Vitamin C Serum For Face - Brightening Face Oil for Dark & Age Spots - For Dry & Sensitive Skin with Vitamin E for Soft Smooth Glow - Dermatologist Tested, 1 Fl Oz - Mothers Day Gifts

I ordered this based on a few things; price point can't be beat and the Hyaluronic Acid serum from Tree of Life is a good product. I use the Tree of Life Vitamin C serum under Cetaphil's Healthy Renew retinol cream 3 days a week and my skin is really soft and smooth and looks pretty good. I am 63 and can really see a difference after a few weeks of using the Vitamin C serum. It's non-irritating and I think does a good job. If I use the Vitamin C serum w/ retinol more than 3 days a week, my skin gets a tiny bit red, but that is to be expected. It's worth trying if you want to even out skin tone. Also try the Hyaluronic Acid from Tree of Life. It's a great product.

I use this everyday and it adds a smoothness to my skin. I've reordered it several times and now have on subscribe and save.

I wanted to give this a thorough review so that when you decide on buying this you are comfortable in your decision. I bought this product in June to add to my new regimen in clearing my acne and diminishing once and for all my acne scars on my jawline and on my neck. For reference I am a African American college student with acne prone, sensitive and oily skin. When I first used this it did not break me out which is always a plus and did not make my oily skin even more oily. As days went by my skin seemed brighter overall and this gave me a slight glow. After a whole month of using this product I will say this has made my skin appear even in tone and much brighter and that is why I gave it four stars. Now regarding my acne scars, this is why its not five stars. Now listen to me, I am impatient and have had these scars for four years so my expectations for this were high. Reviews have stated this product has lightened their scars in a matter of weeks, so forgive me for being highly optimistic. However, the experiences I had with this only heightened my naivety to vitamin c serums and what it would take to cure my age old acne scars. I understand that products fighting hyper pigmentation do not work overnight, but I have used this twice a day with sunscreen in the mornings for a month and the bottle will be almost finished in the coming week. I am not asking for a miracle tomorrow for these scars, but just to see if my skin if at all is effected by the one-month use of this. I am not going to lie, one scar on my face has lightened a shade during the duration of using it, but I don't know if it truly was this or the glycolic acid toner I have been using. You decide that. However, for the rest of my face and the scars on my neck my scars are still very much prominent. I wanted something potent and this product is not potent enough FOR ME. The vitamin c that is used here is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which is a more convenient and tolerable form of vitamin c. This acid is best for acne prone skin since it doesn't cause much irritation. This ingredient is also why this product is still okay if you store it in a medicine cabinet. A plus for those who hate storing products for their face in their fridge, but not so great for those who need very potent products to get rid of very stubborn acne scars. I realized that this vitamin c wasn’t really potent when I didn't see the most common potent form of vitamin c in the ingredient list, L-absorbic acid. That acid would be more beneficial for those with very stubborn acne scars but because of its high potentness' and its mixture with other derivatives it may cause irritation for those with acne prone and sensitive skin which is why using a site like cosdna.com and seeing how ingredients react to your skin would come in handy. Overall, would I recommend this product? Definitely for those who have light acne scars, sensitive skin and needs a proper intro to vitamin c. However, for me personally, buying tree of life every month is just not beneficial for me and the ingredient sodium ascorbyl phosphate is just not strong enough for these age old scars I have so I will look for products with L-asorbic acid.

