Institut Esthederm Intensive Retinol Oil Serum

Really good product. Very easy to apply and left skin feeling lovely

After the first couple of days my skin started to feel so much better. After a week people started noticing that my skin was looking healthy and more hydrated

Excellent product. Perfect texture. Made my skin feel lovely and supple. Hopefully when review again in 4 weeks my fine lines will be even finer.

This was really lovely to use. I found the instructions very useful, as I had been putting a serum on in the morning, but I actually prefer using at night now. The serum itself was a dream to use. While it initially felt oily, it sank in beautifully, and did not irritate my sometimes sensitive skin at all. There was no feeling of a greasy layer on my skin, rather that it really was absorbed while leaving a beautiful softness behind. I had no problems with breakouts, and even minor hormonal blemishes were not exacerbated in any way. I used just four drops, which was perfectly adequate. My skin has felt both smoother and firmer since using it. What a lovely product!

Packaging and labelling very good. Bottle comes with a little dropper applicator. I used 4 drops per application and found it sank it very well and quickly didn't leave a residue and sat well under the moisturiser. After using both products together my skin definitely felt like it had had a pamper and felt like a luxury product.

It is like a dream to my skin. My skin feels so soft after using this product.

I have read up on retinol to be a must for anti-aging skincare. This retinol oil seeps into the skin easily without any residue and leaves a lovely warm glow. I am new to retinol and like the percentage of retinol in this product for new users, thus less irritating and you only need a small amount - in this case less is more. If you have sensitive skin I would suggest using it a few days a week to start and build it up slowly. As a skincare enthusiast I would suggest reformulating without fragrance and then this would be a fantastic product.

Been using this for 2 weeks now, found it to be quite greasy on my skin at first so only used 2 drops and warmed in my palms. Seeps right into my skin. Have noticed a small difference in pigmentation, will continue to use as I like this product and have high hopes for it to help with wrinkles, mine are quite deep so will take a while :-)

Just moved from a warm and humid environment to dry and cold weather and fine lines were already troubling me. I wanted to give a try to a new product for my fine lines and ageing skin. I tried a couple of products but I must say insitut was better than the other ones. Only thing needs to be taken care is , don’t apply the serum near eye area. I was not able to understand why In the morning my eyes are looking puffy the only thing I was applying serum and cream in the night. Then I avoid serum in the night and even day time not to near eyes. Now how did it makes me feel better. It makes ur skin super moisturised even its has a thick consistency but it absorbs so well. It’s been not much time but I can see the texture of my skin is improving and fine lines are a bit fading. M hoping the best to come after using it for a long time

You only have to use a few drops of the serum and only use it for a short time to see the results. My skin definitely looks smoother and has a glow. You must avoid the delicate eye area as the serum would be too strong. My skin felt plump in the morning and looked refreshed. I'm pleased that I am testing it in the winter as I would be cautious of sun exposure when wearing the serum. The drum glides on perfectly and it feels good to massage it into my skin.

I have never tried a retinol products and didn't quite know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised after the first application. My skin instantly felt smooth and soft. After applying I can feel the richness of the product. Absolutely love it!

A lovely serum which felt luxurious and worked very well when complemented with the retinol cream. It has no harsh scent which I found to be a bonus. I used it every evening as advised on the pack however I did find the product initially to be a little too greasy for my liking however it does absorb into the skin very well and I just changed how much applied each evening. In the morning my skin felt lovely and soft and smooth. I did not need to use much so a lot does go a long way. The wrinkles around my eyes which I have been concerned about for a while are now starting to diminish which is great. The packaging is also attractive and looks high end. Would definitely recommend this product!

Left my skin feeling smooth and firmer and reduce signs of wrinkles

I loved this oil serum. It is not a sticky oil at all. It works as a dry oil which is amazing as my skin is combination. You could apply this on its own or combine with the retinol cream. Really good combo!

Really lovely smell and texture. Easily absorbed and not too greasy.
