Institut Esthederm Intensive Retinol Oil Serum

The oil was lightweight in texture, not oily at all, absorbed very easily, no smell which was good.

This is my first time using a retinol product so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The serum was light and pleasantly scented. I liked the instructions on when to use and I made sure I was using SPF as well to protect my skin. I think it’s too soon to see if it’s made any difference but my skin was clear and there was no irritation afterwards.

I am still testing this serum, only 4weeks in and find it quite nice to use just a bit fiddly for me personally with the dropper. It has made a noticeable difference already my skin seems so much brighter and wrinkles a little smoother hopefully after the recommended 2 months I will see a big improvement. I only received 18 December because of postal delays.

I have been using this oil serum for a week and a half in conjunction with the Institut Esthederm Retinol cream. What can I say, I am totally blown away with the results in such a short time. From the first use my skin felt smother and a week later, fine lines and dark spots had visibly reduced, even deeper wrinkles seemed to have improved in appearance. My skin continues to feel smoother and firmer, the serum left my skin feeling hydrated but not greasy. I had no issues with dryness or flaking which I have found in the past can be an issue with retinoids. Also there was no stinging when I applied it. The dropper bottle is very easy to use and looks quite luxurious. I absolutely love this product and will definitely be repurchasing it.

Skin is alot clearer and appears healthy and firmer

I love how the oil absorbed into my skin and completely retextured it making it so soft and smooth

Seemed soft on my skin but it did cause me to have puffy eyes

The Retinol oil serum, I feel was very good, it has lessened my fine lines around my eyes and even under my chin. It feels a very thick serum which seems to concentrate on the areas which need the extra support to reduce the fine lines.

I think it has improved the way my skin looks and feels

The serum was quite oily but obviously as it was only used for nighttime this wasn’t a problem. It was nice smelling and came in a good sized bottle. I’ve not seen any results yet but this may take longer than just a month. Would recommend

The serum is botox in a bottle. It is very rich, yet not oily on the skin. I only applied 3/4 drops at night on my face before following up with the retinol cream and it did wonders to my skin texture, wrinkles and glow in the morning. If you want something that works, just buy this amazing combo.

Very good quality product with a pleasant scent. Great moisturising properties.

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

The product comes in elegant packaging and it's easy to retrieve the correct amount. The product feels lovely and glides on your skin and sinks in very quickly. I did not have any irritation from the retinol and found that the product did reduce signs of aging. Definitely would recommed this!

The Institut Esthederm Intensive Retinol Oil isn't too heavy it is absorbed by the skin quickly. Which means the skin doesn't look greasy but healthier.It works well combined with their intensive retinol cream.
