Feels great
I really liked and will continue to enjoy using this retinol serum. The consistency of the product and the way it soaked into my skin was so nice. It also didn’t have the tingling feeing you sometimes get with these products. Overall really enjoyed this product.

Magic Serum
Beautiful light weighted serum, absorbed really quickly. I m using this serum more than 3 weeks, and the difference truly amazing. My skin glow, well hydrated, plumed and the little fine lines are disappearing. I m really happy with this product and highly recommended

Cleared up my skin in less than a month
The texture of this serum is very moisturising and does not feel sticky or heavy at all on the skin. It has a very light tingling sensation when you put it on and you only need 2 pumps per night. After using it for 3-4 weeks I noticed that the redness in my cheeks had reduced and I had less blotching. I also noticed fewer bumps and my skin, especially on my cheeks, was a lot smoother in feel. Would recommend this product for anyone wanting to clear up their bumps and hydrate their skin. My skin is definitely more plump and youthful looking.

Beautiful texture
I’ve used a lot of Mecca Cosmetica products in the past and I love anti aging products so I was excited to try this product. The packaging is a pump which is my favourite and it dispenses the right amount of product. The serum felt beautiful as I applied to the skin and soaked in quickly. I didn’t experience any dryness which is something that can happen from retinol products. It does have a smell about it but that’s just the actives they have used. I like that there isn’t any added fragrance. I would repurchase

Better than high end!
I really enjoyed this retinol. I have used a high end very expensive retinol before, and this one is just as good! Same smell, same texture, and same results. My skin was brighter and firmer. It didn’t make my face red, or irritated at all. I will continue to use this in my daily face regime.

Effective and soft retinol serum
At 37, I have definitely noticed the fine lines on my face have started to deepen, and it has been challenging to find a serum that is gentle and also effective at targeting them. To my delight, after using Mecca Cosmetica Restoring Retinol Serum for a month I have noticed my fine lines have plumped up and are less noticeable, particularly the line between my eyebrows. The serum is luxuriously soft, it applied smoothly to my skin, and it absorbed quickly. I also found that I did not have any reaction to the retinol so I was able to increase how frequently I used it sooner than expected. I also feel like the overall texture of my skin has become smoother and I am actually using less makeup on certain areas of my face. The bottle for the retinol serum is also quite sophisticated and sleek, and I appreciated that attention to detail.

Love love love
Love Mecca Cosmetica Restoring Retionol Serum. I’ve been looking for a retinol for a while now so when this came to be I was excited to try. It feels amazing on and left my skin feeling plump and smooth. Notice clearer skin after about 2 weeks and lines fading or not as deep after about week 3. Will definitely be buying more.

Amazing staple for my skincare routine
Since using Mecca Cosmetica Restoring Retinol Serum I have noticed a change in my skin for the good, the serum is light weight and doesn't leave an oily texture at all once rubbed in, my skin is looking clearer and healthier. I will definitely be adding this to my skincare routine going forward.

Retinol for the win!
I’ve been a little sceptical about retinols in the past but I think I’m converted. My skin did get a little dry at one point so I took an extra days break. By the end of the 4 weeks I’m using daily (unless I forget!) I have noticed my skin is more sensitive to sun so recommend covering up and wearing sunscreen. I also felt some warm mess some mornings after cleansing and I bit of redness but nothing to worry about Overall my skin is looking fresh and I look forward to continuing and seeing the results.

Smooth & soft skin after Mecca Cosmetica
I thought this serum is very good in terms of and quality and appearance. The grainy texture felt like it was really focusing on maintaining smooth skin. The bottle has a very feminine look which looks great in wanting to purchase the Mecca Cosmetica serum. This brand is a popular one which made me very interested in trying it, and I glad I did.

Effective.
I really enjoyed trialling this product over the past month. Unlike some other retinols I have tried in the past, I found this pleasant to use and not drying on the skin. I have noticed some softening of fine lines around my eyes and on my forehead, and hope to continue to see stronger results with continued use. I have been sensitive to some retinols, but had no issue with this one, perhaps thanks to the inclusion of hydrating ingredients. No offensive smell and a nice texture. I also like the packaging as it works well but also looks luxe without the huge price tag.

The fountain of youth serum
This serum is wonderful. My skin had lines and dark circles under my eyes and over a couple of weeks I couldn't believe that my lines and dark circles hve disappeared. My skin was also glowing. It is amazing to see a product that doesn't cost over $100 and to be able to see direct results in only a few weeks! The fountain of youth is in this Mecca cosmetically restoring retinol serum! Now I can look young again even though I'm decade's old!

Mecca face serum. Beautiful product
I was very surprised that this serium was so general on my skin. I had no irritation at all. As someone who has used retinol before and had lots of irritation this product was the opposite. My skin appeared to be clearer within a short time and was very lightweight. Quickly absorbed into the skin and didn’t feel oily. Would definitely recommend this product

Works well but a bit pricey
I liked the feel of this serum, feels light on the skin, not overly oily feeling and heavy like some can be. It made my skin feel very smooth and refreshed, overall a good product. Only down side is it is about $20 more than the serum I use now and the feel and results aren't all that different
