InstaNatural Retinol Serum for Face with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Hyaluronic Acid, Anti Aging for Firmer Skin, Lines & Wrinkles & Brightening Serum

This might be the best thing I've ever bought. Feels so good when applying and my face looks much less wrinkled. It's better than any other serum I've ever tried before.

I have nothing but good things to say about nearly all of the InstaNatural products I've used over the past year or so. Before selecting them, I reviewed many different products and brands and finally settled on this company based on the excellent reviews, but also on the company responses to customer concerns - always a nice touch. InstaNaturals is a small company, so they try harder. I've always had great customer service with a willingness to do it right the first time. They are quick to respond to emailed questioned regarding products - something that was helpful to me in making my final selections the first go around. The products are lovely to use and most importantly, the price is right. Very reasonable and they last for months. I am in my late 60's with dry, sun-damaged skin that has seen too many surgeries to remove basal cell cancers. I also have 'smile lines' (read that as 'my face looks like a road map, but I'm unwilling to admit it) and just felt I needed some help. I'm not one to buy expensive 'potions' and would probably forget any way, but I have been faithful in using these products because they are so easy and pleasant to use. Having said that, it is a testimony to the company and the products that I continued to use them even when I wasn't seeing results for a while (more on that later). How you use these products is important: In the past, I had showered and immediately applied an all-over moisturizer BEFORE using the InsaNaturals serums.. I'm not sure what I was thinking or why I got that so wrong, but I still continued to use them in spite of not seeing a noticeable difference. But on a recent re-order, I received an email from AJ explaining the 'correct way to apply' . . . and that would mean applying the serums to BARE skin and BEFORE anything else. Kind of a duh moment for me. I've been doing this since and have seen really nice results. Here is what I do: Right out of the shower, I apply the Age-defying 2.5% Retinol Serum to my face and neck (this is similar to the older version with the grey label). I allow this to dry 5 minutes and then apply the Pro-Radiant Skin Brightening Serum. Both of these products look orange in your palm, probably due to the healthful astaxanthin it contains, but doesn't show once applied to your face. In spite of having very dry skin, for some reason I rarely use a moisturizer after. My face feels firmer, but not drier. It also is much smoother. I've recommended their line to others based on results, price, reviews and customer service. I intend to try more of their products. The only one I wasn't crazy about and rarely used was the Youth Express Vitamin C Moisturizer. While all the other products have a barely noticeable, but pleasant scent, this never did it for me. I should have returned it a year a go and not sure why I didn't as I'm sure a return with IN would be a snap. Give this company and their great products a try - you won't be disappointed.

InstaNatural Retinol Serum's a great product that works quickly and gets great results. My caveats have more to do with skincare needs and personal preferences than with the quality of the product itself. So first the good stuff: I love the price and 2-3 drops go a long way, so the 1 oz. I ordered should last at least a month. Seriously, those 2-3 drops cover my face, neck, chest, hands, lower arms, and elbows. They use a long-acting, more stable, time-release "encapsulated" formula, (don't even bother with the non-encapsulated stuff, Retinol/Retin-A/Retinoid products come from Vitamin A, which tend to be unstable and degrade quickly) so I only need to put it on one time per day in the evenings. I'm in my 50s with oily skin that's prone to breakouts, allergic reactions, blotches, rashes, and large pores. After just 3 days, I've already seen enough improvement with my skin tone, clarity, smoothness, and evenness that I went out and about today with just NORMAL sunscreen instead of the tinted stuff that's better than actual foundation and lets me skip another layer of goop, but which I still find kind of gross. And zero itching or allergies or breakouts. As for the wrinkles and general sagging I'm struggling with -- despite still having zit problems -- I'm seeing some improvement with the wrinkles and am not sure if anything will help with the sagging but plastic surgery (which is pricey and gives me the icks so hard "no" for now). But what the hey, it's only been three days, so I can hope. (And will update). So now for the caveats... Take care and start with a lower-percent formula if you have sensitive skin or it tends to be dry and you haven't tried Retinol/Retin-A/Retinoids products before. As I mentioned, I *do* have sensitive skin. But I've been using lower-percent Retinol skin products for a few years now (Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Day & Night creams - they're amazing but I'm ready to up the ante), so I've built a tolerance. (b) The product's orangey scent is divine, and many reviewers have said they adore it. Unfortunately for me, I have a weirdly over-developed sense of smell and would love it way more if I could stand around six feet away from myself. (c) The serum goes on nice and smoothly... But it feels a little bit sticky to me. I haven't seen any other comments about this so I'm likely just being overly picky. I'm going to keep using it for as long as it lasts but will still be trying out other products. Still, the quality, price, and results (especially if my face DOES wind up looking a little less saggy and wrinkly) are hard to beat, so I might just wind up deciding that smelling like I continuously bathe in a vat of slightly over-sweetened orange juice is worth the price of looking fabulous (or at least *feeling* like I look fabulous).

