I love this product just

I love this product just like the entire Algenist line. In 1 month I’ve seen my skin tone become more even, with a smooth, silky texture. My only suggestion for improvement is the packaging, (for all products that are pumped) please consider a clear container so the customer can see how much product is left. Especially if you want direct sales thru Algenist.com. I just ran out and I’ll buy at a retail store since I need a quick replacement.

Holy Grail

I have tried several different retinol products but this is the absolute best. I was able to see visible results from the first application. I had zero issues with dryness/irritation and purging, like I did with other competitor’s products. The only downside for me is the price but sometimes you do truly get what you pay for.

It makes my skin feel

It makes my skin feel so soft. It is not greasy at all. My light powder makeup can be applied right over it. It’s wonderful. I love it.
