La Deessa 2.5% Retinol Anti-Aging Elixir Serum Review + #Giveaway (3 WINNERS) 7/27 US

I've tried numerous brands and types of serums and most of them are gentle and works effectively when used properly and regularly. I use several types of serum at night because of the different benefits of each serum. Recently, I received a pack of 3 different serums from La Deessa (stick around for a giveaway wherein 3 winners will receive the same prize pack I received!:)) and swapped my current serums to try this one.

The first one I'll talk about is the La Deessa 2.5% Retinol Anti-Aging Elixir. Here is a quick product description from the company:

This Powerful 2.5% Retinol Formula Penetrates Deeply To Improve Hyper Pigmentation, Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Skin Texture, Skin Tone & Color While Nourishing and Hydrating Your Skin. LUMINOUS Retinol Serum Is 72% Certified Organic - Organic Aloe, Wild Crafted Witch Hazel, Organic Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E & Green Tea.
 

• HOW VITAMIN A WORKS: Vitamin A is molecularly structured to penetrate deeply into all three layer so the skin allowing it to not only reach but activate both collagen and elastin.

The La Deessa 2.5% Retinol Anti-Aging Elixir Serum arrived in a 1fl.oz. amber bottle with a built-in pump to dispense the serum. It has a clear, thicker than water but thinner than gel-like consistency which is neither greasy nor heavy on the skin. It absorbs pretty quickly and doesn't feel sticky when applied on the skin.

It is fragrance free but I can smell a super subtle aloe vera-like scent which can be because this is a plant-based product.

The La Deessa 2.5% Retinol glides on smoothly and I like that it's gentle. It didn't cause any irritation or redness on my skin and didn't cause any peeling as well. I use this daily at night, together with the La Deessa Vitamin C Serum and the La Deessa Eye Serum and I love that they work well together.

After using this for about 2 weeks, I noticed a difference on my skin's tone, which became more even than before. I also like that this didn't cause my any breakouts. This serum also helped brighten my complexion which is a bit dull this couple of weeks. Maybe it's because of the warm temperature but I'm glad this helped with that.

It's easy to use and less than 1 pump is all I need per application. A little goes a long way so this bottle will last me more than a month.
