I received the cream as a reviewer and right away I started using it. The first few nights I didn't notice much. But soon I seen that my skin looked much smoother then usual. It left my skin feeling refreshed. I haven't tried many retinol products but I plan to keep using this to smooth out my skin even more. Even if I have to buy some. I recommend trying it out if you are interested in retinol creams.

Did get my face from getting dry. Nice smooth texture. Pleasant smell

I have normal/combination skin and in my late 40s, Prior to using, I had fine lines and wrinkles that being my laugh lines, forehead, eye area and lips. Given sufficient time for this product to work its magic and I noticed much softening of my lines. Just don't overdo it bc it'll be overkill and I unfortunately had to restart again after recovering from excessive dryness due to using it almost nightly even with its 1% retinol, but It does work.

Hi am a huge fan of No. 7. I tried a sample before of a retinol product they make and really liked it. I have been using non-presciption retinols for about two years now. This is much more powerful than what I am use to, but it is much more effective. I had to be very careful in the sun.

I have never used a post retinol soother before but I can tell you I will never use retinol without a post retinol soother again. This most definitely takes the sensitivity and burning sensation down, especially in the beginning of using the retinol.

I received this as part of a trial for an honest review. I read and reread the directions because I was afraid I would mess it up. I can't emphasize enough to only use a small amount, especially to start out. I did have some peeling and redness after the first couple times. I would compare it to a sun burn. Once I got over that stage it did seem to even out my skin tone. It was definitely firmer and reduced the fine lines. I would recommend it but you have to be willing to stick with it more than just the first few days.

I've been using No7 Pure Retinol 1% Night Concentrate & Post Retinol Soother for about 5 weeks now and have to say that the results surprised me. My skin tone is more even, the redness is gone and my skin looks younger. I had a bit of sensitivity for the first 7-10 days when using this product but I read that this is normal.

This was a great product but was a little harsh on my skin. I did see visible changes in 2 weeks but made my skin super dry.

I have to say this product is wow! At first i got freaked out because my skin looked like it was sun burnt and then peeled, but that only lasted a day and after that my skin looked AMAZING!!! Is was bright and soft and so clear!!! It was totally worth the day of peeling!!!

After 3 weeks of use I could see a difference in my forehead lines. They're beginning to smooth out. My face is smoother.
