StriVectin Advanced Retinol Night Treatment

Reviewers:

Twenty female reviewers aged 30+ with normal skin who are concerned with preventing the signs of ageing, while also correcting deep wrinkles, hydration, loss of firmness and radiance, and uneven skin tone and texture. They applied the product onto clean, dry skin in the evening, spreading evenly over the entire face as well as concentrating on areas of concern. As this product contains retinol, which increases your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, reviewers were asked to use sunscreen daily.

StriVectin-AR™ Advanced Retinol Night Treatment is a treatment cream that combines two active ingredients – retinol and niacin – to help correct and repair signs of ageing fast. Together they are absorbed easily into the skin, helping to lessen skin irritation while also hydrating and plumping the skin instantly. Over time, the skin appears smoother and more even toned, and wrinkles and fine lines are significantly reduced.

Because of the high efficiency of the active ingredients, some may experience temporary redness and a slight warmth or tingling in the skin after application. However, this typically disappears after one or two hours. Around half of the triallers experienced some redness or slight irritation, however, this soon subsided and all were happy they persisted with the products because of the impressive results. Nearly all members mentioned they saw a great reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, and that their skin felt smooth and nourished when using the product. The words “seriously impressed” were thrown around, and many would happily recommend this to others because of the visible improvement they saw in their skin.

You say:

"I am in my mid 30s and just starting to see some signs of aging around my eyes and forehead with those pesky ‘elevens’ starting to show up between my eyebrows. After a couple of weeks use, I have noticed these are less prominent and my skin tone is more even. My skin is soft and appears well nourished. I have had people say I am looking really well (despite being short on sleep!). Even with sensitive skin I have not noted any side effects such as redness or dryness." - *Cathy*. Read more...

"My wrinkles have seriously started to disappear on my forehead and around my eyes. I am seriously stumped by how good my skin looks. It’s completely radiant, it’s glowing and as mentioned the redness in my skin has calmed down and I like looking in the mirror now." – Sparkles12. Read more...

"I am so highly impressed with the results especially as I am in my mid 50s. My skin is definitely firmer and more radiant. My skin texture absolutely feels and looks amazing. Pesky fine lines around my cheeks are slowly diminishing before my eyes. I have two deep-set wrinkles (which I loathe) between my eyebrows and even they have softened. My skin tone has completely changed and feels so hydrated. Actually, my skin feels more alive than before and I am seeing the results in the morning every day." – jatz. Read more...

"I experienced a slight tingling the first few times I used this but it subsided with continued use. In the past, retinol products have left my skin red and irritated, with patches of dryness and peeling. I didn't experience any of these unwanted effects with this cream. I got all the benefits of retinol with none of the irritation." – Miss Danger. Read more...

"I didn't notice any reaction or tingling, but perhaps my skin was a little more sensitive to heat as I noticed my face was quite red - more so than usual- when coming out of a hot shower. I can certainly say that the cream has helped the fine lines on my face, especially around the mouth/ nose/ eye area... I have noticed that my skin feels and looks smoother." - Lorir16. Read more...
