Accelerated acne and skin darkening

After a week of using this combination of buffer and retinol my skin darkened and I started to get acne all over my face. Unfortunately I have to discontinue now.

Excellent product

5

I built the use up with the buffer cream and now use this every other day added to my moisturiser, I am amazed at the results, plumper skin, firmer jawline and no reactions, my skin looks great, I use this and the MAP-15 generator and look younger and my skin has never looked better. I have used other expensive products in the past, some worked OK but they irritated my skin and caused break-outs thanks I never have that trouble with Dermalogica

It's great!

I really like it, it makes a difference when you apply at night and you wake up much more plump in the morning. At first I used it with the buffer, I thought it would be very strong or something, burning the skin and so, but soon I realised I actually didn't need the cream and start using it alone after two applications. The only thing is not changing much is the coloured age spots I have in my cheeks, I thought it might but not really. Pity because that would make it incredible as I wouldn't need anything else for my night routine.

Just did not work for me

I am surprised. With every use of this product my skin started getting darker by the shade. Obviously, there the only visible difference was darkness in skin colour. I stopped using it but sad that it was so costly and did not work me.

I have used this product for a month now, building up usage as required and have had increasing under the skin bumps and breakouts. Discontinued use and my face is finally clearing up. Really wanted to like this one.

I have used many retinol serums but this is one of the best Ive used. Saw results over night! I especially love the buffer cream.....I would love to purchase the buffer cream separately as my moisturizer??

a product with good reviews

I just started using this product this week so I am still waiting to see how it will work for me. I am following the directions on how to apply to the skin. So far I have not had any skin irritation or problems with this.

Retinol overnight repair

Amazing, I am in love with this product. It was bought for me for Mother's Day and I have been using it every other night since. I do invest in high end skin products but I have never had results like this before. I have received so many compliments and I can really see the difference. I will definitely be buying this again and Would 100% recommend it 😁

I'm very sceptical with beauty products which claim they can diminish lines. My beauty therapist recommended this product and gave me a sample. I've been using it for 5 days and can see a difference already which my hubby confirmed. I'm under no illusion the lines will disappear completely but am happy they've faded along with my skin feeling firmer. I will certainly be investing in this product.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Yes, once you run out of buffer cream, Intensive Moisture Balance is amazing to use with Overnight Retinol Repair. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Can I use the super rich repair moisturizer with my overnight retinol?

RNgirly

Bernadette

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. We have Overnight Retinol Repair in .5% and 1%. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

How soon before waxing should one stop using retinol overnight repair?

Jay

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Discontinue use at least 72 hours before and after waxing. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hi, can it be used together with biolumin c serum or MAP 15? Thank you.

Nini

Hello , Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use Overnight Retinol Repair with BioLumin-C Serum. However, it would be at your discretion, depending on your skin's tolerance. Try a patch test to be sure. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hello - can I use this cream while breastfeeding?

Jtet

Hello, Please do not use retinol while pregnant or nursing. Please consult with your doctor. Thanks

Bernadette

I like to use a toner day and night with 5% glycolic acid. I dont know if that counts as exfoliant, but is this not possible to do when using this product? or can I use that toner only in the morning for example?

Linda

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. 5% Glycolic Acid exfoliates the skin. Please do not exfoliate while using Retinol. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Hi team , I am currently looking at your overnight retinol repair, is this only for certain skin types? or ALL I have combination skin and its very sensitive + wanted your advise before I purchase > Also along with the above product I am looking at the eye cream with retinol. Age 53 can you advise please. Thanks Creana

Rena

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. If your skin is sensitive, try Power Rich instead. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

Is this a product the can help improve scaring on nose from acne? I have a lot of pits on my nose.

Maria

Hello, Please refer to laser treatments for pit scars. Thanks

Bernadette

I see that you advise not to exfoliate whilst using retinol. A what stage would it be OK to exfoliate again? After say a week? I like your Super Foliant product. Or would it just not be necessary if I continued to use the retinol?

Catherine

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You should not exfoliate while using retinol. Retinol increases cell turn over. Exfoliating sloughs off cells. Exfoliating while using retinol will over process your skin. Kind Regards, Bernadette
