I love how smoothly both aspects of the serum apply & that they each absorb right away. I noticed a little bit of glow from the first time I used it. Makes my face, jawline & neck more even in texture & tone. I apply the serum in the morning, which i realize is the opposite of when I should be using it, but it's the only time I know that I'll use it with consistency. And I like the results, so works for me!
I research everything so when City Beauty promoted the Advanced Retinol System, the combination of Vitamin C and Retinol, I had to try it. In the beginning, you are supposed to use it only twice weekly so by following the directions I don't see a huge difference. I wish I would have taken photos because it's hard to remember how bad you were. I am sticking with it and will probably, I think, buy a second one because I don't think twice a week is going to work miracles in 30 days. The smell is possibly the most divine smell in any cosmetics ever! I gave it four stars because I have hope.
