I have been using this for a while now and don't find the smell bad at all. I used it every night. Highly recommend. The texture of my skin has greatly improved, I don't get dry patches anymore and rarely get breakouts :)

Thank you Anne. I have tried this serum and think it is a magic potion. Yes, it is expensive but yields very quick results. The downside is the smell which reminded me of smoked bacon. However this does not linger.

Maybe they changed the smell because this is 2024 and my serum smells delicious cinnamon ! Love it so much it is strong with aha to gles quite a bit and I had no idea it would have retinol in it til after I bought it I'm dumb but the retinol so far isn't hurting my skin so far that is...use it myself 3 times a week and it is super hydrating and feels thick heavy serum to me with silicones I think...usually they break me out but not so far and I think it's because the actives are keeping me from breaking out...strong actives in this one

Interesting serum..... however, a very high percentage of glycolic acid combined with a retinoid....a little strong in my opinion....never tried any product from this brand????🤔

I thought it would be strong too, but absolutely no irritation. I guess the pH takes away from the acid effect, which makes it more bearable. The brand has been around for a long time, they were on of my first expensive skincare loves.

I have been wanting to try this out. I currently use the concentrated brightening essence by Tata Harper at night as a serum, then follow up with the retexture activator by skinceuticals which has a 20% glycolic acid in it. Is it okay to add the Alpha H liquid gold exfoliant too? Or will it be too much? I have a normal to dry skin type.

You don't need too different Glycolic Acid serums, that would be too much for most skins, and even if it wasn't, it wouldn't give you much benefit either.

To be fair, I don’t think you would be going to astray if you bought a glycolic acid product and a retin-ol/-al and used them at the same time. But glycolic acid seems to be underrated as an “anti-ageing” ingredient nowadays. Personally, I don’t think I could tolerate 14% unless the pH is quite high. For me, lactic acid is much more tolerable

@@DoctorAnne that makes more sense. Someone reviewed the Eucerin Oil Control Sunscreen I like and called it “too shiny”. So, maybe for oily skinned people it isn’t as drying as I thought.

I guess you could gain weight, that would add volume to the face eventually. But even with retinoids that stimulate collagen production I don't think you will be able to actually see a difference.

If you need one depends on the climate you live in and your skin type, but I would suggest using one if your skin isn't very oily and you live in a hot and humid climate. Any moisturizer without added actives will work fine.

Hi good information thanks.zI bought the serum and liquid gold I started using just serum to test for two weeks All good then I literally woke with a breakout of spots on my face Ive never had spots in my life..Not sure if this is normal I was advised to keep using because its purging..Whatever it is its upsetting any advise would be welcome..!! I should add ive been using retinols( not prescription) for many years I just fancied a change..!
@DoctorAnne

It is possible that it is purging, but it might also be that it doesn't agree with your skin. If you never had spots before, purging isn't very likely. It could be other things that lead to the breakouts though, like hormonal changes or changes in climate or food, and the serum is just a coincidence.

Sounded great, until you mentioned the price 😆. I'm afraid, my going on mature skin will have to do without it. Sounds like a good product, though. But speaking of affordable...I just bought a Balea product, which I had never noticed before. A fragrance free AHA Peeling with Niacinamide in a Pump Spender. The ingredients read really promising, I gotta say. Can't link or KZitem will probably delete my comment,so: AQUA, NIACINAMIDE, GLYCERIN, GLYCOLIC ACID, MANDELIC ACID, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, PANTHENOL, SCLEROTIUM GUM, ALLANTOIN, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, SODIUM BENZOATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, TRISODIUM ETHYLENEDIAMINDE DISUCCINATE. At 3,95 for 30ml it would really be a steal, if it works well. I'm so glad, they're jumping on the 'fragrance free' bandwagon - I've noticed a number of new products.
