Review 1 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
Unimpressed and did not really deliver
-06.16.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I am a big fan of philosophy and read all of the wonderful reviews of this product, but after 5 weeks of consistent use, I am not a fan.
First off I am almost 30 and my skin type is combo - so I have dry patches that come up around that time of the month as well as a pimple here and there. I bought this product to help even my skin tone.
While I do see it has reduced the size of my pores (small victory), my pores are clogged more, especially the pores on my cheeks. This is new for me because I am use to getting a pimple, but dealing with clogged pores is tiresome.
I guess it's helped with my minor wrinkles and pore size, but I break out more and it has done NOTHING for my skin tone, dark spots, sun damage, etc. It has actually made me more uneven because of the clogged pores I now have to extract and my dry patches seem larger.
I have continued to use it as long as I have in order to write an accurate review and also hoping my skin was in an "adjustment" period.
I know everyone's skin is different. I never considered myself "sensitive" skin, but this just didn't do well with my skin.

Review 2 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
Love
-05.27.13
Quick Take: brightening, smoothing
Started using this product a few months back, as part of a kit. I've been using the Miracle Worker moisturizer for a couple years and had only tried this once previously. It was on much younger skin, though, so didn't notice a difference.
Now that I"m older, I do notice a difference. My skin looks brighter with these pads. It took a couple months to notice the improvement, but it's there. So if you're in an older age group, and are thinking about trying these, go ahead, treat yourself. Just be patient for results.
Do not want to be without these pads!

Quick Take: anti-aging & brightening
I use it every night and have for over 4 years. I noticed an improvement in my skin within the first couple weeks and it kept improving. I get compliments all the time about my skin. Its brighter and my fine lines are less noticable. No one believes I'm almost 60! I highly recommend this product.

Quick Take: age-fighting, smoothing
I've reviewed this before, after my first kit, and loved it then. For whatever reason, I stopped using it for several months, and did I ever notice! I'm back on the regimen and my skin is smoother, pores are smaller, and some of my scars are less visible. I can't say that I've ever noticed a change in the dark spots on my face, but I am very happy with the texture of my skin when using this.

Quick Take: exfoliating, lightener
I've been using this product for several years. It has helped with age spots, fine lines and blackheads. I use it everyday, which I am not sure is recommended, but so far so good. I am in my 50's but I don't have any age spots and I believe this products helps. It's one product that actually does what it claims.

Disappointed
-05.03.13
I faithfully used this product for 10 weeks and didn't see the results I was hoping for. It did not help fade my sun spots or acne scars as promised and I didn't see any change with the wrinkles on my face. I actually purchased the entire Miraculous kit and was disappointed for the amount of money I spent.

Still my favorite product...
-04.30.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I go off this every once in a while because of the price, but when I haven't used it for a month, my face literally falls! Also brown spots come back, and the texture of my skin gets rough! Been back on it for two weeks, and I look 5 years younger already!

Review 13 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
Tingles!
-04.12.13
I really like this product, but I'm not entirely sure of its effectiveness yet, as I've only been using it for a couple weeks. I do know that my acne has unfortunately gotten worse since starting to use this product (although that may be for other reasons...). However, I really enjoy using these pads as part of my nighttime skin routine. After cleansing, I wipe a pad all over my face and neck, and after a minute, it feels really pleasantly tingly! Nothing too harsh or anything - but it just feels like it's working :)

Review 14 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
Really works
-04.05.13
I've struggled with skin discolorations since my first child was born 8 years ago and I've tried everything to fade them (including a $1500 laser treatment that worked but didn't last more than a month). I have been using this product for several weeks and the discolorations are almost completely faded!! My wrinkles are the same, but I am thrilled by the evenness of my skin color!

Sent it back

Quick Take: maybe good for someone else; younger?, have younger people review it
Did not think this product worked. It needs to work faster. This may work for younger skin, but the retinol is weak. The product seemed to take off some dead skin, but need results quicker, faster it is expensive, and the OTC brands are getting good review, for a retinol based product.

as good as rx
-03.12.13
I have sensitive skin and I can use this at least 4 times a week without irritation. This is great it makes my skin look clearer and more youthful, which is great since I don't wear makeup.

Review 17 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
Pretty Good - Not a Miracle
-03.01.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, moisturizing, firming, pore reduction
Using only at night before bed, I started with just the pads alone. Not much benefit. Some minimal pore reduction. No change in relatively pale dark spots. A bit of a dry feeling after application. The pads will remove even the smallest amount of grime even after a thorough cleansing prior to use! A very good thing.
I decided to use the Miracle Worker Serum and Moisturizer after applying the pads. With that combination I did get better results. I do not see a frank reduction in fine lines or 11's between the brows, but skin is firmer and plumper-- looks "better". I do believe that the products ARE meant to be used together. Very soothing, silky feel that will continue until you cleanse your face in the morning. A bit "tacky", but that's good! Skin soft and smooth come morning.
I then bravely added Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha-Beta pads in the AM. The combination of the two have really improved my skin tone, reduced pores, given me a very fresh-looking complexion.
Which is better? Can't really say. DDG appears to show immediate results. MW pads, serum, moisturizer are beneficial, and keep skin dewy and soft. Using both together you MAY get the overall results you're looking for.

Review 18 for Miracle Worker™ Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Solution
My skin looks better than ever.
-01.31.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, line erasing, pore minimizer, firming, spot reducer
Like some of the other reviewers my face did break out, but only the first week. Since I usually break out after a trip to the aesthetician I know breaking out is just your face letting out the last of the toxins. Now 2 months later my face looks amazing. Never has my skin been this clear. My pores are smaller. Wish I had looked like this all my life. My hands look younger also. Been splurging and use 2 pads; 1 for my face, neck, and chest. 1 for my hands, elbows, and knees. As expensive as it is I won't keep it up. After my next container is done I will probably start using it every other day. I'm sure that will be enough to maintain the results. They are a little bit drying but I just use 3 squirts of Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster. And if I feel dryer than usual I add Image Skincare Ormedic Bio Peptide Creme. Image is my favorite line of skincare.

Perfect.. Maybe!
-01.26.13
I have used these pads soaked in the solution for the second night now. I have noticed the crow's feet and the lines under my eyes have decreased drastically! I can not wait to see what happens in a whole 7-14 days. Ladies, if you have wrinkles or potential ones buy this little miracle!