Okay - I do not leave reviews unless I honestly love a product/products, and I know it can be hard to know (on Amazon) these days who’s a REAL customer & who isn’t. I’m real, folks! I paid full price and received nothing for free, so please hear what I’m saying about these products. We are in the fight for beautiful, younger, fresher skin together! I bought these 3 serums and have used them for the past week (since receiving my shipment quickly...within 24 hrs) and WOW! When my husband said,”Oh my God! No joke babe, your skin looks younger - YOU look younger...” and he was right! Usually would take weeks to see a difference, but let me tell you, this was immediate. I also purchased a derma roller to use with the serums a few days a week. I’ll explain below! I’m about to turn 43 years old & my skin has/had become “ruddy”, red, splotchy, uneven texture, some hyper-pigmentation (i.e. age spots) with dry patches and then a super-oily t-zone - ahhhhhh!! Then, there are the lovely fine lines & wrinkles that were developing around my mouth, forehead, and between brows as well. If you’re over 40, you know what I’m saying.. Okay, so I also bought a derma roller to use as well. I also use Zinc bar soap for my daily face wash - and I had been out of my Zinc soap for a couple of months, which is no bueno for my skin. Zinc soap is great for redness, rosacea, flakiness around nose and eyebrows (which you may think is dry skin, but it’s actually flakes produced from excessive oil in those areas....so it helps that PLUS helps with my redness in other areas on my face, AND doesn’t dry my skin out...so I highly recommend a Zinc soap if any of you gals are dealing with what looks like dry flakes in/around eyebrows and nose! Get the Zinc soap! It’s about $8-$10 on Amazon). So, in the a.m., day #1, washed with Zinc Soap, rinsed with warm water (not hot), then got my derma roller out (it has tiny little needles on it, so NOT the jade roller, but a derma roller- WITH needles), washed it with rubbing alcohol first to sterilize, then held my skin taught and rolled up & down my face vertically (whole face...lips too - and make a face to stretch your lips taught, otherwise it won’t work on the lips 👄), then went back over my entire face horizontally (I watched several videos on how to safely use the derma roller, so please watch some videos so that you don’t overdo it), my face was a little red, but it did not hurt at all. It creates tiny little “holes” (or little “traumas” if you will) that your body will send collagen to fix, thus forcing collagen into those areas to repair and rejuvenate- GENIUS! So, THEN you go and put those 3 serums on right over the freshly derma rolled skin, and BOOM! My skin LITERALLY plumped up before my eyes! I put vitamin C on first, then use the cool setting on my blowdryer to blow it dry a bit, then I do the retinol serum, then cool dry a bit to allow it to absorb, then I put the last serum on after that and let it sink in. That evening I washed my face with Zinc soap before bed and then use Tree Of Life Moisturizer Cream with retinol and hyarulonic acid afterward and sleep with that stuff on. A little goes a long way with Tree of Life serums and mousturizers too, so don’t feel like you have to slather it on. You don’t! I put my makeup on right over the top of the serums (I wait about 30 min before applying makeup, just to allow the serums to soak in. I allow 1 to 2 days between derma rolling, and just do my zinc soap for face wash and then I apply the serums as usual, without the derma roller on the “in-between-derma-rolling-days”. My fine lines are definitely less noticeable and the places with hyper pigmentation have faded out quite a bit (not entirely- but dude, it’s been literally like 6 days...so IMAGINE what my skin will look like in a month?!). Also, my skin texture is absolutely smoother and the color is SO much more even already. Let me be clear though, my skin is totally red after I apply the serums...and then it calms. It doesn’t hurt whatsoever, but initially I am red right after applying. Especially after derma rolling and applying - expect immediate redness and then it will go away. I’ve used a lot of serums, and these 3 are the best I’ve found! Purchase them! Be diligent and apply daily - there is NO WAY that you aren’t going to see improvement in your skin! Younger, softer, smoother skin is here. Awesome job, Tree of Life!

I had a review out here from 2021 but it’s been removed and not sure why. Basically I bought these after noticing that my friend’s skin was looking nice and clear and she recommended this product to me. My skincare routine at the time (30s F, oily skin with some occasional dry patches on my chin and nose, a few zits that would pop up with my cycle) = AM: rinse my face off with water, PM: wash with Cetaphil face wash, sometimes used moisturizer but often skipped. At that point I had only just started to try and wear sunscreen but only when I knew I’d be outside for a while. Wish I would’ve worn sunscreen daily before then. My sisters have worn sunscreen for years and my face looks like pizza cheese next to theirs. Followed the order that the seller recommended when applying the serums but used the retinol daily instead of spacing it out because I just missed reading that part. I also started to incorporate an OTC toner at night but other than that and the serums, nothing new was done and I still had my original routine. First couple of days: My pores got clogged and I’m not sure why. They were huge as well and I used a little pore tool to unclog them and it was gross. My face was even more oily as well, which is probably because of the additional moisture. I didn’t experience any breakouts though. Two week- one month mark: Still consistent with the new routine even though it was tiring. The weird thing that happened with my pores didn’t happen again. I noticed some dry skin patches around my eyes and learned that retinol can do that. My face was still oily as hell and looked ridiculously shiny in Zoom meetings. I had to start using oil absorbing sheets daily. I did notice my acne around that time of month was not as bad so took that as a positive. Around the two month mark: I remember hating the new routine because I found it exhausting but knew consistency was important for results, so I remained consistent. My skin was still so oily and my usual cyclical acne returned. So not worse and not better. I felt like I noticed some marginal improvement to the evenness of my skin but not anything special. Still decided to keep going. Around the four to five month mark: The routine was exhausting and my face… So. Much. Oil. I didn’t see any significant changes to the appearance of my skin and let me tell you, neither did anyone else. The effort was not worth the barely noticeable results in my case but I know not all skin reacts the same way.

