The substance is a bright yellow color and an unusual consistency: usually serum more thin, watery, and this - thickish, and therefore an even distribution of it on the face can cause the habit some difficulties. Nothing wrong with that: after a couple of days, you can adapt himself. After a while it starts to like it even more than the "watery" serum: nothing is flowing, there is no possibility to overdo it with the amount. Plus, the packaging has a very handy dispenser, which gives the right amount, depending on the pressing force. Taking into account the color of the product, it is especially important: when applying a thick layer on the skin can leave a poisonous yellow stains. Serum is absorbed immediately, you need to wait at least twenty to thirty minutes before going to bed, so as not to leave some money on the pillows. Composition exceptionally good: retinal (retinaldehyde), d-alpha-tocopherol (the most active form of vitamin E) plus a large variety of oils and extracts. Chemical substances (by the way, is absolutely harmless) are concentrated towards the end of the list, that is it there a little bit. But retinaldehyde worth as much as fourth place in the lineup, which indicates a high, but not a trace, its content. Note that retinal in accordance with a number of investigations have a more effective action in the fight against wrinkles than pure retinol stabilized and even more than retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate. Serum nourishes the skin, applying cream on top of it - excessive measure, actual, possible only for very dry skin. There is one not very nice feature: on oily and combination skin in the morning may be a high gloss due to the abundant sebum. What to do, this is the effect of oil, of which the composition, as already noted, a lot. Washing quickly solve the problem, so that we can bear. But noticeable reduction in wrinkles after a few days (yes, it is days rather than weeks or months), because one package for the course was enough. I mostly shallow facial wrinkles (30), can not say anything about the more complex cases. Note: Serum for evening use only! All funds derived from retinol increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so during the course and after a while it is necessary to exclude a stay under the sun (especially for trips to hot countries). Sensitive skin should not immediately begin a daily application, the first two weeks is better to put in a day or two to get used to giving the skin that there was no peeling or other adverse reactions (This recommendation applies to all retinol-containing products). Parallel to taking fish oil (MRM, FreshOmega - with iherb), a complex of carotenoids (Natural Factors, BetaCareAll - with iherb) and astaxanthin (options on iherb - set). Conclusion: this serum - my must-have for autumn and winter! I will be applied annually.
