Vitamin A Glow Retinol Serum

product review positives
I received this product for free from Picky and HANSKIN in exchange for my honest review. If you’ve seen my channel I’ve talked about how I tend to prefer retinol serums like this one. For some reason my skin tends to handle them even better than creams (maybe it’s because the dose is lower). However I also love the fact that this serum is a cream based option with multiple oils, so it’s nice and hydrating for my dry leaning skin. I chose not to use it on the same day as the retinol cream from this line, and that way my flaky skin was kept at bay. This is a 0.1% pure retinol, meant to be gentle ‘starter’ formula for people who are new to the ingredient. For those who don’t know, retinol not only can help with fine lines and wrinkles, but it can also help with acne. One of the leading causes of acne is dry skin build up (which I definitely get), and retinol helps promote skin cell turn over. I ended up starting retinols in my mid twenties due to my acne, and I definitely see a difference since introducing retinols. Something I noticed immediately with this product is the fact that it features vitamin C as well. Usually, that ingredient is not suggested to be put together with retinol (especially when mixing and matching products in your routine if you have sensitive skin), but I found that the ingredients complimented one another in this formula. This being a unique product with both ingredients means it is a great formula for not only helping with fine lines and wrinkles, but also helping with preventing acne and helping with post acne hyperpigmentation. It is free of silicones, artificial fragrance, and sulfates. What you may smell is not overpowering in my opinion, and I have a sensitive nose. The scent comes from the essential oils in the formula like bergamot and orange peel oil for example. Overall I was really happy with the texture of this, it is a rich creamy formula. As long as I didn’t mix it with acids in my routine (like AHA’s, BHA’s, or PHa’s), and I wore SPF when I went out in the sun, my skin ended up enjoying this formula.
product review negatives
At first I was worried I was getting flaking from this product, but once I did a reset of my skin (by not using actives for a day or two and focusing on moisture), I realized it was because I had accidentally been over cleansing for a couple of days like when I was younger. Once I cut down my cleansing, my flakiness with this product went away. As always I test these products multiple times before giving reviews, because sometimes I know it’s not the products, it was my mistake. And this time it was me. Overall, I ended up being really happy with everything about this product! The texture is nice and rich without feeling greasy. Even though this is a cream based serum, I still suggest using a moisturizer after even if you have oily skin because retinols can often lead to dry patches as I mentioned above. Even in people with more oily skin. Good luck on your retinol journey!
