I’m 75 and have always shied away from retinol from the derm office as it’s too harsh on my skin. Three weeks ago a Sephora rep introduced me to the starter set (cleanser, lactic acid, and retinol reform). After just TWO WEEKS I noticed my skin’s texture had definitely improved! My dermatologist noticed, as well, when I went in for a little Botox touch up! ( I’m up to using the retinol 3 times a week and the lactic acid 3 times a week. )Yesterday I took advantage of Sephora’s sales and bought another starter set - great for traveling, too! I LOVE that it’s not making my skin flaky or irritable, only glowy and smooth! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
