LilyAna Naturals - Shai88 review for Retinol Cream Moisturizer

This if formulated with 0.5% retinol and claims to nourish the skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, acne spots, and UV damage. First off, I love the packaging--an airless pump with vintage print/illustration. This cream is said to be suitable for daytime use too but since retinol increases sun sensitivity so I only use this at night, post toning and eye cream, on a completely dry face. I do not detect any scent at all. This glides on like a dream, gets absorbed after a few tap tap tap. This didn't irritate my face at all. I didn't even experience any redness or warmth (which I usually get when I apply actives). While I haven't observed any drastic changes, what I did notice was that my hormonal acne would pop and heal quickly (3 days max). I did a massive decluttering 2 weeks ago and noticed tiny bumps surfaced on my left cheek (always the left side, lol!) the following day. They were gone after 2 days when normally it would take at least over a week. I actually like this, perfect for nights when I am too tired to do a 100-step routine. Let's see how this will fare in the next few weeks.
