If you are looking for a light-weight moisturizer, that may squeeze in a leetle bit of anti-aging benefits then sure, this may be worth a BUY rating. Or if you are looking to start using a retinol, but are afraid that it may be too harsh on your skin, this would be a great first one to test out to see how your skin responds before going for something a bit more potent.
I would SKIP this one if you are someone seeking visible results and are accustomed to using retinols. I will not repurchase this product. In fact, I've graduated to the "big leagues" and have started using PocketDerm's anti-aging lotion.
