thecurlymess review for Retinol Advanced Firming Cream

I got this retinol cream for my body since the jar is huuuge and its pretty affordable. Wanted to show my body some love too ! I got it off iherb. Feel free to use my promo code ACB5045 for an extra discount. It comes in a huge 454 g jar with a pump. Packaging is smart because even after your pump stops bringing any product out, you can twist the jar open and use this product to the last drop. This is a retinol cream though the retinol % isnt disclosed. It also contains green tea, aloe vera, and chamomile. I got this body to battle any hyperpigmentation, texture, or old acne scars on my body, and as an "anti-aging" product for my body. Its a light cream, takes a min or two to blend in, but it absorbs super quick and doesnt feel sticky or tacky at all. I usually apply it right after my shower on damp skin to reap more of the benefits. I usually apply it daily or every other day at night. Its not very moisturizing, but then again its not the purpose of the product. But its moisturizing enough that my skin doesnt look scaly. It hasnt caused any peeling except around my pits. Nothing major just slight peeling. After a month & almost emptying my first jar, I've started noticing subtle changes in my body. My body acne is dying down, and old scars are slowly fading. So this product definitely works but it needs consistency and patience. If you have your skin exposed to the sun the next day, pls dont forget to apply SPF, and reapply as needed. P.S. This is actually intended for the face, neck, and hands so its a well rounded product that you can use on face & body if you're looking for an affordable beginner retinol product.
