Also, I can’t vouch for firmer skin, as again, it’s just been a week.When you get a new tube of the Fresh Pressed Retinol (clearly marked in purple), you remove the silver seal and depress the purple bulb. This means that one tube lasts you yes, just 7 days.For me however, I am now on Day 8, sitting here thinking “So, what’s next?” Because if I’m to be serious, it is far too expensive for me to buy the Clinique Fresh Pressed Retinol serum when I can get another that can easily last me 2 months.Hi Hui Min, sorry for the belated reply! Or 14 days, if you can so happen to stretch the product?That’s a very valid question, and one I struggled to answer myself if only due to the cost of the product. The Clinique Fresh Pressed Clinical Overnight Booster with pure Vitamin A (Retinol) serum is in one word, a retinol serum. The thing with retinol (which I’d learnt from observing my skin over the years) is you need to be consistent. But because of how it’s sold and packaged, I’m also ready to move on. Don’t you have to wait at least a month for results?”Texture is a rather liquid, creamy coloured emulsion with no discernible scent.
I personally feel that Clinique would have retained more credibility (since they say they work with dermatologists) by releasing a full retinol serum.
I cannot vouch for line smoothening as it’s only been 1 week and I don’t have significant lines to boast of. I would have been much more positive about that. Great review by the way.If you read the instructions, and perhaps have more sensitive skin than I do, you can mix the Retinol serum into your moisturiser and apply it in one single step (Clinique recommends this for their Vitamin C serum too).So why does Clinique sell the Fresh Pressed Retinol serum ONLY with the Vitamin C serum? I am no expert, but based on my understanding, Tretinoin reacts more directly on skin, while retinol must first be converted to retinoic acid before it reacts. How I’d use it is to shake it up, and pump out 2 pumps of the retinol into my palm. So, the recommendation is to use it on days when you do not use retinol. It’s hard for me to tell if/when anything works, simply because I don’t have the problem with the lines, that is the most obvious thing it fixes. 2 product ratings. Used to use them alternately at night until I ditched Vitamin A. I felt my skin doesn’t need it and I’m good with Glycolic Acid. Do you know which is the difference between this and retinol? And, with vitamin C, AHAs and BHAs I’m very much confused as to what skin routine can I follow to minimize the most the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (I use sunscreen daily, moisturize and a serum from Bobbi brown).From my perspective, I think it was because they wanted consumers to understand that you need both Vitamin C and Vitamin A in your skincare routine.
Clinique Fresh Pressed Clinical™ Daily + Overnight Boosters with Pure Vitamins C 10% + A (Retinol) £139.00 The Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel is amazing for skin! Granted, this makes it more accessible to many in terms of cost, it will not bring the desired results in that period of time. I am writing this on Day 8, and there is a smidge left in the bottle which I will endeavour to squeeze out, but it is really otherwise empty.Yup, I’ve heard a lot about Differin, and it’s pretty affordable especially in our part of the world We can also easily get Tretinoin locally without a prescription (another affordable Vitamin A product often touted) I however have chosen not to use these as I feel that it’s too much for my needs.
