From Sandra Lee, MD
AKA Dr. Pimple Popper
I recommend retinol for almost everyone because it has so many benefits, from acne to aging skin. It should only be used at night and is very effective at exfoliating and evening out the complexion. It renews skin by promoting cell turnover, and in turn works to refine pores.

At 75 it makes me look young!!! My skin is soft. I use it every night
M
I ordered this today because of all the lovely reviews Ive read here. I dont have gory looking skin until allergy season or the summertime hits in the desert, then its ghastly. The age spots and wrinkles are coming on hot n heavy. So Im relying on your reviews to steer me in the right direction. I ordered the retinol and the dark sot corrector. Wish me luck. I dont want to have to wear a mask the rest of my life to conceal the hideousness old age brings.
N
Great product i use it every night , seeing improvements
E
Love it! Feels so silky and smooth on my skin!!!!!
E
have been using this product for over a year and it has been key to my skincare routine. In my early 20s I started to get severe hormonal acne and this along with other products in the acne line was the only thing that worked for me to see results. I went to a dermatologist, started getting facials, did loads of my own research on products and nothing worked until I started using this.
K
My face feels so good. . my skin feels very soft
L
It right now
I love the sent creaminess and that they are long lasting
M
It works very well on my skin. I applied it every night.
B
Love love love this retinol serum, I can really see the brightening effect on my skin, it helps to reduce my sun spots and dark spots and goes on really smoothly. I've used this every single night for the past 4 months and its really made a difference in the texture of my skin as well. I'll be buying again for the 3rd time once I run out!
J
Love this product My skin looks amazing! it feels silky going on and the results so far have been better than expected.
J
Love this! Ive been using it for a year and a half now!
F
This product provides amazing results! After a good face wash ,with the acne cleanser at night. Applies smooth and non greasy. It is very light ,yet very affective. This will always be in my nightly routine. Not only helps for my hormonal acne. It also stops regularly breaking out. It has done a wonderful job on my face.
A
Doesnt dry my skin like other retinal products. Like the time release formula.
S
This nighttime product seems to work well. I cleanse then use this under the moisturizer. It has a light, somewhat odd scent (chemical or vinegar-like) but fades quickly, and it dries quickly/ isn't sticky.
M
I have noticed a difference on my face. It looks younger, smoother, and tighter.
B
I love the way my skin feels when I use it!
D
I have used this product for 2 weeks now and I am already noticing a difference. I am 60 with combo skin and I chose this skin line to help manage my lines and to help keep my skin bright. There is no irritation.
c
Great product, I highly recommend it! It does not feel greasy on the skin and absorbs quickly.
C
Use sparingly ....after 3 hours on, had to rinse off!
Could not sleep with tingling!
K
I have tried many things over the years and really didn't start getting breakouts until after I had a baby. This product is the best at keeping my skin clear and I do use other products from this line as well. I highly recommend it.
J
The smell isnt that great but my skin looks better.
A
Very happy with this product
G
Great! Not drying
D
No noticeable change - yet
Y
Im not sure what to think feels as tho it has no preservatives and smells a little old
J
Love this product and how it makes my skin look. The only negative thing is that the print on the bottle rubs off as you are trying to use it. So sometimes youll end up with small letters on your face
E
This is my second time ordering. It works. Simple. It resurfaced my skin, applies well and absorbs quickly. It doesnt take long to see results which is always desirable in a product. With the BP lotion I saw quick improvements. If I stop using them, my skin suffers.
A
After a week of use no dramatic results but no adverse effects either. The smell is slightly industrial/plastic and the pump top is annoying because it doesnt lock or seal. The spout is thin and flimsy and protrudes from the bottle. I fear it will eventually snap off as it doesnt flip inwards. Im hopefully that after continued use there will be results in both the look of fine lines and small dark spots. The serum feels good on and is a nice medium weight. Overall hopefull!
K
After only using this serum for 2 or 3 days, I already noticed my skin looking more hydrated and tone evening out. I have sun spots and a little kp and just overall redness and I'm seeing it all fade away! I've been using it now for over 2 weeks, and I can't wait to see results after a few more weeks of use. Its great and worth the price (which is v. reasonable).
