Reddit reviews LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Moisturizer 1.7 Oz

Yes, I have tried their tret cream and their vitamin c serum and both were AMAZING and didn’t break me out at all. They’re not talked about much on this sub haha idk why. I started off very slow with the tret cream and didn’t purge either. I also like them because they use a lot of natural ingredients. They’re mainly sold on amazon. Hope you enjoy them too❤️

I started to get a few pimples when I went off birth control (fortunately it stopped once I got pregnant). I started using [this cleaning sponge] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000052YJG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with a Kiehls face wash and [this retinol cream] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ES349CY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I thought it worked well!

I've recently switched to all natural skin care. I've used La Mer at $250 per pot and I find the stuff I use now to be just as good and with fewer breakouts and irritation. Here's the moisturizer and retinol I use it that doesn't break the bank and is cruelty-free:

Retinol | Moisturizer.

Here's photo of my skin after using it for a couple weeks

Good luck!

Samesies. I use Retinol and an Amazon Healing Clay Mask every week or so. You mix the clay powder with a bit of vinegar and leave it on until it's dry...make sure not to put it down the drain! It's a pain in the ass to get off but it works wonders.

Aww I'm sorry! Wait, are they like under your lower eyelid? I think I have those too! I've tried to pop them but they're really hard to do, which I'm weirdly okay with because if they were easy and satisfying I'd probably mitilate myself. I'm working on not taking popping too far. :/

Oh but also, when I used this moisturizer before bed, they started to smooth out and almost go away. I got lazy and stopped using it, but maybe it could help you. LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Moisturizer 1.7 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ES349CY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BfFCCbYNMAY6G

Yeah I do wish mine came in a larger pack. I would say make the switch because of "cruelty free" but I actually learned Simple brand is not, which was a surprise to me! They don't use animal products, but they still some-what test on them. :/ I am definitely going to check out the Lily cream because that sounds great!! Is this the one you use:

I'm losing hope. I'm 32 years old and I've had acne my whole life, but this is much different than normal acne.

I've had two dermatologists wave my concerns away. Both only suggested hair removal, but that's very expensive. My skin is very sensitive and oily. I also have very thick curly hair. This hair also happens to bless my face and certain spots get horrible ingrown hairs. I know it's not really have acne, as each eruption won't heal until the offending hair is completely removed. There's usually lymph fluids as well as solid white materials when purged. As soon as the dark hair is removed, the eruption heals up. The skin around my mouth and chin is mostly effected, but my checks also get infected ingrown hairs.

I shave my face every day (I'm a woman and the hairs are very visible on my pale skin) with a sharp executive dollarshaveclub.com razor that sit in barbacide when not in use and a shaving oil designed to guard against ingrown hairs. I dip the razor into hot water in between strokes. I can't really shave with or against the grain as the hair grows in crazy directions. I change the razor blade weekly.

I tried using Head and Shoulders, thinking maybe it was a fungal thing, but that didn't really helped. These ingrown infections come on with no rhthym or reason, so I don't think it's hormonally related, also I have had several scans and tests that cleared me of PCOS. I've also used physical exfoliation, no luck. These ingrown hairs make me look terrible and have already seriously damaged my skin. After being turned away by the doctors, I found this sub and I'm hoping you guys can help. I've followed the basic skincare list and nothing works. I'm getting married in a few months and I really don't want to look like a pizza face. Please help!

​

Here's a list of everything I've tried recently:Kerah Lane Razor Bump & Ingrown Hair Formula

The Ordinary Peeling Solution 30ml AHA 30% + BHA 2% (this helped briefly, but the eruptions came roaring back after a week of clear skin and it hasn't helped since)

Glycolic Facial Cleanser

Retinol Serum 2.5% with Hyaluronic Acid

LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Moisturizer 1

​

Right now I'm just washing with Bronner's soap, using Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel and finishing with a Cevera lotion. It's also not helping, but I don't know if anything ever will.

I think I'm going to go with the Sebamed Fragrance Free Gentle Face and Body Hydrating Cleanser from the rec sheet and a konjac sponge. This came up in my recommendations:

If I decide to step up to that, is a combo cream like this a good idea? They seem to have a vitamin C version too lots of reviewers use along with it. Basically I'm trying to find ways to combine steps so I'm not using a gajillion products lol

I used to be like this, but I slather Cerave on at night before bed so I just assumed it was a combo of super oily skin, and lotion. I started to use Retinol Cream and the very next day I woke up, and my skin was not oily, but seemed normal!

Can someone please explain what's the deal with these "retinol" creams you see all over Amazon, but don't offer any percentage and recommend to use them twice daily?

After researching a bit online I decided to start using a retinol cream. I'm 25, so I don't have any wrinkles yet, but I still get some acne and I have heard retinol creams can be good for that.

I use a plain untreated konjac sponge with a foaming cleanser from Beyond (a Korean brand) and an oil cleanser (also from Beyond) to wash my face twice a day. During the day I use Beyond Aqua BB Cream with SPF 30 (this is one of the only Korean brands that I have found to be cruelty free, so I use a lot of their stuff, haha.) Most of my other makeup is Kat Von D and Physicians Formula from the US if that makes a difference. I use mud masks and sheet masks off and on.

I have been using this retinol cream from Lilyana Naturals on my face and it tingled the first few times I used it, but I haven't encountered any peeling issues and after using it for 9 weeks, and my face looks really nice. Some of my acne seems to be clearing up and when I wake up my skin is firm and smooth, not oily. Since I have had such good luck with the first cream, I decided that maybe I needed a dedicated eye cream, so I randomly picked this one up at a department store. The first time I used it IT BURNED. It wasn't just a tingle, it really felt unpleasant. I washed it off and put a cloth under eye treatment on that I had lying around to soothe my skin.

Now, you guys might think this is stupid, but about a week later I decided to try using it a few more times since I have heard retinol creams can burn and I don't really like throwing away products. In the morning after using it, the circles under my eyes are nice, not red, very smooth. It still hurts when I apply it, so I'm wondering if this is supposed to happen. I have used the other cream in the same under eye area without any burning. It seems obvious that I should stop using the under eye cream and just use the original Lilyana Retinol cream that I purchased from Amazon all over my face, but I still want to know if the burning is normal. It doesn't seem like I am allergic since I haven't encountered any redness or bumps from the cream. I just don't know if it's one of those magical things like glycolic masks or garlic masks that are kind of supposed to sting, or if something very bad is happening that warrants throwing the bottle out.

Anyway, I hope this question isn't too stupid. Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer, and I hope I gave enough information.

I’ve been seeing lots of rave reviews on this found on amazon.

Get yourself some retinol cream for your face as well.
