Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative - Crema

Nice alternative retinol cream

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am very happy for the opportunity to try this Kora Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer. I don't have sensitive skin so this is my first trying an alternative retinol, I am happy to report that I am loving it. I only applied it in the evening after cleanser and serum, the last step. The consistency is nice, creamy and balanced, not too runny and not too thick. I have dry skin and this was enough for my skin type. It gets absorbed into the skin fast and leaves no residue. After a few days of use I feel my skin more luminous and firmer. I cannot say that I saw a difference in my fine lines, I guess time will tell. Looking forward to seeing results with continuous use.

It reduces sagging and wrinkles.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This cream is moisturizing—a great alternative to retinol! This cream firms and smooths. I love its texture and scent. I have sensitive skin, and it doesn't irritate it.

Not for me

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had to stop using this I started breaking out very badly with this tiny clear filled pimples all over face and neck this was only thing i had added to my skincare regiment.

I received this product in return for an honest review. This moisturizer is very thick. This would be better suited as an overnight mask as I don’t feel like it absorbs into my skin very well. Because of this, my makeup doesn’t seem to mix well with it. If you have super dry skin, this may work for you but I would pass on purchasing in the future.

Effective and refillable!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First things first, this product uses a refillable container, where the moisturizer is in a small plastic pod that goes into a heavy duty outer container. The outer container is NICE. My inner plastic pod came damaged, but it was shipped inside the outer container, and no damage was done to the actual moisturizer, since it was sealed within the outer container. This product has a great consistency and soaked into my skin easily and quickly. I was impressed by the overall feel and thought that it did a good job of providing some much-needed moisturizing in these cold winter months. I liked the smell (it wasn’t prominent) and would consider purchasing again!

Love, love, love

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really love this retinol moisturizer! It is very creamy, leaves my skin very soft and dewy. My skin sometimes feels tight after cleansing my face so I always have to put a moisturizer on after and sometimes they do not stay long enough or moisturize deep enough that I end up having to apply more. This moisturizer though? That’s not an issue, you do not need to use much so the little bit you get in the packaging goes a long way and your skin stays moisturized all day! I made sure to use this product for a few weeks before leaving a review. I will say for some, this might be too moisturizing. So if you already have oily skin, I don’t recommend. However if you have combo or dry skin (I have combo) you need to try this moisturizer!!

Smoothing & Firming, Organic Moisturizer

Love the packaging and cute purple bottle. Its certified organic and doesnt have a strong scent. The texture is smooth, its very moisturizing and helps firm and smooth skin. This product did not dry out or irritate my skin and my skin is semi sensitive. Great anti aging moisturizer to apply after serum morning and night. A little goes a long way, just apply to hands, warm it up by rubbing hands together and apply. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

A gentle glow boosting retinol alternative

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I'm turning 40 in a couple days & I'm very intentional about how I care for my skin, It's important to me to age gracefully & support my skin barrier, not overwhelm it. This plant based retinol alternative fits in beautifully with what I am trying to accomplish. The texture is creamy and nourishing, a little goes A LONG WAY, it feels heavy initially but smooths in like a dream. It has been my new go to a.m moisturizer bc it play's so well with my makeup and does pill underneath it. It helps keep my skin super hydrated and plump. I've been using it for about 2 weeks without any breakouts or irritation. I use prescription retinol 3x a week at night and then use this every morning and I haven't seen any signs that it's upsetting my skin barrier, so this has been a beautiful addition. The scent is all natural and pleasant and most importantly not from parfume/fragrance. It is more of a luxe price point, but when I comes to skincare and health that's where I can definitely justify the cost. I would definitely recommend you give this a try.

I received this item for free from KORA Organics and Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. Tbh, I didn’t notice much of a difference after 2 weeks of using this moisturizer. I was not able to use it during the day because it was just too thick and didn’t absorb well enough to put my makeup on over it, so I only used it at night. The nice thing is, it doesn’t take much product to moisturize your whole face, so this jar should last quite a while!

I can see such a visible difference

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am so impressed with this. I can see a visible difference with my fine lines around my eyes and on my face. Packing is beautiful and there really is not much of a scent. I highly recommend this product

Perfect for ultra sensitive dry skin

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review. First off, the packaging! Korean skin care is always so smart! It’s reusable. The hard outer component opens to a pod that the lotion can be taken out from and reused! Great for the environment. The lotion itself is slightly scented, and very thick. A little will do you. I noticed my pores did look better, but I broke out the first two nights using it. I know these products do that so it’s not a big concern. I don’t really have redness so I cannot comment on that aspect. Bakuchiol (a retinol alternative) and plant stem cells are often used in Korean skin care, so I was exited to see them! This is a great alternative for people with extremely sensitive skin that break out or burn easily with traditional retinoids.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This moisturizer might be my new favorite !! 😻 The texture is super thick . A little can go a long way. My face totally soaked it up, it definitely needed the hydration. It smells good. Left my skin feeling great. I love that it’s organic and it has refills which is amazing for the planet! ❤️
