CLINICALLY PROVEN OXYGEN STABLE RETINOL:SkinPep® Ultra Retinol 0.5% helps stimulate cell regeneration and build collagen to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots from both photo-and intrinsic aging. Additionally, it helps minimise the appearance of pore size, while correcting blemishes and blotchiness often associated with problematic skin. SkinPep® Ultra Retinol 0.5% is recommended for blemished, wrinkled and sun damaged skin.SODIUM HYALURONATE:is a source of hyaluronic acid. Its name is derived from the Greek word hualos, meaning glass because of its transparent, glassy appearance. Hyaluronic Acid is moisture retaining ingredient and humectant. Hyaluronic acid is a natural skin cell component, found in the deepest levels of the dermis. It is able to hold 200 times its weight in water, which makes it an excellent moisturiser. It is found more in younger skins with levels declining over the years.

This is the real deal!
These 2 products combined are superb! I have only used this product about 5 times but the results are astounding. I mixed a modicum amount as per the directions on the box, then increased each day to see how my skin would react. So far, so good! Works expeditiously! Skin is hydrated and firmer. This targets dark eye circles, sun spots, acne scars, and wrinkles! My skin is radiant! The under eye circles were diminished almost overnight and some of the other marks have faded! Please be careful and do not use close to eyes though! My circles were not that close to my eyes, so I was able to still target them without irritation. Remember to exfoliate skin so that the product penetrates deeper into the skin and wear a Malibu Face Cream 50 SPF sunscreen during the day, because the one specifically made for the face absorbs way better without being too butyraceous.Update:For several months I have been trying to clear up a sudden outbreak of acne along my jawline. Nothing seemed to work and I had forgotten about this product, which led to me purchasing 3 other brands. This one wins, hands down.Use with Boots AHA Serum if you are in the U.K. and you will love your new skin! I will continue to purchase this brand. The price and results are amazing!!!

WORKS! I have decided to try Skinpep's other products.
I've been hunting for a decent retinol cream and this by far has genuinely worked best. Strictly follow the instructions, especially wearing SPF daily. Wearing SPF daily is the best thing you can do to protect your skin. My dermatologist recommended that I use retinol but I didn't want the fuss of constantly having to go back to get prescription grade refills. In the past I have used SKII but it's overpriced here in the UK and harder to come by. I also can't trust some online retailers selling genuine products.It takes up to 8 weeks to see a difference for prescription grade retinol, and up to 6 months for non-prescription. I noticed a difference within 3 weeks. I guess this differs from person to person depending on the state of your skin. My skin is looking better and clearer by the week.The hyaluronic acid serum has definitely given a moisture boost for my skin. I have terribly sensitive skin and I generally have to avoid cosmetics with fragrance in it because it is a well known irritant for sensitive skin. The retinol cream dries and tightens your skin, the serum really works well hand in hand.I am so pleased with this brand that I've purchased other products from them.

I mainly wanted to try a different Retinol product to the one that I was already using and the sample size you can buy is ideal for a trial sample. Then I saw these two items on offer (Retinol and Hydra Boost) as a duo for £10.99 so I thought why not. I am still using the Retinol, you only need a small amount and it goes a long way, but I am really impressed! The Retinol is described as a serum but it is more like a cream at least in comparison to the one that I already had from a competitor, and I prefer it that it is not so runny. I will definitely buy it again when this little tube is finished and it will be replacing my other one which is a lot more expensive but in my opinion not so effective.As for the Hydra Boost: I have found that it is a good base for make-up.

Strong retinol cream
The retinol cream is very strong. I didn’t clock this - was expecting maybe a mild reaction after multiple applications, which is what’s happened to me in the past with retinol products. But after the first use of this cream I had a slight rash, after the second, a big patch of lumpy eczema which took a few days to clear. After that, I’m too scared to try again! This isn’t necessarily a criticism, just to say, it is strong stuff - be careful! The Hydra Boost serum is the total opposite - soothing and watery, just adds extra moisture. A good first layer for my skincare routine.

Amazing for acne!
I’ve never suffered from acne before (I’m 26), but since a change of contraception I had a massive breakout. My friend recommended 0.5% Retinol in a different brand, but their product was £58! This was exactly the same ingredients, so thought I’d give it a try. After one application & 2 days the improvement in my skin is absolutely amazing. The redness has calmed down so much and my acne is already healing well. I imagine my skin will be completely clear in about 4 days. Anyone having trouble with acne, I would definitely recommend. The only thing I would stress is that a minimum of SPF30 should be used, while using this product, as the regeneration of new skin cells can make you more succeptible to sunburn.

I am using this with a collegen shot supplement. I don't know which one is working but my skin does look plumper and less wrinkly.But the stuff in the brown tube smells awful, so after I have rubbed it in well, I tend to add another face cream over the top to mask the smell
