Review on 2.5% Retinol Cream For Face Moisturizer: Anti-Aging Wrinkle Night Cream With Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid & Skin Tightening Firming Benefits - Minimizes Dark Spots, Age Spots & Acne Scars! by Jim Plump

This is a reorder for me. I love the size of this pump container of retinol, and the price can't be beat. I have very thirsty, dry and sensitive skin with tiny pores. It's important to find products that absorb into my skin instead of sitting on top of it. I have fine crepey skin under my eyes, and fine lines are setting in. I struggled with severe eczema for the first 26 years of life, and also bad allergies which caused me to always grind my fists into my eyes to itch them as they felt itchy, weepy and red. After years of having triamcinolone on my whole body and face, my skin is thin and translucent. You can see every vein and blood vessel on my face. FYI - they no longer prescribe triamcinolone for the face BECAUSE of the skin thinning. Anyways, I need something that works for me, and Ebanel does. I have a whole skin routine I do - cleanse, tone, serum, more serum, facial oil, then moisturize - and Ebanel is the last step. I use one whole pump for my face, neck and collarbone/chest area. If I have any extra on my hands I use it on my shoulders or hands. I also have keratosis pilaris, and retinol moisturizers are awesome for that too!I can't say I've noticed any reduction of wrinkles so far, but I am terrible about doing my skincare regimen every day and night. Results may differ for someone who is diligent about their routine. I DO notice that my skin is more moisturized and retains moisture better, it is softer and more plump looking, and I have a nice glow when I wake up in the morning. And while I don't see improvement with the wrinkles and fine lines, they aren't getting worse either. I think those reasons are enough to use this product! It's affordable, too and I need everything in my life to be affordable!Ebanel is a light or pale yellowish green color. The thickness is somewhere between a lotion and a cream? There is a mild scent that is neither pleasant nor unpleasant. I don't remember if there is fragrance added or not, but I can't smell it (and I'm a super smeller and taster!). It doesn't bother my sensitive skin - no burning or itching. I once bought the ebay brand, Belei, retinol moisturizer, and I find Ebanel to be comparable to that, but much more affordable, and more bang for your buck! I believe the retinol content to be better than other cheap brands, but less than high end brands, and obviously less than prescription retinols or Retin-A. I once tried my mom's prescription Retin-A, and it burned and turned my face red for days! Ebanel definitely works, because if I try to rub it in too much, I'll start getting skin pilling and rolling off, which is a sign of exfoliation. I used to think it was silicone based products that were pilling themselves, but nope! It's skin. And it's gross! LOL I find this to be a mild, yet effective, affordable, middle of the road, product in this category. Retinol also works for acné - when my teen has a breakout, I have her use my Ebanel for a few days, and it clears up SO MUCH FASTER than on its own or with acne pads or cleansers! I can't say enough good things about this product!
