Comments about overnight retinol repair:
After 2 months I up to the full dosage and I love this stuff. After using the. 5 I'll move up to the 1.0. My only complaint is the price.
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
I have rather sensitive skin so I was a bit hesitant to start using this product. (I can't even get my brows waxed without having intense redness for 48 hours afterwards.) Nevertheless, I thought I'd give it a try to help with some lines on my forehead and temples. Not only have a noticed an improvement with those, but also the bumps along my cheekbones (which I had written off as acne scars long ago) are disappearing. Best of all, using it as directed with the buffer cream hasn't irritated my skin in the slightest. It's only been about two weeks but I would definitely say this is worth every penny!
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
Feel fresh and clean next morning. Seems the moisturizer soaks in better
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
i have not seen any results yet on my skin i have using it for 2 weeks every day
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
I've purchased this a couple of times and think it works well. It does not irritate my skin or dry it out so I'm happy.
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
I never review products--mostly because everything I buy from Dermalogica is great--but I had to make an exception for this product. I have normal, healthy skin, but for months I have had two spots that never came to the surface (papules or something like that). I have tried numerous things to get rid of them: exfoliation several times/week, facials, creams to draw out the impurities, and nothing worked. They're not really visible, so I didn't really pay it any mind, but did wonder if I should just go to the dermatologist for cortisone or something. I used this retinol product--no exaggeration--two nights and they're gone. Two nights! I can't wait to see what my skin looks like after weeks of use!
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
I bought this product 3 months ago. I love it! It is gentle on my sick, it helps so much with breakouts, fine lines and it doesn't dry your skin out like prescription retinol does. I use it every night after I was my face and before I put on my nightly creams.
I would highly recommend this product. This is a "I can't do without" treatment.
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
I have only been using the product for about 10 days which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. No miracles yet, but I have noticed some improvements in this short of a time frame. I noticed some tightness in my skin that I hadn't realized needed tightening. Some lines are less defined. No one is going to say "wow, you look 10 years younger", but for now, it's about how *I* feel when I look in the mirror :-) and I am pleased with the results from this product.
When I first started using it, I used the buffer cream and the retinol about 1 to 1. I had some drying of my skin around my mouth/nose. But that seems to have now resolved.
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
Love this product I use it almost every night. I truly feel it makes a difference.
Comments about overnight retinol repair:
So happy I took a chance on this product. After only a couple weeks of use my pores are smaller and my skin tone looks great!

What are the effects if I can't avoid direct sunlight?: I'm in my mid-thirties and have had expression lines on my forehead since my teens.

I plan on wearing sunscreen every day and a sun hat when possible, but what are the effects of being in direct sunlight while using this product?2 answers
A:
Retinol makes the skin much more likely to damage skin, defeating the purpose of protecting the skin in the first place. Worry not, using the overnight retinol repair only at night will give you optimal results and reduce the chances of damaging your skin.A:
Hello,
Merchant response: Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Please note that our AGE Smart products may not reverse the signs of aging 100%. However, they can help your skin to be as healthy as possible. They can provide a glow. The product can also soften lines, prevent further signs of aging, etc.
The signs of aging occur over many years, caused by genetics, lifestyle, and so on. Even the most sophisticated products will not reverse the signs of aging in 2 weeks. It is important to be realistic with expectations and a time frame. It is important to be patient and persistent with the products. I would rather under promise and over deliver.
