"The instant firming serum does have a bit of a light scent to it, but I don’t mind that! It did firm up and penetrate my skin right away without drying or cakey flakiness. It will help to reduce the look of wrinkles and firm and smooth facial contours. I’ve applied morning and evening. It has hyaluronic acid and vegan collagen alternative without parabens, phthalates, or mineral oils. I love this product and highly recommend!" -Sephora Reviewer

 

"I love this serum! I have acne prone, combination skin and did not have any issues with this serum causing breakouts or clogging my pores. It feels moisturizing on my skin but not greasy and I have noticed the lines around my mouth are less noticeable since using. I also love the scent of this serum, which is a light herbal scent." -Sephora Reviewer

Promising Reviews

"I wish I had gotten a before picture of my forehead and “smile lines.” This product has seriously reduced them. I’m in my mid 30’s but not yet ready to look my age! I have very young kids and try to looks as good as the young moms in the play groups. Super happy this product works well and isn’t too pricey." -Sephora Reviewer

 

"After receiving this as a free sample from Smiley 360, I can say I will definitely be purchasing it. It has a very light scent that won’t burn your nose and the skin actually absorbs it. Not oily or heavy. After using a week I notice a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines." -Sephora Reviewer

Wrinkle Recovery Overnight Serum

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Ferulic + Retinol Wrinkle Recovery Overnight Serum ($88)

Key Ingredients and Benefits

-Retinol: smooths lines and wrinkles while improving skin elasticity

-Ferulic acid: plant-based antioxidant that works to boost the effects of other antioxidants

-Niacinamide: helps to protect skin barrier protector and restore moisture

Promising Reviews

"Great overnight retinol serum. It hasn’t dried me out, but it tightens effectively. I feel and see a difference with this one, so I think it’s worth the price tag. I love that it’s vegan!" -Sephora Reviewer

 

"I've been using this for 3 months and this product has made my skin the smoothest and clearest it has ever been. It is my first time with a retinol product and I did experience 3-4 weeks of the purge breakout, but it was totally worth it if you get past that. I haven't noticed a ton of the fine line reduction ( I don't have many yet, but trying to be proactive), but I love how my complexion has evened out and I haven't had any breakouts since the end of the beginning. Would definitely recommend." -Sephora Reviewer
