love it- 03.16.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines
I was a little worried due to the vitamin a and my sensitive skin but there was no stinging or burning or even an overly drying affect. Works really well with Miracle in a Jar as the combo left my face super soft in the morning.

Great stuff- 03.14.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
I love this product. I recently went back to it after trying the new Miracle Worker retinol product which didn't work out for me. From my experience Help Me is more for oily or combo skin while Miracle Worker is for normal to dry skin types. Help Me is great. It keeps me from breaking out, helps reduce my fine lines and helps to shrink my pore size. Can't live without it!

wait it out, its worth it- 03.09.10
Quick Take: evens tones and reduces sun or age spots
After trying many retinol treatments I decided to give this one a try. After about two weeks I had a tight, red, burnt appearance and was having problems with my makeup looking poorly. I waited it out and was so glad-it was a week or two later that I started to look at mirrors in all types of light and thought "boy, my skin looks great!". My makeup started going on perfectly and I need less of it, my poors are smaller and my overall appearance is younger and tighter. I have had some problems with my neck being perfume sensitive but I solved that by just putting the perfume somewhere else. I just hope I don't develop a tolerance, I love this stuff. Many of my "sun spots" have disappeared or gotten less noticable.

Amazing!- 03.09.10
I love help me! It works so well at healing & eliminating blemishes, discoloration and cleans out my pores making them look much smaller. My skin looks so much more even and luminous. It also keeps it clear. I have used this for 3 months but I plan on using this forever! I use this at night and a light moisturizer w/spf during the day to protect the "new"skin help me has revealed! I am very happy:)

enh.- 03.02.10
Quick Take: useless
did not 'help me'. maybe it is just retinol in general that does nothing for my skin but after a month of use, I found that the break outs of pimples never ceased and I just could not take it anymore. that is my personal experience and I am sure there are others who adore this product...i am just not one of them

needed help & I got it- 03.02.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, preventative, glowing skin, refined pores, less acne, fade age spots
I refuse to be without "help me" by philosophy. I have been a loyal user for years, and let's just say that the few times I have run out or tried something else (what was I thinking?), I saw the difference. This stuff keeps my skin fresh and glowing, and it also enhances other products (such as anti-acne treatments and age spot treatments).
My only regret is that I didn't start using this until my late twenties. I sure wish I had known about it back in the day.

Miracle in a tube- 03.02.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, preventative, amazing!
I have always had a problem with acne and redness in my skin that makes me HAVE to wear make up. In LESS than one week I saw dramatic differences in my skin. My boyfriend saw a difference in only 3 days. I dont have to wear make up anymore if I dont feel like it because of how much my skin has improved.

It Really Does Help!!- 03.01.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative
Once again, I have tried many so called "anit ageing" products and this one by far is the best. It is not greasy or heavy on the skin, does not shine through makeup! I use it daily along with Hope In a Jar and it has really improved my skin! My skin is now soft and smooth and I love this product!!

I've been using the product for about 2 weeks and haven't really noticed that much of a difference. I'm not sure if I need to give it more time or what but so far I'm not really all that impressed.

Hopeful- 02.25.10
Quick Take: tightening, brightener
If your skin is sensitive, go easy this this product. Too much may cause a little stinging and dryness. I've found just a tiny bit is all that's needed to help with cell turn over. I've only been using 2 weeks, but I look brighter already.
