   Buy it now!!! Best products ever that actually exceeds expectations. I use the LilyAna C serum after cleansing, then the LilyAna Eye Cream under and around eyes, eye lids, forehead, nasal creases, around mouth, under mouth/chin, neck, chest and top of HANDs…anywhere I don’t want wrinkles. Then I use the LilyAna Retinol cream everywhere and everywhere in between as above. I was SHOCKED to see results in the first week and was even more shocked to see my “sagging jawls” that I was starting to get improve. I started using this product because it is too risky to use botox directly under your eyes and I have Darth Vader eyes at 49. If I stop using my wrinkles do come back so I’m using this stuff for life. I have very sensitive skin and was prone to cystic acne before removing wheat from my diet and I have had zero negative effect from these products. You MUST USE SUNSCREEN and I found Daylong extreme SPF 50+ to be great for under makeup and not greasy or shinny. I have not had much dead skin come off but then I do the paper Korean mask; use COSRX low pH BHA Overnight Mask and Mamonde Petal Spa Oil to Foam cleanser. With these products I have had amazing results.

   This is a very good retinol cream that is gentle enough to use daily. I apply this creme every night after my essence. It sinks down deep into my skin and has made my skin softer. It also appears to be evening out my complexion. This is a great buy at a great price.

   The product line I usually use is no longer locally available, and seems to be getting harder and harder to find online, so I decided to move on. Summer’s coming (eventually, I hope), and I don’t like a lot of heavy creams and moisturizers on my face when it’s hot out, so I was looking for a serum especially, and maybe a more intensive treatment for nighttime. I found LilyAna naturals accidentally, while browsing new products online, and decided to give them a try-all the items I bought were around $20 USD or under, for 1.7 oz. of product, so I felt that I could afford to experiment-if they didn’t work for me, I could pass them along to my daughter, who is just beginning a skincare regimen. The labels reminded me of Victorian elixir bottle labels-I usually do not buy something based on its packaging, but I have to admit they caught my eye. I also liked the natural ingredients-as I grow older, I am less concerned with LOOKING younger than I am about FEELING younger, and I have begun to read labels and be concerned about what is in not only the things I put IN my body, but also the things I put ON it. This retinol cream does not include parabens, petroleum, phthalates, SLS, SLES, or any artificial colors or fragrances, and it is 71% organic. The retinol percentage is 2.5%.
   The cream comes in a pump bottle, and the directions say to apply twice a day every day, but I decided to start with once a day, at night only, until I was sure it wasn’t going to break me out. However, I think I will be able to start using this twice a day-I have noticed no irritation. It is a medium thick cream, and one pump is usually enough for my face, and down onto my neck. I even use it on the tops of my hands, with no problems. The cream absorbs fast, with no greasy feel, and there is no residue sitting on my face when I wake up the next morning-even when I apply it over a serum. I think this will be perfect for summer-it absorbs quickly enough to go under makeup and sunscreen, so it should be fine for day as well.
   It’s been a couple of weeks, and I have noticed that the texture of my skin is smooth and soft, and the tone is even-I wouldn’t call this a magic wrinkle reducer that will take ten years off your face, but it probably will improve the texture of your skin, and give it a softness and a glow. Realistically, this is not going to make anyone my age look twenty again-nothing outside of a doctor’s office will do that-but I think it’s more important to try to look your best at your present age, instead of stressing yourself out trying to look decades younger-beauty has no time limit! I will definitely repurchase, at least for summer.
   UPDATE: I will be repurchasing this-I haven’t quite run out. Recently, I went to a wedding where I ran into someone I haven’t seen for about ten years, and received such lovely compliments from them that I blushed all over the place. I am realistic enough to know that nothing in a bottle will make me look twenty again, but my aim has always been to look as good as I can for whatever age I am, and I think this product line (along with a good sunscreen!) is working well enough to be worth repurchasing. Still no breakouts, though I have cut back on how much I use, as I developed small dry patches after a couple weeks. They are going away, so I think I was just using too much in some areas of my face. It has lasted me long enough to be worth what I paid. I have since purchased the eye cream, which I passed on before, and I will review that as soon as I have used it for a while-stay tuned!

   If you’re like me, you’re constantly willing to try out something new; ESPECIALLY if it’s unheard of. If you look up “Lilyana Naturals” you will see that this company has AMAZING reviews, and a cult following. You will be enthralled by the amazing before and after photos. Once I saw THOSE, I couldn’t add this cream to my cart fast enough.

   This. Retinol. Cream. Is. Amazing. The ingredients are all organic, and the price is RIGHT. The cream is thick, goes on smooth, and a little bit goes a long way. It also has a nice light scent.

   This is my first ever retinol cream, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My bumps are flattening, my skin texture is getting better…it’s perfect in every way.

   I can’t recommend this cream enough! I’m excited to try more from the line.
