I am 3/4 of the way through the bottle and I definitely see and feel a difference. My face looks and feels softer and has a brighter, cleaner appearance. My face never feels oily after using this serum and I always feel clean after putting it on.

I really enjoyed using this product and it has quickly become part of my everyday skincare routine. It is a concentrated retinoid formula that is marketed towards people with sensitive skin looking for an anti-aging product. It helps with the look of fine lines and wrinkles while gently hydrating the face and neck. I was surprised by how strong the oil was when I first started using it (I have sensitive combo skin and I tend to break out very easily with skincare products) but I was pleasantly surprised how hydrated my skin looked the next day . It has helped the elasticity of my skin and it leaves a nice dewy look throughout the day. I would recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin seeking an everyday anti-aging product to help smooth the look of wrinkles and fine lines.

This serum is responsibly priced! A natural derived retinoid. It has no smell & soaks into skin beautifully & quickly! Immediately I see the fine lines & wrinkles begin to fill & plump! Three drops & you are set!! I will review again in 30 days to see if there has been any long term benefits! #josiemaran #naturals #skincare #lover Stay Tuned So I haven’t seen any long term effects from this serum. It’s very hydrating but no wrinkle reducing power. I cannot in good conscience recommend for wrinkle reduction product.

This is a fantastic beta retinol that is not only gentle but is very effective. My skin loves it. I notice a difference when I use it. Yes it is pricey but it is worth it.

I got this as a sample in a Sephora order and immediately ordered the full size. It’s a great light retinoid, I use in the PM and wake up glowing. Does have strong scent but dissipates after a bit.

It’s a retinol oil so it’s no where as drying as other retinol products. Woke up and my skin looked great each time I used it. Would purchase full size

This is definitely not a product for oily skin it just makes your face greasy hair and I didn’t see any purpose for it I feel this is for somebody with dry to normal skin definitely not a product I got a sample from Sephora and I wouldn’t recommend it for somebody with combination to oily skin

I’ve been using this serum for several weeks and my impression of the product was that it was more of an oil than a serum, I also felt that it does not work well as a retinol but as a moisturizer. The consistency, as I said before, is super oily, heavy, it’s not easily absorbed, that’s why I was using it only at night. I noticed that my skin looks much more hydrated during the day but nothing special. If you are looking for a moisturizing oil, I recommend it, but if it’s Retinoid, skip this and go for Shani Darden’s formul, that works great.

I love this product. It soaks in to the skin . It doesn’t feel greasy. It has a slight smell to it . Due to the Argan oil . It does sting the first day you use it . But it’s not uncomfortable. I would buy the full size to test it out more . 

I love this lightweight retinol serum from Josie Maran and I was so glad to get a free sample to test it out before buying the full size since it is pricier. So far it has made my skin look and feel more youthful