I am new to Rentinol A. I have never used it before and I have had it for 8 days now. When I first used it, my skin tingled and I thought ‘oh no, this is gonna burn’. But that passed after 15 minutes or so. So the next morning I used it again. I only do a pea size amount for face. So nothing. Then again that evening and nothing. Several days go by applying day and night and nothing. I do not put anything over it till several hours, which is vitamin c, which I only started using right around Christmas. Which is also the same time I started Derma Rolling my face. I thought to myself, this is like water, it is not doing nothing. Someone like myself that has never used any skin care products, shouldn’t I feel something if it is this high in potency. So after I Derma rolled the second time, I was bleeding from the needling and applied it right afterward and still nothing. This was the second or third day of having the retinol A. After about a few days later, I saw some light flaking, so I realize that it is working. I must just not have sensitive skin. So now I realize how baby smooth my skin is. In the last three weeks I have Derma rolled twice while using vitamin c and for the last 8 days I applied Retinol A day and night. I will tell you my face looks amazing! But honestly, I cannot tell you if it is from all three procedures I was doing or not. I do not think I would get results like this in one week from just the Retinol A but I can tell you that doing it with the Derma Roller supposedly gets the product in my skin 1000% so maybe. My results are so good, that I will continue doing my three procedures because I have not had skin this baby smooth since I was a teenager and now I am 42 years old. Someone that is used to using Retinol A could give better advice on how this product reviews and compare it to others. But if you follow my routine, my results are amazing! Yes I will continue to buy! This is my honest review, I paid full price for all my products. And my photos have not been altered or doctored or filtered in anyway. Hope this helps someone.

I’m very happy with this skincare set. The products feel gentle on the skin and absorb well without leaving any greasy residue. After regular use, my skin looks brighter, more refreshed, and well hydrated. I also like that the set is well packaged and easy to use both in the morning and at night. This is a great value for the price and works well even for sensitive skin. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple but effective skincare routine.

Im 42 yrs with fair skin and tons of freckles. I read through so many of the reviews my head was spinning. Some of the reviews almost turned me off completely from buying the product. However, a lot of the 1 star reviews I noticed the people were indeed using the product incorrectly. Not following the directions at all. Tree of Life sends you a email with 2 PDF attached. 1 of the PDF's is detailed instructions on how to use the product. My guess is that those people didnt bother to read that. Other people complained that it was too thin and not like the other products they used (which most were using creams). Its a serum and yes is thin. It needs to be thin to spread the tiny amount that is recommended. You don't need a bunch. It will absorb into the skin and spread. So don't dump a bunch in your hand thinking you have to heavily saturate because you DON'T! Now with that being said. I've been micro needling at home twice a week in conjunction with the Tree Of Life system. I do recommend that be apart of your routine. They are inexpensive and fantastic. There are tons of different kinds all over Amazon. The days I use the retinol followed by vitamin and hyaluronic acid I dont use my daily moisturizer, I use vitamin E oil because of the drying effect of the retinol. Then I wash my face in the morning and start with vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, and then my daily moisturizer before makeup. I use much less makeup now. Its glorious since my foundation costs a small fortune. Look, the 3 step system is only $20. It's not like you have much to lose if you hate it. If you don't like it, no biggie return it. Again I encourage you to read the courtesy email customer service sends you and follow the guidelines and instruction. Take away note: Drink lots of water, take your daily vitamins, eat your fruits and veggies, get some daily exercise in, limit your alcohol consumption, and most importantly protect your skin from the sun!!

Very good

Absolutely loving the Tree of Life Retinol Serum for Face! This serum hits the sweet spot—powerful retinol benefits without feeling harsh or drying. It’s hydrating right from the first use thanks to the added hyaluronic acid, so my skin feels plump and smooth instead of tight. Over a few weeks, I’ve seen a noticeable difference in fine lines and uneven texture. My complexion looks clearer and more glowing, and redness has stayed minimal, which is huge for aging skin. Lightweight, easy to layer under moisturizer, and it plays well with my other products. If you’re after a gentle but effective retinol serum that supports hydration and youthful skin, this one is definitely worth trying!

Just started to use. But still, I could say it's working. Thank you so much.. This is my second review.. It's is really working for me.. I have been using this for one month.. It reduced my acne scars..

Tengo poco tiempo de usarlo pero la sensación que deja es muy buena, mi piel está muy suave y aunque sigo teniendo unas manchas de acné, si estoy viendo cómo se van desvaneciendo. Además yo tengo una piel con tendencia acnéica y muy sensible que se irrita con facilidad, así que no me hiciera reacción o me sacara alguna rojes estuvo super bien!

Melhorou bem as linhas que tinha em volta dos olhos.
