– NIP + FAB Retinol Fix Overnight Cream 3% – Intensive Night Moisturiser with 0.3% Encapsulated Retinol, Bakuchiol and Ceramides for Fine Lines, Wrinkles and Hyperpigmentation, Vegan, 50ml

As a fat ugly middle-aged man I've not really been into "beauty" products unless you include soap, water and shower gel however I randomly watched a you tube video talking about Retinol products and well there is this line appearing now... If you wanted a sceptical tester I would be it. The promises made by cosmetic companies and the total distortion of science in marketing claims is highly dubious. I gave it a go anyway. I use it once to twice a week as Retinol is quite harsh and should not be used too often. I would say my skin is smoother and for want of a better description more youthful looking as a result of using it. To be fair Retinol is a thing that does work but you need a good quality product that is not too harsh (more % of Retinol is not always a good thing esp' if you haven't used it before) and does not have too much other stuff in it. So a couple of tips I have picked up. Avoid the area around you mouth as this is more sensitive and will flake. Use once or twice a week, maybe every other day. This product has Hyaluronic acid (HA) in (which i didn't spot when I bought it) and that can be an issue. HA can suck water out of the air which can be beneficial or at least not detrimental however if the air humidity is low the HA will take moisture from anywhere it can find it including your skin, which is bad. So use a moisturiser over the top of this to avoid drying your skin. I put a very small dot of petroleum jelly in my hand a a small splash of water which I rub together and apply. The jelly acts as an occlusive to stop moisture escaping and the water adds, water which is moisturising and gives the HA something to rob instead of your skin. One last thing HA cannot pass through your skin no matter what cosmetic companies tell you, maybe consider using an HA supplement instead of a topical HA product.

I have delayed reviewing this product to try and support those people who have extremely sensitive skin like my own - daily breakouts, scarring, signs of aging and oily skin - not a great combination! I’ve struggled since I was a teen, and now in my mid 40s! Over the past year, I’ve noticed a huge change in my skin, for the worse rather than better, so did a lot of reading about what was best. It’s a challenge to introduce anything new when your beauty regime is so heavily focused around oil control and managing blemish outbreaks. On first use, I went all in and combined with the retinol boost, which was a disaster, turning my face into an oily mess, followed by the inevitable week of spots. Once under control using original skin care, I tried again but this time opting for a slower introduction of twice a week. I’ve bow taken retinol up to three times per week and am seeing much better results. My skin is noticeably smoother and lumps seem smaller in size. My skin tone is more even and pores are appearing smaller. Spots even seem under better control. I would never say that my skin is soft but I can see and feel a clear improvement. I love applying the cream as it sinks straight in, and it smells lovely. I also like to combine it with a retinol night cream. I’m definitely continuing the journey with retinol and look forward to even more improved skin tone. So far, I would recommend.

I use a lot of Nip and Fab products and it’s my first time trying this. You don’t need much out of the bottle. I apply with a cotton wool ball which are gentle on your skin. I’m 49 but I’ve always really looked after my skin so lucky I don’t really have much lines or wrinkles. What this does is tightens my skin, makes me feel refreshed and skin looks clean. It dries in fast and I’ve used it during the day too. After applying this I use Nip and Fabs Dragons Blood Serum which is a fantastic product that really makes your skin smooth and tighten. The only reason this gets four stars is I’d prefer a nicer scent (I find all Nip and Fab products could be better scented). It’s also pricey and I’ve been trialling ALDI’s Lacura brand face toners and their serum and rose oil which are freaking awesome and so cheap. I’d not buy this again only because of the price and that I’ve found something at a much lower price that works just as well if not better. Otherwise this is a product I was happy with.

Great retinol!

I remember using a 1% retinol cream and it made my skin peel, after being off retinol for 6 months, I tried this cream and my skin was not even peeling a bit, which makes me question how true it is that it contains 3%

The pictures are taken under 2 weeks apart. Can see that the forehead lines are not as deep and some have disappeared completely. I would definitely recommend trying this product! Less wrinkles in under than 2 weeks 😍 I use it 4 nights a week. (I did a patch test on my neck to make sure I didn’t have any reaction before using on my face)

The highest strength retinol I have found. One of the many serums I bought elsewhere but repurchased from Amazon as price and service always better on Amazon.

I love the smell of this cream and it was great price. It soaks into the skin nicely, a bit weird how the cream comes out from the top but can get used to it. Can’t comment on how effective it is yet as only used it couple of weeks but my skin looks nice and fresh in the morning. Would buy again!

Easy to use, nourishing form that is the best I've ever found; been using it for years.

Great exfoliation, not for every day use. I do use it once a week for the exfoliation. Perfect!!

Ordered this and the night cream, as my skin was looking a bit dull. These two products used together (every other night cream and every other night serum) work really well. The serum feels a bit stronger to me. I am very happy with the results so far, have been using this for about 10 days. As these product contain Retinol, feel that it's best to use in spring or autumn.

Mi trovo molto bene con questa crema contorno occhi. Ho la pelle sensibile e la sua formulazione non mi ha creato nessun problema, anzi, ha migliorato molto la texture della mia pelle intorno agli occhi, le mie occhiaie e borse (di cui soffro molto)! Consigliata

Loved how moisturizing it is
