Product Description

VISIBLY REDUCE WRINKLES, EVEN DEEP WRINKLES. Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum with 0.3% Pure Retinol is our most potent and has our highest concentration of Pure Retinol. So effective, in a clinical study, 100% of women showed reduction in wrinkles, even deep ones*. This serum is free of fragrance, silicone and parabens and was validated by an external panel of dermatologists**. WHAT IS PURE RETINOL? Pure Retinol is a top dermatologist recommended anti-aging ingredient proven to fight key signs of aging such as wrinkles, even deep ones. With many retinols available in skincare, look for those that say PURE. WHY CHOOSE PURE RETINOL? Pure retinol—considered to be the most potent form of retinol—is known to be more effective than retinol derivatives, but it degrades over time. This patent-pending night serum was specially formulated to remain very stable. What does this mean? It is potent and effective from the first drop to the last - giving you powerful anti-aging results with continued use. SEE VISIBLE RESULTS. After day 1, skin feels moisturized and texture feels more refined. Overtime, wrinkles and deep wrinkles are visibly reduced, skin is smoother, and complexion is brighter. This serum is allergy tested, absorbs quickly, and does not clog pores. STARTING A PURE RETINOL ROUTINE. This product contains high potency retinol which may cause initial redness, tingling or dryness which is normal even if you've used Retinol before. Your skin may need time to get used to this powerful serum, so it’s important to introduce it gradually. Use a couple of times a week at first and slowly move to nightly use. Read product carton before use. SPF LOTION REMINDER. When using retinol products, always use an SPF Lotion in the morning, such as Revitalift Triple Power SPF 30 Lotion. *Results based on a 12-week clinical study of women aged 35-75 when used as directed. **An external panel of dermatologists validated that Revitalift Derm Intensives serums uphold strict formulation standards and reviewed independent clinical testing results and protocols.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful serum, if used ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021

Not only is this a superior form of retinol, but it's a pretty strong potency for the price. I have been using retinol for about 20 years, but I gradually increased my potency as I've gotten older. If you are a newbie to retinol, PLEASE follow the direction. 1 to 2 drops twice a week. Really, if you are a newbie or have sensitive skin, the practical thing to do with any new product that is going to go on your face, is do a patch test first, right at your inner elbow area. Wait 24 hrs. If you have a reaction, this is not the product for you at this time. Try a lower strength of retinol, but make sure you distinguish what form of retinol it is, because each one has diffetent potencies. For those with sensitive skin, you may be better off trying Grandoid retinoids, which is much gentler to skin than retinol. I have used some retinols that I swear didnt contain retinol, so its best to read up on what the best retinol product is for you. Revitalift is highly praised by many retinol enthusiasts, which is what made me buy. I just purchased my 2nd bottle because I just absolutely love it. It feels nice on the skin, plus it absorbs really quickly into the skin. I follow up with a very hydrating night cream because it is essential to do 2 things when using retinol, 1.Moisturize afterward 2.Wear SPF Daily if outdoors. And PLEASE do follow the directions, as others have said. Its ridiculous to post pictures of your red face warning people not to buy this product. Did you start out with 1-2 drops twice a week, followed up with a rich moisterizer? Are you wearing SPF daily? Did you read that this is a moderately strong retinol that takes getting used to? That burning and redness means the product is working!!! Don't blame Loreal for your lack of common sense. They explain this product perfectly. The directions that come with the serum arent just there for show, folks. This is one of the best drug store retinol serums on the market. Please, people, use it with care, educate yourself. Don't spoil it for other people.

4.0 out of 5 stars The jury is still out on this since it can take 6-12 months to see any results.
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022

Let's face it none of us wants to accept wrinkles or any other effects of aging. I am 75 years old, and fortunately inherited good genes from my mother, so I don't have a lot of wrinkles. I have noticed than my cheek "apples" have fallen and gravity is doing a job on the skin on my neck, not to mention other parts of my body.

Prior to buying this retinol crème, I did some research to find out if it would help or would be another waste of time and money. What I found out is that retinoids can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color. Additional benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches of skin. However, it takes three to six months of regular use before improvements in wrinkles are apparent—and the best results take six to 12 months.

Retinoids and retinols change how a cell functions, specifically the speed at which a cell turns over, or divides, to create new cells. Retinoids encourage skin cells to divide more rapidly, building up the protective top layer of skin, the epidermis. As we age, there is a decline in the natural production of collagen and elastic fibers that give your skin lift and bounce in the epidermis. That makes our skin more frail and thin, which leads to wrinkles, sun spots and other types of visible skin damage.

Retinoids help mitigate those issues in a variety of ways. They thicken the epidermis through increased cell proliferation at the top level. They increase the production of natural chemicals (such as hyaluronic acid) in your skin that keep it plump and moist. They stimulate collagen production and inhibit the breakdown of collagen that already exists. They also block several inflammatory pathways that exacerbate pimples and acne.

There are definitely side effects with both retinols and retinoids, but they're temporary, lasting around three to four weeks. The most common side effects are redness, dry and scaly skin and itching or burning. Wear a sunscreen during the day because retinoids increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. It is also to use a moisturizer when using retinol products. I use a moisturizer before applying this product, and another reviewer used the moisturizer after. I'm not sure if the sequence is important, but I feel using the moisturizer before this product is prepping my skin for use of the retinol. These drugs must be used continually to maintain their benefits. So, if retinol works for you, the benefits can be maintained only with continual use.

Personally, I can't honestly say this product has done anything for me as yet. I don't have sensitive skin so I had no side effects. This product says there is .3% of retinol which is a very small percentage. This seems to be an acceptable and effective percentage of retinol. I haven't used this product for 12 months, but so far, it hasn't done anything for me. I suppose that waiting for 12 months for something to work means more to me now than if I was 50 years old or younger.

I hope this review was helpful for you.

I have sensitive skin and have caused swelling before from over doing it with glycolic acid, so after seeing all the pictures in the reviews of people with swelling and flaking skin I wanted to be very careful. I use ONE drop, yes a SINGLE drop mixed into 2.5 pumps of Curel Fragrance Free Lotion. I spread it over my face, neck, and hands. I do this every three days. In one week the results are very clear. My wrinkles are reducing, my color is much better, and I have no side effects, no burning, nothing. I may increase to two drops but honestly I am getting great results with just one drop. This is very powerful stuff. It also continues to work the day after you use it. This is not like Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid, the Retinol molecules are very small and they get deep into your skin. So if you put too much it is not like you can just wash it off. Take it slow, you will get results even with just one drop a few times per week. I am 51 by the way.

This is great night serum. it has no smell nor after effect. However, sometimes it causes a little rash. My main issue is that the amount is small it barely lasts a month
