Has kept my skin clear
I've been using different brands of retinol serum and I really like how this one smooths over my skin, which it does better than others I've used. It's a tube and pump combination and about two pumps is plenty to cover my face and neck. The consistency is somewhere between a gel and a slight cream. I've had no adverse reactions and I find that it leaves my face feeling moisturized without any clogging feeling. Also, there's no scent that I can pick up.
Great Retinol Serum For Sensitive Skin
The Serum by Higher Education is very moisturizing and delicate on the skin. The white cream feels silky, unlike most serums and really helps brighten skins appearance. My skin is sensitive and this doesnโt irritate or hurt my skin at all, instead it makes my skin feel soft and moist. This serum is a great investment and worth the price if you want healthy, moisturized, soft, clear skin.
This is a company that cares about their clients
When I opened up the box, the tube of MBA was right there. It is not a jar, but a tube that you pump the product out. The circular on the inside advises newbies to use one pump all over the face and avoiding the eyes, mouth and neck areas. You start out twice a week or every three days. After two or three weeks, the skin adjusts to the usage and you can start using more often. They also included a trial size of Double Major, which is great, since you will probably have dead skin cells start to flake off.
I do really like this one, slightly more expensive than others in this class
This is a nice Retinol cream that is a little expensive considering it contains only 0.5% retinol. I have others that contain 3 times as much and cost half of this one. One word of caution, please keep in mind when you use products containing retinol to use sun blocker and to apply them in the evening since these can make your skin sensitive to sun light.<br /><br />This serum comes in a stunning little plastic squeeze tube looking like upside down pump dispenser. It has a pleasant and mild scent that I really like.<br /><br />The serum is lightweight and absorbs quickly into your skin. There is some residue for a brief while but that goes away pretty quickly. It leaves you with nice soft skin that is smooth and feels great. All in all I really do like this even though it is a bit more on the expensive side for what you get. My skin does like it though and with the lower concentration of the retinol this may work better for people who are more sensitive to retinol.
Worth every penny
Terrific list of ingredients, this stuff is the real deal. I could feel immediately on application that this product contained Retinol as advertised and not a watered down 'serum' variation. Remember to moisturize after. This is a terrific product to use as your Retinol go to.<br /><br />I got a lot of info from Marie Claire article by Katie Thomas 'Retinol - the only ingredient that will reduce wrinkles'<br /><br />Your skinโs collagen level starts to deplete at age 25.<br />Retinol helps with skin elasticity, wrinkles/laugh lines and pigmentation aka age spots.<br />Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A.<br />Start low ( 0.3%) increase to 0.5%. 1% is best but only available with a prescription.<br />When you first try your skin may get dry, red & flaky.<br />Only use twice a week, gradually increase to daily as desired.<br />Apply a pea-sized amount at first and increase amount and % as negative side effects decrease.<br />Use anytime day or night, just use sunscreen after if going outdoors.<br />Anywhere you see signs of aging is a good place to apply, face, arms, hands, legs, neck.<br />Avoid the skin around your eyes as it is too delicate.<br /><br />Aqua/Water/Eau,<br />Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (emollient/natural moisturizing factor/replenishment/texture),<br />Glycerin (hydration/natural moisturizing factor/replenishment),<br />Dimethicone (conditioner/silicone),<br />Glyceryl Stearate (emollient/emulsifier),<br />PEG-100 Stearate (emulsifier),<br />Polysorbate 20 (emulsifier),<br />***Retinol (age delay/brightener),<br />Phenoxyethanol (preservative),<br />Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer (hydration/replenishment/restoration),<br />Carbomer (thickener),<br />Cetearyl Alcohol (thickener),<br />Caprylyl Glycol (conditioner/emollient/preservative),<br />Ceteareth-20 (emollient/emulsifier),<br />Ethylhexylglycerin (preservative),<br />BHT (preservative), Allantoin (sooth),<br />Disodium EDTA (pH buffer/preservative),<br />Hexylene Glycol (preservative),<br />Sodium Hydroxide (pH adjuster),<br />Pentylene Glycol (solvent),<br />BHA (preservative),<br />1,2-Hexanediol (preservative),<br />Beta-Glucan (antioxidant/sooth),<br />Myristoyl Pentapeptide-8 (age delay)
Very nice gentle product
I've tried a few products from this brand and I've really liked them. Unfortunately this one and one other product I received expire in less than two months from when I recieved them. I have pretty nice skin because I take very good care of it. So for me 0.5% retinol is just right. It doesn't irritate my skin or dry it out which is always a concern of mine when I use any type of retinol product. This is a nice serum consistency. My skin looks healthier and brighter. It didn't cause me any redness, which can be a problem for me, nor did it cause any irritation. I recommend giving this a try along with some of their other products. Just keep in mind when ordering that a couple of products I recieved to review were very close to expiration.
