I really like this product. I like the fact it has retinol in with a moisturizer. I find typical retinols are very drying to skin. I think Skinmedics retinol might do a better job but is more drying.

Quick Take: tightening, dimishes fine lines, antiaging, restorative
I am a mid-40 mom of four and this face moisturizer is the best on the market in my book. Because of it's retinol properties, it provides a silky smooth texture and a radiant glow to my otherwise aging skin. I wear it daily under my foundation and when I am out of it, my face looks tired and dry. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have skin sensitivity issues like I do.

Quick Take: preventative, fades dark spots and uneven skin tones
I have been using this product for over a year and its great!! The retinol is just enough to give the skin a great appearance by morning since you use the product only at night time. I highly recommend DDF Pro Retinol Energizing Moisuturizer.

Quick Take: preventative
I have used this product for years!!! I only use it for a week or so at a time, then I stop and use a regular moisturizer or glycolic. When my skin starts to look and feel a bit dull, I use it and the next day -- glowing!!!
Hopefully the company doesn't discontinue this product like they did their sunblock.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, preventative
Tried this on at the store after a saleswoman referred me to DDF products. I am in LOVE with this. It tingles a little bit and it feels rejuvinating like it's actually doing something. My face feels fresh and pure after I apply it. I've been using Caudalie and Clarins and I'm all about DDF now. No nasty after smells either.

Helps with Acne, good value, no spilling with pump
-05.06.11
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, dimishes fine lines, helps with acne
I enjoy using this product. I use it twice a day and it keeps my acne levels down and softens my wrinkes. It does not totally get rid of my wrinkles, though. If I use a plumping moisturizer with it like the Dior Hydralife Sorbet Creme, it really helps get rid of all my wrinkles (forehead). I really like Peter Thomas Roth Retinol night fusion but there's more product in this one and I spilled my bottle of PTR (major bummer because it's expensive). This one comes with a pump and you don't have to worry about spilling it on the counter.

I use this only at night after my Dior One Essantial and an anti-aging serum and my skin looks so clear and refreshed in the morning. This moisturizer is so soft and velvety that I look forward to slathering t on my face, neck, and chest every night. Although it is a retinol, I have never had any sensitivity or adverse reactions. Will always repurchase.

Quick Take: skin softner acne killer smoothed out some lines
Amazing! I have oily t zones, dry cheeks, and light signs of aging around my laugh lines. This product relieves some signs of aging but reduces the oil in my t zones and kills acne like no other! I use it nightly and wake up with beautiful skin. Now if i could only find a day cream I love as much as this product .

Changed my skin
-06.02.10
I have been using DDF products since November and have noticed a dramatic difference in my skin. I have had acne my whole life (im in my late 20s) and DDF is the only product line that has helped. This Retinol made my skin so smooth. I needed this to renew my skin without leaving my face red and dry. This did the trick. I am very happy wtih this product and will buy again and again.

Best, non-irritating retinol moisturizer

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, preventative
I cannot bein to say how I love this product. I have tried prescription retinol products from my dermatologist and it has severely irritated my skin. This has just enough retinol in a great moisturizer. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with aging, sensitive skin.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
I love this product....was away over weekend and left at home....was lost without it. Skin feels great. I was over doing it with other products on my skin and started to develop little bumps. Sales person told me to try for 2 weeks and there is much improvement. A bit pricey but worth it

Bright Face Big Time!
-05.07.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, preventative
This is good and expensive... but it works, so it's worth it. It has a flourescent color yellow which is very vitaminous (is that a real word?) and it has a clean dispensing pump which keeps the retinol inside potent. I believe this is something for my nightime routine, I do not use this during the day since retinol mixed with sunlight is a bad idea. After about 2 weeks, I have diminished lines and I can't wait to see how the retinol will repair. I plan to Alpha Hydroxy my face with something from Peter Thomas Roth or DermaDoctor in combination with this treatment. It is perfect preparation for glowy summertime skin! Very fabulous! By the way, this provides enough moisture for me which I do not need a separate night cream.
