The short answer: People of all ages can benefit from having a great retinol in their skincare regimen. It's especially helpful to use once you hit your thirties, as this is when your body starts to produce less collagen (aka the protein that keeps your skin soft, supple, and youthful looking). You can also use retinol in your teens to help control acne.
There are irritation risks with retinol. This is why we made our formula slow-release to reduce the risk of irritation and make it suitable for most skin types.
Slow-release retinol is a form of vitamin A that is encapsulated in a protective layer of limpids or fatty acid molecules. This layer dissolves slowly over time, allowing the retinol to be absorbed by the skin more easily and deeply with minimal irritation.
Retinol is typically recommended to be applied on dry skin rather than damp skin. Applying retinol to damp skin can increase the risk of irritation and sensitivity, as well as create a barrier that hinders proper absorption. This results in reduced potency and effectiveness. It is best to apply retinol to dry skin after cleansing and drying your face thoroughly.
Yes - Retinol and Vitamin C can work exceptionally well together within your skincare routine. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps defend the skin from things like UV rays and pollution which can trigger pigmentation and prematurely break down collagen and elastin. Retinol helps lessen the appearance of dark marks on the skin, and it encourages more important proteins.
Voila Pure Advanced 2.5% retinol is suitable for daily use on all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. However, like all things in skincare, it's important to pay attention to what your skin needs. If you notice dryness, flaking, redness, or irritation, we recommend starting with a twice-weekly application, then increasing to every other day, and then every day.
We recommend using a pea-sized amount, or just slightly more to cover your entire face. Apply the retinol cream to the back of your hand and then using your finger apply it to the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin-and then connect the dots by rubbing it in gently. You can also apply it to your neck, chest, and hands.

This cream is easy to dispense with the pump action. Keeps the rest of the cream safe from any contamination. I ordered this cream after reading the great reviews. I’m in my early 40s and need a cream for my face and neck because I am starting to notice a loss of elasticity. I waited to review this until I could use it for a few weeks and I am very happy with it! I have dry skin and use it on my neck and face. It is lightweight and has very little smell. My skin doesn’t feel dry when using this cream like it has with other retinal creams in the past. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good firming cream

The Advanced voila pure Retinol is an amazing product. After rinsing my face with cold water and drying, I apply it twice daily, morning and evening. First of all, after applying, your face feels clean and fresh with a firming sensation. After two weeks of use I have noticed fine lines disappearing along with a firmer/moist tone to my skin. Now that I have discovered this product, there is no need for other products. Furthermore, during shipment, the box seal became broken, after I notified voila pure of the issue, they apologised and were prompt in sending me a new replacement. Great company!

So my search for a great eye product htat doesn't cost a fortune brought me to voila pure. As I use their vit c with success, plus lots of positive reviews, it was an easy choice.
I really like this product because my make-up doesn't run under my eyes. Most eye gels I've tried make my make-up end up under my lower lid area.. It goes into the skin beautifully, I will definitely buy again when this begins to run out.

Very nice serum I am really impressed by the results. I am in love with the fact that it doesn’t leave my face greasy or oily. My skin absorbs it very quickly in the morning I wake up and my face feels softer and my skin is brighter. Will definitely buy again. Good quality vitamin C.

I've only been using this product for a short time, but it seems to be having a very positive effect on my skin. The face cream is the holy grail of face creams! This cream does not just sit on the skin, it does not leave your skin greasy, weighted down or oily!! I am a huge fan and will be buying again!!! My pores on my nose, which I have always struggled with, seem to be shrinking. I've also noticed a difference in dark circles under my eyes

Came well packaged in a beautiful airless jar.
The cream itself is hydrating but not heavy and I have noticed an improvement in my skin texture. Keep in mind though that I also use their vitamin C serum. A little goes a long way and I can wear this under my sunscreen and foundation during the day and not feel like my skin is under a mask of product.
Will definitely re-purchase and do a subscribe and save if it’s available

Used every night since receiving it does what it says in the advertising. My skin is very smooth I should say to be fair, but this is a great addition for night time keeps my skin supple for around 12 hours. In fact since I wrote this review my friend has noticed my skin and has also purchased the same, she is in her 70’s and no-one can believe the difference. She looks as though she is in her 60’s now, I am now using this in the day as well. Thank you Voila pure

I love this vitamin C serum. I am using it to hopefully give my skin a nice refreshing glow and possibly helping reduce my adult acne. It has surpassed my expectations, not only is my skin clearer and glowing after only a few weeks of use. But it seems like my wrinkles have reduced. I plan to use this serum daily! I will update this review as time passes and I notice any further changes