MBA Night Renewing Serum Helps Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles Around My Eyes!
No, I'm not vain, but I don't won't to look old before my time. I'm a fifty-six-year-old Caucasian male who just retired after 34 years of government service. Fortunately, I still look as though I am in my forties. What is my secret? Simple. I don't smoke, I don't lay out in the sun, I drink plenty of water, and I moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Lately, I've also learned the importance of using products, such as facial serums, that have retinol, which reduces wrinkles around the eyes. I don't believe in plastic surgery but I do strongly believe in using topical products that reduce the appearance of aging. Everyone I personally know who has had plastic surgery ended up looking like a clown with a lopsided mouth and huge, shocked eyes.<br /><br /> I've been using several Higher Education products as part of a facial cleansing and healing regimen. The products that I've been using are the NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser and the GOAL DIGGER Moisturizing Cucumber Crรจme. Both are excellent products; I am quite pleased with them. Thanks to them, my skin looks healthy and glowing. After I retired, I moved from Virginia to Tennessee and the change in environment caused my face to become badly dehydrated. I was waking up with dry, irritated patches of skin on my face that sometimes stung. Thankfully, with the help of the Higher Education products, I have been able to heal my skin and keep the dry patches away.<br /><br /> I also decided to use the MBA Night Renewing Serum from Higher Education as part of my nightly ritual. The MBA is to be used only at night. Also, the consumer is to use it only twice a week and gradually increase its usage as tolerated. Well, I've been using it every night for two weeks without any issues. However, I use it sparingly around my eyes. I've noticed a difference in the three weeks that I have been using it. Fewer wrinkles and smoother skin. The serum is light-green and doesn't have a distinguishable scent. It burns slightly when I put it on but the burning sensation quickly goes away. I use the MBA after applying my GOAL DIGGER, which moisturizes my skin, preparing it for the MBA. Like I stated earlier, I've been using the MBA for three weeks and I haven't experienced any ill side effects or allergic reactions such as acne, hives, blisters, or red, swollen skin.<br /><br /> The serum arrived in a 1.7 fluid-ounce pump bottle with a plastic, transparent cap. For some unknown reason, I keep forgetting that the tube has a pump. I want to squeeze the tube as though it were toothpaste. The cap prevents accidental leakage and spillage. I think it would be difficult to tamper with the tube. The tube arrived inside a sturdy, cardboard box, which contained company literature. The MBA is a good product. My only issue with it is the expiration date. An expiration date is provided on the back of the tube's crimp and on the bottom of the box. It reads as follows: EXP 09/20. This is not a good date, especially for a product that will probably be in usage for three to four months, if used sparingly. I expected it have about the same expiration date as the one I found for the NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser and the GOAL DIGGER Moisturizing Cucumber Crรจme, which is 09/21.<br /><br /> I wonder if Higher Education decided that giving products that would soon expire to reviewers from the Amazon Vine Program was a good means for disposing of aging products. Whenever I review a food or hygiene product, I always look for an expiration date. Not all hygiene products have expiration dates. I think they all should in order to let consumers know whether or not they are receiving safe products with fresh ingredients. I hope that customers who actually purchase the MBA Night Renewing Serum will obtain a product with a better expiration date. Nevertheless, I believe that MBA is good for lessening the appearance of wrinkles. MBA won't remove them completely. I don't think anything will. However, MBA will help to minimize them.
