’s lightly buttery so I feel moisturized going to bed, but it’s also not so heavy that I’m leaving grease stains on my pillow. The results are not instant but I have noticed a decrease in the fine lines under my eyes. My bottle is almost empty and I will be buying this product again! For reference I am 39, spend a moderate amount of time outside, and use Sunscreen on my face. When I was on the early 2000’s tanning bandwagon, I always covered my face with a UV cloth.

I haven't seen a difference at all lol This product is more like an overall body lotion instead of a face cream. It's a good price. Product is not greasy which I like and not a heavy cream which is a plus. It doesn't have a scent and does make your skin soft. Absorbs nicely and very quickly so you need to use a bit more. Overall good quality.Update: I have been using this now for a few months and I have seen a great improvement on my arms. I'm 67 so I started to get crepy arms and I started to use this nightly in my arms and within a few days my arms started looking better again and now I'm wearing short sleeves again. I see people giving less then 5 stars because they got a pump bottle instead of a tube but I need the pump bottle so if the seller could put up a listing for the pump bottle I would like to purchase it.

When I ordered this product, I was just beginning my journey with skincare products. As I entered my 30's, I wanted a night cream that would be an overall general moisturizer with good quality at an affordable price. For that category, this product fits the bill perfectly. Since I ordered this product 18 months ago, I've learned that Retinol gives me some redness on my cheeks, and the texture is a bit waxy and the smell artificial, but overall this is an excellent product for someone who is brand new to skincare and doesn't know where to start. Since ordering this, I've learned that I prefer products with hyaluronic acid, collagen or Vitamin C over those with Retinol. Everyone's skin is different and it was the reviews that led me to order this product, so I don't think you should be dissuaded based on what I've just said. At the price point, this product is definitely worth a try. If it works well for you, excellent. If it doesn't, it won't hurt to throw it out or phase it out of your routine. As it stand right now, I've used it sporadically over 18 months and the product has just run out. I won't reorder it, but I'm grateful for it teaching me a lesson in skincare at an accessible level. For those starting out with skincare, I'd recommend applying this product after washing off makeup with micellar water, either applied on pads or in a wipe, then rinsing with cool water. I dry my face then apply the cream. In the morning, I wash my face again with cool water and spritz with rose water, then apply a hyaluronic acid toner, let absorb, and follow up with a collagen moisturizer, let absorb, then apply an overall glowing face primer before starting makeup. My skin has had less breakouts, less imperfections, and had more glow since I started using this cream. A perfect place to start for someone new to skincare. I knocked off two stars due to the chemical smell and the redness it can cause on my cheeks when used daily.

The LilyAna Retinol Cream is a very nice facial lotion that goes on smoothly and absorbs well, leaving face soft and moisturized but not greasy. I did not detect any scent from it. I have sensitive skin that’s prone to breakouts, but have no problems with this lotion.

Nice and creamy, but no change in wrinkles

I'm in my early 30's and starting to be concerned about wrinkles around my eyes, especially underneath my eyes. I guess I've been squinting so much (I need reading glasses) the past couple years, that I have some permanent wrinkles even when I relax my eyes. The skin below my eyes is also starting to look really dry, even though the rest of my face is really oily and acne prone. So I did some research online and it looked like I needed to try some retinol cream. I also have some hormonal acne on my jawline that has shown up over the past several months due to a change in birth control, so I constantly have light brown spots from where the acne is healing, that take forever to fade away ("Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation"). I was hoping the retinol would help those brown spots fade faster, by increasing cell turnover. I searched on Amazon and came upon this brand of retinol cream and decided to try it. I love the retro design of the label by the way.I've been using it for a week now, and I'm really pleased with it. I just jumped right in and started using it morning and night because my skin is NOT sensitive and I already use salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide regularly, so I knew this stuff probably wasn't going to "burn" my skin. It didn't even tingle. I wash my face like normal (sometimes I still exfoliate with apricot scrub if my skin feels grimy with lots of oil and makeup), then I use the retinol cream all over my face (including eyelids and lips), neck, and chest. After it dries for a few minutes, in the morning I use Neutrogena Naturals Brightening Daily Moisturizer SPF 25 1.7 oz. By the second day the skin on my neck and chest was amazingly smooth and silky - I hadn't even realized that I needed help in those areas. I think my skin in general just has particularly slow skin-cell turnover because I tend to have thick dry skin and could exfoliate with the harshest apricot scrub and never have any problems from it. By day 2 or 3 I noticed the skin around my eyes was smoother and not as dry looking and my whole face looked shinier and smoother like I had exfoliated and used salicylic acid. By the way, at first I stopped using my acne creams/gels because I wanted to see how the retinol cream worked on its own. It did improve the jawline acne marks/pigmentation. After a few days I had to use my acne products again because I had a few zits that I wanted to get under control. I searched online to see if it was safe to use them all together, and some websites say not to because it can be too irritating, but like I said before, I have tough skin. So at night, after washing my face and putting the retinol cream on, I dabbed some salicylic acid gel on my zits overnight and I had no adverse effects. The next night I needed something stronger for the zits, so after I put the retinol cream all over, I dabbed benzoyl peroxide on my zits. I must have gotten some benzoyl peroxide on my neck, because it started to burn and I had to rinse my neck off. I guess my tough skin draws the line at retinol and benzoyl peroxide when it's on thin delicate skin, like the neck. But my face was fine, so I will continue to use those products together when needed.The thing that I like most about retinol cream, is that I can use it on my eyelids. Whenever I used salicylic acid or alpha hydroxy acid, I had to be very careful to avoid the skin around my eyes or I'd wake up with red, swollen, "burned" skin (same with benzoyl peroxide). Those products made the rest of the skin on my face look smooth and youthful, but my poor eye area was getting all dried out and wrinkled. I had tried a couple different eye creams without much success over the past year (Oil of Olay, and L'oreal). So, I'm glad I found this product, and I'm going to keep using it and see how it continues to work around my eyes. I mostly just use it on my face and neck now because I don't want to waste it. If my chest starts to look dull, I will just use it for a day or two to make it looks smooth again.
