Green Cream Retinol, Level 9, High Potency, Airless Pump, 1 Ounce

*****9 MONTH UPDATE*****I am just about to purchase my 3rd bottle of Green Cream. This cream has been the best product I have ever used on my face. It looks dewy, fresh and glows. The surface is softer to touch and brighter overall. The 2 bottles have lasted me 9 months!!!!!! You don't need much to make a difference. It's that good!!!!!*****Original Review*****I have had 2 fairly large horizontal neck rings for most of my life. I never really thought about until the last few years where they started to look darker, larger and unhappy. Along with this, the skin on my face didn't feel good anymore. It was very dull and rough in texture. As a result, I began a new project on how to make some improvement and slowdown what is happening to my skin.After comparing several products, I took the plunge on AST Green Cream 9. I did experience a 3 week period where my skin went through almost a "peel" from the product, but now I can honestly say, my face feels INCREDIBLE and remarkably improved. I wish I had started with this 5 years ago.1) Remove makeup2) Use hands to wash face and neck with a cleanser3) Use tonerAllow to dry completely. I try to wait at least 10 minutes here before doing the Green Cream.4) GREEN CREAM NO. 9. EVERY OTHER NIGHT.Squeeze out a pea size. I make teeny-tiny dots of the product on my forehead first and then rub in. Moving to the cheeks, nose, chin and finally neck (especially the rings!!!) as I rotate around my face and rub in. I do not put this on my eyelid area but do apply on the under eye area above my cheekbones. If I have ANY left over, I rub this into the back of my hands.****ALTERNATE NIGHTS*****:M2 High Potency Skin Refresh 20%.I apply this in a similar manner to the Green Cream except that it is more fluid and seems to spread easier. This works to resurface the skin, but it is a different type of Alpha Hydroxy acid which activates and exfoliates the uppermost layers of skin cells, while the Retinol in the Green Cream is absorbed to do it's work from the bottom up to encourage new skin cell growth.5) On nights that my skin feels especially dry, 30 minutes after Retinol or AHA application, I spread on a very light layer of German Nivea. Only the German Nivea tin which is closest to begin La Mer, without the price tag. I also sometimes use the Waxelene or even Coconut oil, depending upon my mood. Lately, my skin has felt so well, I have gone to bed without a layer of moisturizer.Now, after a couple months, the skin on my face is glowing and feels SO INCREDIBLY soft. It feels like my much younger face and I my neck rings have lightened. I plan to update this at the 6 month mark, but so far out of all of it, the Green Cream made the most drastic difference to my skin appearance and texture overall. I highly recommend it as a OTC retinol product without a prescription. Just be smart with it for certain, since your using this at home without a doctor's supervision.

This is seriously a miracle cream. I've been using this cream for almost two years now. I use it after i wash my face with a glycolic acid cleanser every night. Sometimes when my skin gets super sensitive I use it every other night. I'm very grateful that I found this product! I suffered from acne since I was in high school, tried every hyped up product out there like proactive, bounced from one dermatologist to the other, none of them really cured my acne. So I did my own research and learned about retinol. There's a lot of retinol products out there, but I chose the green cream level 9 because it was so far the most potent. I did start with the level 6 and I advise all of you to start with the level 6 because it takes some time for the skin to get used to this product, don't use level 9 first!! try 6 then after you're done but the level 9. First time users, I would suggest to apply on face every other day for the first couple weeks, then if your skin doesn't peel anymore, you can use it every night. Apply at night time only because it works better while you sleep. First week of using it my skin peeled a little and it was kind of irritated, but it's ok it's supposed to do that! Don't be frustrated it your skin tends to get sensitive at first because I swear to you this product is so worth it if you wait 2 weeks!!! My skin got super smooth, pores and blackhead minimized, no more cystic acne! wrinkles gone! OMG i would die without this product! Buy it now!!!

Been using this for a while. Love it, very effective and so glad it’s available on Amazon.

This is number three review written from an email I received from Amazon asking me to review my recent purchase of Green Cream Level 9. Apparently the other two did not go through when hitting the appropriate keys etc; I will not waste any more of my precious time if this one disappears into space. Anyway, I am on number two bottle of level 9, I started last Fall with level 6. I must have some kind of durable skin, because I did not experience any peeling, reddening etc: as the other reviewer did. I am slowly getting the softening of fine lines, but after three bottles I was hoping for more recovery from breakouts and a better tone from discoloration by now. But all good things come to those who wait and this retinol product is truly a five star gem, I am just too darn impatient. I tend to jump from one skincare line to another if results are not fast enough. Green Cream is the real deal with quality based retinol and I will keep using it because I know I can get my desired results with continued use. The company and product are both awesome, try their website, it is a true inspiration to learn about the quality ingredients and wonderful people and Doctors behind this gem of a product. Any and all questions will be answered by browsing their fantastic site. I think I finally found my answer to all my skincare woes and I am sticking with this one. Retinol is a tried and true ingredient for better skin and I am tired of wasting my money on every new gimmick that comes down the pipeline. Yea!! Green Cream.

I use to use this a long time ago, and I loved how nice my skin would look. Well fast forward a few years and I decided to purchase green cream again to get rid of some deep express lines above my eyes brows. This time around I noticed the cream was extremely thick and after about a month of using it I haven't noticed much difference.It really bothers me because this really isn't cheap face cream. I hope I received a bad batch because I recommend this product to everyone, but that was based off a few years ago when I used it.

I have used green cream number three and green cream number six. I use green cream number nine occasionally as it does have more retinol in it. It’s important to build up your tolerance with green cream number three and green cream number six before jumping into green cream number nine unless your face is accustomed to retinol.
