Help Me Retinol Treatment

I use this at night. I wait a while for it to soak in, then apply moisturizer because it can dry up your skin. In the morning, my face looks really radiant. I highly recommend this product for people with acne or wrinkles.

Nice Product...Too Expensive

I like Help Me Retinol Treatment but not enough to continue to pay a high price for a small tube. The cream did not cause any irritation to my skin and I liked the consistency as well. I think the Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream works better and is a lot less expensive than Philosophy. Even if you don't have acne, if you want a fabulous retinol night cream, try the Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream.

Never again!

This was my final skin care purchase from Philosophy after being relatively loyal to the brand for years. I returned this after a month of use. Why? For something that is supposed to be an amazing anti-aging product, it only managed to make my skin super acne-prone. I was breaking out left and right. I have good skin, and like most women I get the occasional breakout, but NOTHING like this. I wa...read mores averaging 3-4 new breakouts per day. Once I stopped using this product, it took a few weeks for my skin to heal and go back to normal. I knew right away that this was the only new product I was using, therefore I couldn't blame any other product. Either I had a reaction to it, or this can happen to other people as well. I will never use it again, obviously, and quite frankly, I have found several anti-aging products that don't harm my skin since getting this stuff far away from me. Ladies, don't waste your money.

Philosophy Help Me Retinol Treatment

I have been using prescription retiniods for years for my acne, and I always am on the look out for something I don't need a prescription for. I read a few very favorable reviews of Philosophy Help Me Retinol Treatment, so I decided to give it shot to see if it was effective as Retin A Micro. Sadly, it just didn't work out as well for me as I had hoped. It didn't help with my break outs, and it...read more felt heavy and greasy on my skin. It is also kind of expensive and it just wasn't as effective as I had hoped. Perhaps someone who doesn't have acne would find it works better for them than I, but it just isn't a product I will repurchase. I went back to Retin A Micro, and sadly, it appears that I will be using prescription retinols instead of trying to find something that works as well for my breakouts. This product might work for someone with fine lines to boost collagen reproduction, but it isn't very effective with acne prone skin.

Nothing visible

This product doesn't irritate my skin, which is great for a retinol. However, it doesn't give me any specific benefits that I've noticed. I've used half the tube and I don't see a difference in my skin. I didn't return it but I will not purchase it again.

Good so far...

I have only used this for two nights, but already it's shrinking my pores and getting rid of my acne. Hopefully it will continue!

Harsh

It gave a bit of radiance, nothing dramatic. The moisturizing was good. But the stinging went on longer than I liked. I now have some more visible capillaries, instead of less, although any connection may be circumstantial. It also may that retinoids are wrong for me from any cream. Setting those issues aside, the performance was just "meh".

OUTSTANDING

I have mature skin ,55 plus and this works really well for me. I have been using it nightly and have not had any breakouts,dry patches, flaky skin or redness. My skin appears to be smoother, with less redness. I have also noticed that the tone seems to be more even. I can say for the first time that my skin looks ok with out makeup.

Helped with my acne!

I have had acne since I was in 5th grade. I have tried SO much to help it. I never thought using a retinol treatment would be for me but honestly… my skin has never been so consistently clear. I apply it about 2-3 times a week. Don't apply more because it could dry you out! Works amazing.

No good

Philosophy's products seem to break me out. This was no exception......not very irritating as far as retinols go, but it made my skin sooooo acne prone......
