Eclat Skincare Retinol Serum for Face - Pure Retinol with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin E - Anti Aging & Anti Wrinkle Face Care - Retinol Serum for Dark Spot, Acne, Scar - Moisturising & Repairs 1 fl oz

Okay, so listen. I bought this serum thinking, “Maybe it’ll help with the fine lines forming from all the life decisions I didn’t make in my 20s.” Fast forward three weeks my skin is smoother.First use: Face tingled a bit. I panicked. Googled “is tingling normal?” Found out it is. Proceeded like a brave skincare warrior.Second week: Skin started looking like I actually sleep 8 hours a night instead of binge-watching true crime until 2 a.m.Third week: Coworker asked if I “did something different.” Yes, Cheryl. I’m finally moisturised and thriving.It’s got all the good stuff — retinol, hyaluronic acid, aloe, green tea — like a smoothie for your face but without the awkward green mustache. And it smells like skincare that knows its worth.Pro tip: Use sunscreen unless you want to fry like a forgotten pizza.Bottom line: 10/10 would recommend.

EDIT- it’s been another week & it’s still going great! tighter skin on cheeks, jowls & neck, wrinkles lessening and skin generally looks healthier! I just signed up to the monthly subscription for this serum 👍🏻After only 1 weeks use I can see a difference! It makes my skin feel tighter & plumper. It’s even had an effect on my deep forehead wrinkles already, (see before/after pics) I cant wait to see the difference after a month!!From first use it has been great. Used it nightly. Very faint scent, absorbs into skin super fast, non greasy.I have sensitive skin & this has not had any bad effects, really impressed! So much so that I’ve already ordered a second bottle of this retinol serum & I've ordered the hyaluronic serum for my morning routine!Over the years I have tried many different products, designer to high street, and have never come across Eclat Skincare. I will be trying more in this range & might end up making a permanent switch to this brand if the rest are as good as this serum! The prices are fantastic value for money. I would have expected to pay quadruple the cost for serum this good. Love it 💙

When I first used this product in October I jumped straight into it and started applying it every night. On the third night I didn't moisturise straight afterwards and a burn appeared on my nose, so then I let it heal for around 6 weeks before I started using the product again. Then I used it two nights a week and slowly built back up to using it every night. I'd also recommend cleansing, toning, retinol and ALWAYS night time moisturiser.I've been using this product around 3 months now and I have noticed an improvement in my skin, and hope it improves as I keep using it. They say it takes 6 months to really see a difference so it's worth having a try for such a small price**Update 3 days after writing this review (Feb)**My nose is burnt again but on the other side this time... Done a lot more research in to it and I think I know why it's happened again. So I have been washing my face with an acne cleanser followed by an acne toner, then the retinol and then moisturiser. This product should not be used in conjunction with AHAs (glycolic acid was in my cleanser) and BHAs (salicylic acid was in my toner). Once my nose has healed again I'm going to use the AHAs and BHAs on a morning but on the night time I'm going to cleanse using CeraVe hydrating cleanser, I won't use a toner, then retinol (pea sized amount), then night time moisturiser.I'll put another update on around April/May time. Hopefully my experience will prevent others from making the same mistakes! 🤞

I have used a huge amount of different serums, I love a good strong retinol serum and this one by Eclat at 2.5% is one of the strongest about. It leaves my skin baby-soft and never irritated at all. I love the price as well because it is so important these days to seek out the little gems like Eclat Retinol Serum which help us continue to enjoy the finer things in life like a fabulous skincare routine.

I love the texture of this retinol, and though I haven’t seen any miraculous results, there definitely are improvements since using this. It has quite a strong scent, it reminds me of an essential oil, though I can’t quite pin point it. Your skin feels beautifully moisturised and flexible after using this serum, perfect for my combination dry/oily skin. I have experienced no irritation whilst using the serum, however I had already been following an intensive skin care programme for 4 months before starting it. I’m very happy with this serum, and will be buying it again.

I have quite sensitive skin but used this almost nightly and had no reaction at all. I let it settle for 20 minutes minimum before putting on night time moisturiser and it felt really nice. My skin was soft in the morning. However after about 5 weeks usage and now having used the whole bottle I can confidently say I am yet to see any improvement with fine lines. I will probably try something with a higher strength or a bit more money as this hasn't worked for me
