No.  I don't have any interest in Tretinoin.

Have you tried calling customer support and asking for a document of ingredient percentages? I agree, I think it should be on the bottle but if they'll provide the info upon asking, that's good, right?


@monicakm 

No, I haven't given any thought to calling them.  I don't necessarily think they need to put it on the bottle, but at least mention it on the website in the product description.

Hi Ladies ! I have had  baby fine hair all my life . I will be 60 in a few days and my hair has thinned a bit on top . You can see my scalp in certain spots and light  .I wear it in a short pixie and it is going salt and pepper . I sometimes watch the over 50 YOUTUBER Mary know as "Glitzy Fritzy " See has similiar hair and used Get-back-gorgeous-womens-hair-fibers. I decided to try it . It is wonderful . I got the dark brown since the hair in the back is dark almost black . I just ordered the gray for the front of my head.  I purchased the dark brown off their web and the gray from Amazon ( gray is only available on Amazon ) . Customer service was suberb ! I emailed them with questions and withing minutes got answers . 

Have a great day ladies . Look forward to hearing about everyones purchases .

These!

 

This serum is hydrating and brightening.  It's a thicker serum, which my dry skin really appreciates.  It wears well under make-up.

I've used the original Peptide serum for years.  I'm still using the original (last bottle), then I'll switch to this.  I actually mix this one with the one above.

This serum is similar to the first one, but since it has Retinol I save it for nighttime.  Super hydrating.  Both of these serums work GREAT under the eyes!!

I love her Retinol!  I still plan to try Naturium's when I'm done with this one, since that is one Naturium product I have NOT tried.

What is disappointing about Naturium is the company isn't transparent about the percentage of their ingredients, which I think is a bit disingenuous.  I know PC is more expensive but I know what I'm getting.  Who knows...I may go back to some of her serums when I'm done with Naturium.  I really like both, though, so I'm torn.


@SurferWife  - I have a question re the above.  Do you use the Super Antioxidant Serum WITH RETINOL and the 1% Retinol Treatment both at night or do you alternate nights?  Also do you use the Peptide and the Super Antioxidant WITHOUT Retinol in the morning only?  I used to use PC all the time but haven't tried the below - except I tried the 1% Retinol and my skin wasn't happy with it.

Oops, I forgot about this x3 and birthday gifts for my granddaughter.

For my warm strawberry blond granddaughter.  Their vacation this year is a road trip, with stops along the Gulf Coast to stay at air BNBs, to Florida.

I'm liking the Glow Recipe dew drops. I have applied them as a serum combined with moisturizers (works with various kinds), and used them as highlighter and eyeshadow primer. They are quite versatile. 

 

The ELF coconut hydrating spray is also good. It's a light mist with a subtle scent. I don't know if it works as setting spray, but I applied it over one of my highlighters and the highlighter stayed all day. I can try it over one of my skin tints.

I've been using Retinol for years so I can use it nightly.  Yes, I do use both the 1% Retinol and the Super Antioxidant Serum with Retinol nightly.  I'm sure some will say I don't need to but I do and I like it.  The serum is FABULOUS in the eye area, too.

I'm sure some will say I don't need to

 

you just do you. You know what works best for you. People have told me I don't need to use all the skin care that I use, that it's an overkill. But my complexion says otherwise.
