I am fortunate to work with Azure Naturals from Amazon. I reviewed their Ultimate C Skin Repair Serum. For this post, I will review another serum from their line.

Product Review: Azure Naturals Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum

Where to purchase: online at amazon.com
Price: $21.95 for 1 fl oz/ 30 mL

Made in USA

Description from the press kit: VITAMIN A WORKS! Retinol is one of the most effective ingredients for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin A is proven to improve pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone, color, as well as increase your skins hydrating levels. ULTIMATE RETINOL is the most advanced Retinol product currently available. We have designed a delivery system that allows very high strength 2.5% Retinol to be used around the eyes and even by people with sensitive skin.

HOW DOES IT WORK? Cellular renewal happens continuously when we're young, but as we age the skin's ability to renew itself slows down. Retinol has a very small molecular structure that allows it to deeply penetrate your skin activating collagen and elastin. Applied at night ULTIMATE Retinol will increase your skin's moisture, promoting cellular turnover and renewal.

Thoughts: When I had such good response from their Ultimate C Skin Repair Serum, I couldn't refuse to try this one.
This one comes in a pump not a dropper.
Here's a swatch of the product on my hand.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there isn't any noticeable scent when you apply the product. I only noticed while sniffing the product. It has an unique scent that I have not smelled before. I cannot describe it but it's on the muskier side. Secondly, the consistency of the product is on the medium. It's not liquidity but more so gel-like. It has a cooling sensation that I like. I like products that feels cool. There's a big difference between feeling cool and tingling. They are not the same. I'm not a big fan of tingling sensation especially on the lips. They tend to burn or at least to me. With that said, my dry skin absorbed this product quickly. It left a smooth and soft layer. There was no oiliness or greasy feel. Lastly, I cannot say if this product is working or not. If you noticed, I've been reviewing a lot of serums. It's my fault. I don't know what I was thinking. That's another story. I haven't given myself time in-between the products to see the results. The only thing I noticed right away is how hydrating the product is.

Pros:
* They use natural ingredients.
* Comes in a pump; sanitary safe.
* Travel-friendly.
* No noticeable scent.
* Cooling sensation.
* Not greasy/oily.
* Absorbs quickly.
* Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
* Hydrates.
* Cruelty free.

Cons:
* Can only be purchased on Amazon.

Would repurchase: Yes.

At least its hydrating right away. I'm not patient enough to wait for results, but if it is doing something right away I will stick with it. Prob why I don't do any serums, I'm not patient! lol
