Easy to apply!

The Face Stick makes incorporating a retinol product into your skincare routine so easy and mess-free! The product applied evenly, but I found the formula to be slightly sticky. This was a bit of a nuisance when trying to go to bed because I felt like the product was coming off on my pillow. I think this could easily be avoided if you do your skincare routine earlier in the evening the so the product has more time to absorb into the skin before going to bed. There hasn’t been a noticeable difference in my skin yet, but I do think with continued use I’ll begin to notice a reduction in wrinkles and an overall improved appearance in texture! I also like that the formula includes astaxanthin to help felt environmental damage! @PeaceOutSkincare @SephoraCanada #MagicWrinkleEraser #RefineYourLines

a bit too greasy for me

The retinol face stick is a face serum in the form of a balm which targets fine lines, discoloration, and texture. It contains encapsulated retinol and vitamin C which prevents irritation. I tried out this product all over my face and my initial impression is that it is too greasy for my preferences. First, I tried to use it as a replacement of my serum so I used it before my moisturizer. However, no matter how much I tried to massage the product into my skin, it would not absorb. So when I put my moisturizer on top, it was way too heavy for my liking. The next day I applied my moisturizer first, then the balm, and it still took over 3 hours to absorb into my skin, this means that every time I want to use the retinol balm, I have to wash my face at least 3 hours before I sleep or it’ll sit on my skin then transfer to my pillows, which is not ideal. I really do love the concept of this product and saw my skin brighten after a week of use, but it is so greasy I don’t often reach for it. I hope the formulation can be tweaked to make the product feel less greasy and absorb faster. Then I would definitely reach for this product more. I love how it has retinol and the formulation does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Great packaging

To start, the packaging is amazing. Very compact with a lot product in it. I’ve used it for a few nights now and honestly haven’t noticed anything… maybe once I’ve been using it for longer it will take effect. I have sensitive skin and this doesn’t bother it at all, which is great! Hoping it will reduce my forehead lines. We’ll see!
