Marrone New York Anti Aging Retinol Serum 2.5%-w Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin E-Boosts Collagen and Peptides-Acne Treatment-Reduces Wrinkles, Age Spots, and Oily Skin. 2 fl oz

I have been struggling with uneven skin tone on my face for the last 4-5 years and especially since I had my daughter 2 years ago. That prego mask they say will go away after you have a baby just never did!!! I have used a lot of different products to "get rid" of uneven skin tone but they either didn't work or really made me break out. I was willing to spend $250 on a facial that would last a day so I ordered this stuff first! I am so glad I did! After the first use my skin was a little red but the next day it looked a little less old!(Mind you I am a 35 year old mother of a 2 year old!) I have been using this serum along with a derma roller along with other products that I will list below, for about 7 days now and I my skin is becoming softer and the tone is becoming more even. My sun spots/prego mask is fading day by day and I have no more acne. I thought I would always have bad skin and I was just living that way but I feel so blessed to have found these products without having to spend a crazy amount of money. My husband even asked what I was using because my skin is so soft and clear! Here is the list of products I use which were all found on Amazon!Night routine: I use a Derma-E Very Clear Acne Cleanser to wash my face adding 3 drops of Geranium oil, pat dry my face with a clean towel then I use the Derma Roller by Afterglow (watch a YouTube video to see how) then I use a Retinol2.5% Serum by Marrone New York(found on Amazon), followed by e-raorangincs Complete moisturizer. It may seem like a few more steps but it really only takes maybe 10 extra mins after I shower. Morning: Derma-E Very Clear Acne Cleanser, e-raorangincs Complete moisturizer and sunscreen.

This was one of the first retinols I used. I definitely saw a difference in My skin texture after the first bottle, and it never made me breakout which is always my biggest worry when buying new products. This product feels light on the skin and absorbs. I always follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen afterwards

I was fortunate to be put onto this amazing product when my skin seemed like it was aging more rapidly than ever due to regular stress, environmental agents and just plain time making it's mark. I am quite healthy overall living a vegan lifestyle, exercising regularly and assuming 7-8 hours of sleep per night, however I noticed my nighttime skin care regimen was lacking that main go-to product that fit within my natural preference. I felt the fine lines and overall texture of my face was just "the way it was" with my age but then came this serum so I gradually began using it (at first every other night to test my skin's reaction) then after about a week, began using it every night after exfoliating. It's meant to be followed up with a moisturizer and so I continued to use a small amount of coconut oil to finish off the process. I must say I have NEVER written a review before this one, but I've been so pleased with this fantastic smelling, silky feeling and youthful looking skin since I began using this product almost five months ago. I have gotten compliments on how great my skin looks from friends and family and that hasn't happened since I was in my twenties. I am VERY pleased and have recommended this product to people quite a few times. I just love it! Also the great customer service makes it a continuous purchase for me. Thank you Marrone New York! I love you!

I'm not so sure about this. I chose this because of the ingredients list and how much Retinol was in it (or, how far up it was on the list), as well as the price and the reviews. However, at the time of purchase I thought it was weird that this company has no other products, and I still do - especially because I've used this several times and do not feel or see a single change in my skin. I would at least expect to see something slight, even photosensitivity since I've been using it in the summer. So, I guess I will just continue to use it for a few more weeks, maybe even use the whole bottle, and if I don't see any changes I will move onto something from a more established line. Too bad - I was excited about the ingredients and hoped for great results.

I have very sensitive skin so it's hard for me to just try and product and I really take my time to research the ingredients. A friend of mine recommended this one, she has the same type of sensitive skin I have, so I trust her opinion. Wow, am I glad I did! I absolutely love this retinol serum. It's not like any other I have tried in the past which were very very expensive, and would dry my face out. I have been using it consistently and have noticed a change in my skin. The fine lines that were once trying to show are now smoother. I am so happy I gave this a try as it also leaves my face with a really nice glow. A lot of people ask me if I get facials weekly, which I don't. It's this serum that actually works and you don't need to put on a lot either so it has lasted a long time. I highly recommend it. Thanks Marrone NY for helping me get amazing skin at a very affordable price.

This has faded my fine lines and scars a LOT. I didn't expect to see that much of a difference that fast. With that said I have combination skin. Not that oily and I don't use a lot of moisturizers because they tend to make me break out even at 40 years old. If I use this all over my face and neck, I let it soak in and then add a dime size amount of a very light moisturizer. If you have oily skin you won't need to do this. If you have dry skin you might find you need a little more of your moisturizer after the serum soaks in. It isn't overly drying. I also found that it was less drying in warmer weather, a littler more drying in cooler weather. But it is overall 5 stars from me!

Truly, I can't tell if it's 'working' or not. I use retinol because research shows it is effective. I suppose I could stop using and then maybe I'd be able to tell if retinol works...but I'm not going to do that. So I continue to use anti-aging products in "hopes" of them helping to fight the signs of aging. What concerns me about this company is their lack of internet presence...their website is useless and I can find no data on the company...how long they've been in existence, owners, research... A fly-by-night company?? My fault for not doing my research. I won't buy from this company again.
