P.CALMRetinolagen Ampoule Shot Cream - Retinol & Vegan Hydrolyzed Collagen & Bakuchiol for Pore Tightening, Mositurizing, Korean Glass Skin (60ml / 2.02 fl.oz)

Great for skin

This is a hybrid between a gel and a cream. It’s on the tackier side when you first apply it, but it does absorb once you give it time to dry down. I have been pairing this with the ampule from the same line, and that’s really where I’ve seen the most benefits. I have really sensitive skin, and this is definitely on the gentle side for a retinol because I haven’t experienced any irritation. If this is your first time, try a product like this, I would definitely recommend a patch test and also to work your way up to using it regularly.This particular cream has some superstar ingredients. Specifically, it contains Bakuchiol, Which is a plant extract that essentially behaves in the same way that retinol does for the skin. It also contains both retinol and retinal, which are both well-known for their anti-aging benefits. The cream even contains several ingredients to help soothe and restore the skin barrier, such as panthenol and adenosine. Overall, I have been happy with this cream, and I think it’s pretty affordable considering the amount amount of ingredients it has.

I am loving this face cream. It's actually pretty light on my skin for a cream; it soaks right in and makes my skin feel and look hydrated. It does have retinal and retinol in it, so be sure to use sunscreen when using this product! UV light will destroy the retinoids, so you will want to make sure your skin is protected.I really like that there is retinal in this as it only takes one step to convert to retinoic acid and become active in the skin. Retinol takes two steps, so it's not quite as effective. This cream also has Gluconolactone which helps lift dead skin cells to help make your skin smooth and even. I noticed this within a couple of days of starting to use this cream.That's just the tip of the iceberg. This cream has a lot of fantastic ingredients for your skin.The full ingredient list is:Purified Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, Vinyl Dimethicone, Polylactic Acid, Succinic Acid, Gluconolactone, Bakuchiol, Retinal, removed comma ​Ascorbic Acid, Collagen Extract (10,000Ppb), Betaine, Panthenol, Retinol (475Ppb), Allantoin, Adenosine, Neem Flower Extract, Neem Leaf Extract, Turmeric Root Extract, Coral, ​Seahorse Extract, ​Ivy Gourd Fruit Extract, Holy Basil Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Lecithin, Sodium Acrylate/​Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cetearyl Olivate, Polyisobutene, Sorbitan Olivate, Carbomer, Arginine, Glyceryl Acrylate/​Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Caprylyl/​Capryl Glucoside, Sorbitan Oleate, Sodium Polyacrylate, ​Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 20, BHT, BHA

I am not someone who spends a lot on skincare. I believe most expensive products have something else out there that can accomplish the work without breaking the bank. This is about 3-4 times pricier than the moisturizing hydro gel that I use daily. Give. The price I was skeptical when I first tried the product. I found the consistency very similar to my hydro gel and that was a selling point of this product. It feels fresh and hydrating without seeming greasy. It dries to a matte finish and your face will almost feel powdery. But it doesn’t look powdery. I have been using this 2-3 nights per week on my face and neck after oil cleansing and toning at bedtime. I love the way my face feels with this on at bedtime. I frequently wake up feeling like my face is greasy and desperately need to wash it immediately on waking. I like the way my skin feels with this product on overnight, in the morning I don’t feel desperate to wash my face. I don’t even feel like I need to splash water. I just like how this feels. I still do wash my face in the morning…eventually.I like this product a lot and think I will reorder when I run out.

This cream is very good. It does everything it promises to do. My skin feels rejuvenated and fresh after using this. It does take a tick longer than some creams to fully sink in, so you will have an hour after application where it feels a bit tacky, but it does sink in eventually and fully. It has no scent, which is preferable as fragrance can irritate sensitive skin.This is a strong retinol for OTC formulations and I would recommend anyone not used to retinoids to ease into using this. Using this just a few times a week at first and buffering with another cream can help alleviate some of the irritation in fist time retinol users!

This is a very good moisturizer. It doesn't bother my skin and it has a pleasant scent that doesn't linger for all that long, but best of all, it really does moisturize my skin! As for tightening skin, I don't know that it did that for me. However, that's just my use case. Yours might be different.

This cream turned out to be a great addition to my skin care routine. Although I wouldn’t really call it a cream per se. I feel like it’s somewhere between a cream and a serum, closer to a cream once it’s applied. It was a little stickier at first but it absorbed quickly with no greasy residue. I have very sensitive skin and found this to be very soothing with no redness or breakouts from using it. My skin was visibly softer and smoother after the first application. I really appreciate the complete lack of scent and how far the product stretches. A little bit goes a long way.

This is a great all in one moisturizer for your skin it contains retinol in the form of Bakuchiol so it's a bit more gentle on your skin than traditional retinol formulas. But this still needs to be used with sunscreen because your skin will be more sensitive over time. This has helped fight hyperpigmentation for me and cleared out my pores. I didn't have many fine lines to begin with so I can attest to that but I can say I have noticed an overall "smoothness" to my skin. I would say it's a good size amount of product for what you pay. Overall this is great!