I have now been using this product for about a month and I’m very pleased with it! I purchased the product with the goals of decreasing wrinkles, improving skin hydration, and evening skin tone, and this serum has delivered all of the above! I am attaching two photos- they are taken in the same room with the same lighting and I have the same makeup routine done on my skin in both pictures, but the after photo was taken after using the product for about a week and a half. Makeup tends to settle in the wrinkles on my forehead/between my eyebrows, so I am extra impressed that even with makeup on they are greatly diminished. My skin tone also looks more even overall and while I still get zits, they have been healing much more quickly than they previously did and leaving less discoloration/scarring after healing. My skin also feels more hydrated- the oily areas have been more manageable and the areas which are typically dry and prone to flaking have been dewy and healthy. Overall, this serum did all that I hoped it would and more! I will also note that I have not regularly used a serum containing retinol before (I have tried the Ordinary’s retinol in squalane but it broke me out) but I have been able to use this almost every night with no skin irritation or adverse effects, despite having sensitive skin. It also smells lovely- like oranges!

Das Serum ist sehr leicht, ziemlich ergiebig und fettet nicht. Ich hatte keine Roetungen durch das Vitamin A. Hauptsaechlich nutzte ich das Serum um eine Narbe schneller verheilen zu lassen, was wunderbar gelang. Ein absolut unerwarteter, aber netter Nebeneffekt war, dass meine Poren sich um 1/3 verkleinert haben, was das Hautbild definitiv verbessert hat. Ist es ein Wundermittel? Nein - meine Haut hat sich sonst nicht extrem viel veraendert bis auf die obigen Punkte. Aber Vitamin A scheint eine Substanz zu sein, die auf lange Zeit wirkt. Pluspunkt fuer mich ist das die Firma wirklich naturnah arbeitet und auf die Kraft natuerlicher Substanzen setzt, anstatt auf Chemie. Dies ist sowohl fuer meine Gesundheit ein wichtiger Punkt, aber auch in der Gewinnung und Herstellung solcher Produkte ein kleiner positiver Umwelteffekt. Auch regiert meine Haut besser auf die Sonne - nicht schlechter - da in diesem Serum Retinyl Palmitate verwendet wird. Laut Des Fernandes - ein Vitamin A Experte, ist dies auf lange Sicht eine bessere Variante als reines Retinol (das zu Roetungen und Schuppungen fuehren kann) da es die Lichtempfindlichkeit herabsenkt. Ich war erst skeptisch, da ich kann es jetzt bestaetigen. Ich war ohne Sonnenschutz ein paar mal in die Sonne geraten und normalerweise waere die Haut rot - jetzt nur ein Hauch Roete und am naechsten Tag leichte Braeune.

I have been using this with great results since 2 weeks. I feel my skin is visibly firmer.

Este serum ha sido una grata sorpresa para mi. No es un serum de retinol con vitamina C cualquiera, eso lo sabes nada más abrirlo. Desprende un agradable olor citrico y es de color naranja, seguramente debido al contenido de astaxantina, de los más potentes antioxidantes que se conocen. Se absorbe rápidamente sin sensación grasa ni pegajosa, una maravilla. Los resultados se ven en unos días, el tono más unificado y la piel más tersa y suave gracias al retinol y la niacinamida que lleva. Deseando probar más de esta marca

Sérum au top !! Je l'utilise tous les soirs depuis 15 jours et j'adore le resultat !! Ma peau est lissée, repulpée, mes ridules sont moins marquées !!! Ce serum est très très éfficace !! Je l'adore !! Petit désagrément les deux premiers jours d'utilisation. J'ai la peau ultra sensible, gros picotements au début qui se sont vite dissipé. Il sent super bon (et je déteste l'orange c'est pour vous dire ☺) les agrumes ! Pénètre très rapidement, texture fluide... Bref.... Que du bonheur !!!! ATTENTION !! Comme tout produit contenant de la vitamine C, ce sérum est photosensibilisant !!! Utiliser une protection solaire si vous vous en servez en sérum de jour..

I have been using this product for just over three weeks now and I am happy to see such fantastic results in a short amount of time especially as I paired it with the InstaNatural Retinol Moisturiser. I love using serums, as I feel it's a big boost of intense moisture that seeps deep into my skin, which is locked in with a "coat" of moisturiser. It's great to use a product where I can read & understand most of the ingredients, including organic aloe vera, vitamin c, witch hazel, retinol (vitamin a), and pink grapefruit essential oils to name a few. I love the dropper as it's a quick yet non-messy way to measure out the serum (I find three drops is the perfect amount to evenly cover my face and neck). The serum is lightweight and sinks in quickly to the skin. It's orange in colour which was a little surprising on first use. I feel my skin looks more alert and bouncy immediately after use, and now that it has been 3+ weeks, my skin is definitely smoother and more toned. NB: I was given this product for free to review. These are my honest & genuine opinions.
