BEWARE OF OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE REVIEWS!!!
This cream had overwhelmingly positive reviews so I wanted to give it a try. I used to use neocutis retinol skin cream with good result but it costs a lot more than lilyanna’s retinol cream. I was thinking this cream has thousands of 5 star reviews so what can go wrong? I RELIGIOUSLY used this cream twice a day as directed. Used 2 bottles despite breaking out everywhere. I did not change any other skin care or make up routine other than introducing this product!. I initially thought maybe it was purging process so I’m going to be patient. My face was never bad to begin with. I get very occasional small pimples which usually go away in few days and few closed comedones here and there, otherwise I had pretty clear face. My goal was to aim for some extra glow. After 2 bottles of this cream, my face is COVERED with 100s of closed comedones and cystic acne and I’m not exaggerating on numbers. CYSTIC!!! I don’t even remember getting cystic acne as a teenager. I even broke out in places where I normally don’t break out, including my neck because I decided to apply it to my neck also. BUYERS BEWARE. It was a huge mistake on my part to get a cheap skincare product that I’ve never heard of. Now it’s gonna cost me more money bc I will probably need to visit dermatologist to fix the mess on my face. I would give this a NEGATIVE STAR if I had a choice🤬🤬😡🤬🤬
Update- I stopped using this cream and ended up going to dermatologist because my face was that bad. I was prescribed tretoin (retinol). 5 months later my face completely cleared. I went back to my regular moisturizer I used to use and no more acne. Ugh what a cream. I have never experienced cystic acne even as a teenager and this cream gave me LOTS in my 40s. It was not fun. Do yourself a favor and pass on this product. go buy reputable retinol cream. Don’t go cheap on your face or you will surely regret it and end up spending more money to fix it. Good luck! Just as a side note, when I posted update to this review, my review was first blocked despite having no offensive languages. I had to complain to amazon. When it finally got re-posted, they made sure it was the very last one under 1 star even though many people found my review helpful. So unless someone scrolls all the way down to hundreds of reviews, they won’t get to read my review. Interesting. Censor much?
