    Amazing

    I bought this on a whim because I wanted a body retinol with good ingredients. I'm beyond shocked at the results, I've used it for about a week so far and a scar I got this past summer from a mosquito bite has lightened drastically. I'm a dark skinned African American male, so I tend to get dark spots easily and quickly from mosquito bites. This scar from this bite in particular was the worst. Looking forward to further results from this.

    Love this stuff

    I’m 1 yr postpartum with my second babe and I’ve been using this a few times a week when i remember. I feel like it’s really helping with the skin on my stomach.. i never got stretch marks but my skin was definitely stretched to the max. Love how fast this absorbs so I’m able to use it often.

    Makes a different difference

    I have been using retin A on my face for probably 25 years and it really works but I didn’t really think about using a retinol on my body . I am now on my third bottle of this and although it is obviously not the same strength of a facial prescription it does transform my skin . Smoother and more refined looking . I use it a few times a week interspersed with my usual body washes .
