ABSOLUTELY WORKS!, February 27, 2011

I am an *African American woman, approaching 50+ years old and am NOT willing to look one day of it (lol!!!)-not yet!!!. *Just pointing this out, as I know that all skin-types varies and are not the same. I’ve always taken very good care of my even-tone, oily skin, however as I approached my 50th birthday something seem to be going downhill with the chemistry, condition and texture of my skin: in complete reverse with dry, blotchy, dark spots under my eyes, large pores, pimples, fine line wrinkles around my eyes, which I’ve never had before. My once glowy youthful skin and complexion seemed to be taking a turn for the worst. Like many women that just want to look her best always, as I like to go “light” diva-pretty and beautiful, but I don’t like excessive make-up – particularly foundation (rather my natural skin-tone). I was in search for many months for a product that worked for me. Like many of you, I spent $100′s, $100′s, $100′s of dollars on finding the best products, but left with many disappointments (peels, serums etc. you name it, I’ve tried THEM ALL!!!). I begin to do research and found by experts that at my age, I needed to replenish collagen and the oils that were being depleted because of my aging. The products that I once used in my 20′s, 30′s and 40′s were no longer working for me. Just wanted to say, for me the Retinol Cream WORKS! Yes, yes, I agree with previous comments regarding the smell. It can be a bit borderline allergy-provoking and strong, but for me it is worth the results. I must say that I also use St. Ives Timeless Skin Colagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer (sold by Amazon as well) and Palmer’s Skin Success Fade Cream. These creams come in a decent supply that can last for months unlike the expensive brands that boast results with far less – I think these companies take huge advangtage of a woman’s often “desperation” in this area of beauty, and we allow it! For me, no more! With that said, these three creams are my daily regimen with an exfoliation (loofah) added about once a week – amazing results. Also, I use these creams at night, never in the sun or in the daytime, as I find that it leaves me too oily (as we say “greasy”, and sticky). Also, I take lots of vitamin E, C, B complex, drink lots of water and light cardio exercise (like running up and down my stairs or walking my dog). Those of you that are 50 and over, you know why!!! Lastly, for those of you that are tired of being ripped-off, wasting money, and the frustration of false advertisements, try this product. After using the Good N Natural Retinol Cream for over a month, it definitely works almost overnight. You will definitely see a MAJOR difference in the texture and vibrance of your skin within days. I use these moisturizers together or sometimes alone (but definitely with the Retinol and St. Ives combination)and I no longer have to wear foundation or cover-up makeup, only when I’m going out formally – which was my goal. People still cannot believe that I’m 50…”you look about 35″ is usually the complements that I receive, especially if I’m with my adult children – “no way, you’re 50″…and I’m trying to keep it that way. Call it vanity, but I’m back to *smiling*!!! Good luck, hope this helps!!!

Transformed my skin, July 25, 2009

This is my first review. I am buying this for the second time because it totally transformed my skin. I used to get breakouts on my chin area, and have rough skin on my cheeks and forehead with red blotches. This has totally changed my skin into even toned, soft and blemish free (occasionally with hormones one will break through but nothing like before). It is way cheaper than other retinol creams, and works great. I highly recommend it – it only took like a week for me to notice a real change, and after a few weeks I am amazed.

The title says 200k iu but it’s actually 100k -still great.
