Gator face. Old boot. Grandpa Porcupine.These are the words my grandkids have been using to descibe my complexion and beard until I decided to give this potent oil serum a try. As a 65+ male, my skin definitely ain't what it used to be and I suffer from dry spots, beard dandruff, discolored blotches, and more lines all over than a road map. This retinol oil applies like a dream with only about 3 drops needed for my face and neck and 2 bonus on my beard and chin for instant overnight soothing and smoothing.When applied in just the right amount (use less if you have oily or sensitive skin), the oil does not feel grubby or grimy, the formula absorbing quickly to banish dry spots at once. I have found the oil to be very nourshing, especially when I apply at night; I wake up in the morning looking pumper, younger, and much less like an old boot. I especially like this oil around my sensitive eye area, as it helps me rejuvenate without burning or drying my skin like caffeine-based eye creams. Over the past month of use, I've noticed the oil working the hardest against my beard-dandruff, blotches on my cheeks, and around my eyes, with results first being seen by me around the 2 week mark and my wife pointing out that I looked fantastic by 1 month.Overall, the most notable changes I've seen are to my dry complexion which has significantly hydrated and plumped, leaving me with much less rough spots and flakes. I don't have beard dandruff anymore with this, which is downright fantastic, and the oil works great as a one-and-done product, addressing my face, neck, beard, and eye area without me needing to load a full dopp kit of products.A little goes a long way with this oil! With just a few drops needed per evening, the 1 ounce bottle just keeps going and going. The dark color of the bottle also keeps the formula safe from light oxidation, while the well-sealing lid keeps it fresh. As an added bonus, the built-in dropper on the lid allows me to drip just the right amount without me needing to dip my fingers into the bottle. The scent is also very neutral, so I don't smell like a faceful of flowers.PRO TIP: Retinol can make your skin sensitive to the sun. I highly recommend using this at night and wearing a sunscreen during the day.
