What the gurus are saying

This cream earns praise for visibly healing breakouts and fine lines, thanks to retinaldehyde that builds new collagen. The one catch is that the thermal water base can cause the oil and cream to separate in the jar, though some gurus report warming it in warm water and mixing it back together fixes the issue. For those with oily or combination skin prone to breakouts, applying it after popping a pimple speeds healing noticeably.

"This was also really popular, and last year I reviewed it for the first time. I was so embarrassed because I'd bought a new one and when I opened it the oil layer and the cream layer had completely separated, it was so annoying to use that I refunded it. Checking the reviews, that separation is really common, apparently because a thermal water is the first ingredient. Some of my subscribers shared a hack of warming it in warm water and mixing it back together. Compared to other dry skin products this one isn't that heavy, and I've seen so many people love it because whenever you apply it after popping a pimple, it just heals a lot more quickly. It's also kind of an all rounder. If you have oily combo skin with a lot of breakouts, try this after you pop one, it can heal a lot better."

"This is really a holy grail Eye Cream that will actually create lasting change on your skin by reversing fine lines and wrinkles. This one has retinaldehyde in it, which will build new collagen. I like to think of this as the closest thing to prescription strength. This is the single most expensive item in my skincare routine right now, so this is my splurge worthy item."
