Elizavecca Milky Piggy Retinol Cream 100g/3.53 fl.oz. - Retinol Swiftlet Nest Extract (69.9%) |Face Cream |

I'm 37 and I've always taken care of my skin. I figured if I moisturized well and used sunscreen I wouldn't have to worry about more intense anti-aging products when I got to my age. After having a child with special needs who sleeps only a few hours at time, lack of sleep and stress is beginning to catch up with me. While I don't have many fine lines or wrinkles yet my skin was constantly dull and tired looking, and oddly prone to dryness, which was never something I had to deal with before. The healthy glow I used to get from a gel moisturizer and some rosewater is apparently a thing of the past for me. My skin soaks the moisture right up and it still looks and feels the same. Heavy moisturizers almost always break me out, and I'm beyond tired of the rough texture and dry, flaky skin on my face. This is a Korean beauty brand I've used and loved in the past. Their products are consistently good and very affordable, so don't let the cartoonish packaging and sometimes oddly named products put you off. As a beauty junkie I have tried so many different products and I still love Elizavecca, their skincare products rival or outperform many of the expensive brands, which is something I've noticed about K-beauty in general. Their standards seem to be much higher than the majority of our domestic brands that are in the same price range. This particular cream is different from anything else I've ever used. Like others have said, it has an odd consistency and texture. Very similar to white Elmer's glue, it's sticky and a bit stringy at first but it dries down to a nice velvety feel on the skin. It's very moisturizing, which often causes painful cystic acne to flare up on my chin with other formulas, but this cream provides the heavy moisture I need without clogging my pores. That's been a huge challenge for me, I typically cant use things that provide the level of moisturization my skin needs. It has a light and fresh floral scent that fades away after a short time. Now, as for the results, I haven't been using it long enough to really see anti-aging benefits, and like I said I don't have many fine lines and wrinkles. So I cant say either way how effective it is for that. But my face actually looks smooth and healthy and I have that nice healthy glow again. It revived my skin in just a couple of weeks. If you aren't looking for a strong retinol, definitely consider giving this a try. You might be pleasantly surprised like me.

One of the very few retinol creams on the market that I can use daily on my sensitive skin. This cream doesn't sting, and it has never caused me to break out either. Many retinol creams on the market didn't suit me, even the ones with low retinol percentage. Also, this cream has a unique formulation. Power-packed ingredient list. Good quantity and pretty cheap. The texture is distinctive, too. It is slightly slimy. Lightweight. Absorbs well. No smell. Love this product!

I am a long time skincare enthusiast, particularly of Korean skincare. I have always been hesitant to try Elizavecca skincare because the branding seemed juvenile to me. On a whim I ordered this cream. It is the most effective neck cream I have ever used, hands down!! And I have tried neck creams that cost upwards of $300. I am 45 years old and starting to get the dreaded crepey neck skin. The first night I had this cream, I used it on my face, neck, and chest. It has a somewhat slimy and stringy consistency. However, it soaks in well and does not stay sticky. When I woke up the next morning, my neck was not crepey AT ALL. I have never had that effect from any neck cream. My chest was not dry or wrinkly either. I was glowing! The cream says it has a retinol in it, but it must be an extremely low strength. My skin is usually sensitive to actives, and I had no reaction whatsoever. A few weeks later I incorporated trentinoin into my skincare routine and used this cream with it accidentally. No reaction. So I have continued to use it together, since it is so moisturizing. If you are considering getting this cream: buy it! It’s SO AFFORDABLE as well. I have been using it for about 2 months now and I love it just as much. I’ve also bouse several more items from Elizavecca and they are all winners!

Like stated in some previous reviews, this product can cause your skin to purge and break out, but stick with it and you won't be sorry! I've been using it for about a month and my skin is definitely more hydrated and brighter. I'm only 25 so I'm not really battling many wrinkles yet, just thought I'd start a retinol cream to try to prevent any from coming in the first place. ;) I love the packaging, it's super cute! I use this at night and when I wake up in the morning I notice my dark spots and acne marks are definitely less red and my skin just looks more even, bright and youthful. The reason for knocking off a star is that I'm not a huge fan of the texture or smell, it's kind of gluey and sticky and smells like glue too. I will definitely be purchasing again, however!

Noticeable results immediately

Muy buena crema, deja la piel hidratada y bonita sin ser pesada, es como chiclosa pero al distribuirla se absorve rápidamente dejando la piel con una apariencia muy bonita, queda perfecta para mi maquillaje ya que hace ver la piel maquillada jugosita y nada acartonada, con poco producto alcanza muy bien para toda la cara, el empaque está muy bonito jaja, la cremita no tiene aroma. Excelente compra! Llegó en tiempo y forma bien empaquetada.

I use this cream not first time and I love it

Es la primera vez que pruebo está marca. Es ideal si tienes la piel mixta. No te deja la piel grasa, lo uso solo por la noche y al despertar mi piel queda muy suave e hidratada. Recomendado 💯

I brought this cream to replace my night cream. I saw the reviews and wanted to give it a go it kinda feels like glue but works wonders I have only been using for a few days but can already see the difference. I will be purchasing again
