Farmacy Retinol Serum for Face - 1% Vitamin A Anti Aging Serum - Resurfacing Wrinkle Serum Formulated with Encapsulated Retinol + Ceramide NP to Prevent Moisture Loss + Replenish Skin Barrier (30ml)

I chose this product based on its reviews. I noticed a difference in my skin’s appearance within a week. I only use it nightly. I did not experience any peeling or redness, just smooth, younger looking skin. I love it so much I bought a 2nd bottle to be sure I don’t run out. It has a slightly oily feel at first but you only use it at bed time and it does not have much of a fragrance. I love this one and highly recommend.

I feel like I noticed a little bit of a difference in my skin. I didnt really like the scent though.

This is a great serum. It goes on smoothly and a little goes a long way. It's lightweight and has a mild pleasant scent. My skin feels kinda healthier and firmer after using it for a while. Love it!

Farmacy Retinol Serum for FaceI really love Farmacy products and I was super happy to see new retinol without fragrance. Their formulas are usually spot on and there is something for everyone. It still has a slight chemical smell but that fades quickly. This off-white cream sinks in quickly and feels wonderful. It is very hydrating and soothing. This has a good base of retinol, glycerin, and ceramides. This is an excellent starter cream for people that haven't used much of retinol in the past since it is very effective but gentle.This comes in a white plastic bottle with a white plastic lid and everything can be recycled. There is a built-in vacuum pump dispenser which helps to keep the cream clean and effective. There is no expiration date on the container but this should be used 12 months after opening. You get 30ml ounces and this is made in the USA.#alcohol-free #fragrance & essential oil-freeKey IngredientsAntioxidant: Tocopheryl Retinoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Ethyl Ferulate, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, UbiquinoneCell-communicating ingredient: RetinalExfoliant: Lactic AcidSkin-identical ingredient: Glycerin, Ceramide NP, ArginineSoothing: Panthenol, Bisabolol, Allantoin, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root ExtractALL INGREDIENTS BY FUNCTIONAntimicrobial/antibacterial: Humulus Lupulus (Hops) ExtractBuffering: Lactic Acid, Citric AcidChelating: Sodium PhytateEmollient: Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Isopentyldiol, Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Retinoate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Glyceryl Dioleate, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed OilEmulsifying: Polysorbate 20, Sorbitan IsostearateMoisturizer/humectant: Glycerin, Isopentyldiol, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Retinoate, Propanediol, Lactic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Fructose, GlucosePerfuming: Humulus Lupulus (Hops) ExtractPreservative: Pongamia Glabra Seed OilSolvent: Water/​Aqua/​Eau, Isopentyldiol, 1,2-Hexanediol, PropanediolSurfactant/cleansing: Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Polysorbate 20Viscosity controlling: Triolein, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/​Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cellulose Gum, Sclerotium Gum, Cellulose, Xanthan GumIngredients:Water/Aqua/Eau Glycerin Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Isopentyldiol Trioctyldodecyl Citrate Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil 1,2-Hexanediol Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil Panthenol Triolein Retinal Ceramide Np Tocopherol Retinol Tocopheryl Acetate Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil Glyceryl Dioleate Bisabolol Allantoin Dunaliella Salina Extract Ethyl Ferulate Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract Arginine Propanediol Cellulose Gum Sclerotium Gum Ubiquinone Lactic Acid Sodium Phytate Caprylyl Glycol Inulin Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Polysorbate 20 Citric Acid Cellulose Fructose Glucose Sorbitan Isostearate Xanthan Gum

I usually love Farmacy products but either this product turned/oxidized or was unsuitable. It smelled terrible and while the consistency is a lightweight glycerin/water-based gel, it did not seem like it was the consistency I was expecting. The ingredient list didn’t leave me to think it would smell or act like this, so I think this was a quality control issue.

I like that the cream isn't heavy. You dont need to use it every day to see results. Easy directions. Don't need a lot.

This Farmacy 1% Vitamin A Serum with retinal and retinol is potent yet agrees well with my mature, dry and sensitive skin, while many retinol products make my skin look and feel miserable. I used this serum 2x-3x a week at night followed by a comforting night cream for just about 4 weeks while I also continued use of my favorite staples, such as Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. I don’t use retinol products during the day due to the health risk of mixing retinol with sun. I always wear sunscreen during the day even though using this serum at night.This yellowish serum is potent but well tolerated and pleasing as it’s creamy yet lightweight, absorbs well and doesn’t feel sticky. It hasn’t made my skin itchy, dry or flakey. It’s fragrance free and has barely any smell. I actually notice a difference from using this serum in that my skin looks so clear and more even, it appears smoother and firmer, and my lines look softer and minimized. While I briefly paused use to try another retinol product, but this is a serum I’m continuing to use as I see benefits and it’s so easy to stick with. Love it. 5 stars.

The box was empty , used, and became damaged. It seems that someone returned it and shipped it back to me
