Changed from Ole
I have been using this for a month now and I don't usually write Amazon reviews, but I think I can help some people make an informed decision. First, I have combo skin, oily in the tzone, which can become a slip and slide if I'm not careful, with normal skin on the perimeter of my face. My skin is also considered dehydrated, which is why I can become super oily. I also have massive pores on my chin, cheeks, nose and for head. I do have wrinkles, smile line and forehead expression lines. Lastly, I am extremely prone to blackheads.
I am very strict with my facial regime and I was using Ole Henkrisen as my serum go to. I used their vitamin c serum in the am and their invigorating night serum in the pm. I have used them together now for the past year. While I love them, the price of them will make an teacher like myself vomit. I went out on a search looking for similar products. I stumbled upon TruSkin Naturals and after reading reviews, I decided to try the vitamin c serum and this retinol vitamin c super serum.
Their shipping and service was an amazing experience. The Co CEO or founder, Erika emailed me information on the products and she checked in with me after a few weeks. Responding was no big deal because of my experience with the series.
I use the vitamin c serum in the am after my own homemade toner and before the Boscia black moisturizer. I use 4 drops all over my face and around my eyes. My skin transitioned nicely with this serum from the Ole one. However, it seems to like this one better. I don't get as oily during the day as I did before. With the weather heating up, you would think I would get more oily. I can see a difference in the brightness of my skin and the evenness of the tone.
At night, I use this super c serum, 4 drops under my eyes and all over my face. Again, it goes on after my toner followed by the same moisturizer. I do use it every night, although they say to use 2-3x a week. My skin has not had any terrible reactions to it and it also transitioned to this beautifully. This serum has made my wrinkles less noticeable and has tightened my pores dramatically. So far I would say 50%. It did take a few weeks to see real results. I have been using both for a month now.
I truly feel that I have found something better for my skin than the $90 serums I was using before. I am dying to try their toner and facial spray next. Also, I can't wait to see what month two will do for my skin. They have gained a customer for life. I have recommended these to friends and plan on giving them as Christmas gifts this year. Something I never do because skin care is so personal, but I absolutely believe these are great for everyone.
