Amazing Stuff!!!
I have used pretty much every retinaldehyde out there. For over 3 decades, mind you, I have tried everything as well as eat clean (organic) drink lots of water, and eliminated sugars from my diet. Nothing comes close to the results without side effects as RetinAl, which a patent is being applied for, as we speak. This is retinal with an “A” not an “O” on the end, as retinaldehydes lose their effectiveness as they transform down the retinaldehyde chain...with retinol being 500 times weaker than RetinAl, and with all the goodies added into this...a very welcome change to the alternative, lab-created Retin-A with various nasties added into that prescription formulation, along with very drastic side effects. This retinAl is offered in 4 levels, with most preferring to end up (after graduating in using the lowest levels first) at level 3 or level 4, depending on their skin needs. Like all retinaldehydes, caution must be exercised with diligent sunscreen use because all retinaldehydes strip your skin’s natural sun protection down to zero, while continuously revealing clearer and smoother skin each day. So, incredible results with that caveat. Also, it is best alternated every other day with a good glycolic toner, and spray your face with one of the Osmosis toners before applying the retinAl as it is best applied somewhat watered down with one of those toners, as using more Retinaldehyde does not make for better results, but rather more unnecessary drying of the skin, and burning. Retinaldehydes are used by celebrities like Jennifer Anniston and Reese Witherspoon for exactly the same reason we are...going under the knife is just not what we are looking for, but this is a much safer and more effective skincare alternative that can work synergistically with our own skin, making it healthier and with an added bonus of playing well with moisturizers and face oils applied right over it, without diminishing its effectiveness in any way whatsoever...so how great is that???

Only need a tiny amount-this works!
This really works but only use a tiny amount. I made the mistake of using too much and my skin was peeling like crazy. This is a really effective product.

This has helped changed the texture of my skin so much and has made my pores look so much smaller. Obsessed w/ this vitamin A serum.

Great anti-acne product
I actually bought this product to control my blemishes instead of anti-aging, and it worked really well. I barely had any breakouts during, and if any they quickly "matured" and came off. The texture is watery and light. The only bad side with it is the lasting yellow color but it's a feature of retinal I suppose...

Great for aging skin
I am 66 years old, and my skin has never looked so good. This is the best retinol on the market. I have no skin irritation, and you can't even notice any fine lines. I highly recommend it.

Great serum
This is a really good but strong retinal serum. My face just glows the next morning after I’ve used it. It’s a bit too strong to use every night for me but I pair with the epidermal repair serum and it’s wonderful!!

It works!
I wasn’t able to truly tell how well this worked until I stopped using it. It’s smooth fine lines and minimizes pores. My skin looks much smoother with regular use. I definitely see a difference with this product.

OMG
This is like a time machine in a bottle. I'm only 26 but have started noticing a fine line here or there, nothing too drastic or noticeable. But, I now want to start a good anti-aging regime to combat further lines or wrinkles down the road. All I can say is wow. After using this serum for the past few months on a nightly basis, I have already noticed improved skin texture (soft and smooth), no irritation as with retinols or Tretinoin, improved dark spots and softening of my one and only fine line right under my eye and maybe a line down the nasolabial fold (who knows because it disappeared using this). My skin is not usually very sensitive, so I have started with the Renew to get the full benefits of the retinaldehyde in this serum with the Clear Plus spray. Highly recommend to anyone started an anti-aging regime. Highly recommend to those older who want to keep up or maintain an anti-aging regimen with very little irritation.

Great for mature skin
It has taken me a while to work up to using this serum. I went from the lowest amount of retinaldehyde for sensitive skin to the next level serum, and then to using the correct serum for a long time. I have definitely seen a difference in my skin since switching to Renew. It seems tighter and definitely less lines. Please be aware, this is very strong, and you may want to start with one of the serums that contain less retinaldehyde if you are not sure how your skin will react. If you have sensitive skin def do not start here. Lovely product, works so well.

Great A
The best vitamin A serum I've ever used. Clean ingredients. Just be careful when using it. Acclimate your skin and don't expect awesome results in three weeks–it won't happen. I can see better looking skin. If you expect all your wrinkles to be gone, you need to reset your expectations. For an over the counter product, haven't seen anything better.

Excellent product!
I’ve been using prescription Retin A for 9 years until I saw renew. I made the switch and couldn’t be happier. My skin is never irritated or pink, and my fine lines that were still there with the retin A have started fading! Only con is that I am super fair and this leaves a slight orange tint to my skin. I remedy it by only using at night instead of two times a day, it washes right off in the morning and my skin is glowing!

Love This Product
I'm 53 and have used this product, and it's the only product that I use that tightens my skin and minimizes my pores due to my age. It is worth every penny. Thanks, Osmosis.

Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare Renew Vitamin A Serum
I am a 57-year-old woman of African Caribbean descent. I have always taken good care of my skin, which can be a challenge in the hot Caribbean climate. I have been onto the Vitamin A in skincare for quite a long time and have used many different OTC retinol products and prescription Tretinoin also. Lately, I have stuck to tretinoin, and swore never to use any OTC Vitamin A products again. The Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare Renew Vitamin A Serum has changed my mind. I use it diligently, with other products in the Osmosis Pur Medical range (sometimes even in my day routine) with good sunscreen of course. My skin looks supple, young, balanced, hydrated. I have never written a review in my life, and I have used just about every buzzed about line. At 57 years old, almost 58 years, I go out now without makeup: my skincare, pore blur product, sunscreen, lipstick, eyeliner and mascara...I am always asked, what are you using on your face? :) No more bad skin days:)
