Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative - Crema

Not great for combo/ oily skin

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a lovely high end face cream, with natural anti aging ingredient. Personally, this one is not for my skin type, combination oily, and it left a residue every time I used it that made me break out, however I feel this would be an excellent product for normal to dry skin. It is very lightly scented and I’d say good for those on the sensitive side. This cream is definitely thick and luxurious feeling on the skin.

Great for sensitive skin

I’ve been using the Kora Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Firming Moisturizer as my nighttime cream for about three weeks. The formula has a balmy texture that melts into the skin as you apply it and leaves a very natural, skin-like finish. It’s not shiny or dewy at all. The cream feels nourishing when you apply it, but unfortunately it wasn’t quite moisturizing enough for my dry skin. When I wake up in the morning, my skin doesn’t feel as hydrated as I would expect from a night moisturizer, and I usually need something richer layered underneath or on top. Since this formula is designed as a retinol alternative, it’s also very gentle. I didn’t experience any irritation, dryness, or sensitivity while using it. That makes it a good option for people with sensitive skin or for anyone who can’t tolerate traditional retinol products. After three weeks of consistent nightly use, I didn’t notice any visible changes in firmness, texture, or overall skin appearance. It may take longer to see results, but so far the effects have been minimal for me. Overall, this moisturizer feels nice on the skin and is very gentle, but if you have dry skin and are looking for deep overnight hydration or noticeable firming results, it might not be enough on its own. I would recommend it more for sensitive or normal skin types who want a mild, retinol-alternative night cream.

Definitely an earthy smell

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First off the scent is definitely earthy if you don’t like the earthy or medicated scents this may not be for you. The packaging is nice because you could refill the jar the cream is in a separate container and it’s easy to take out. The consistency of the cream is not too thick but it does feel nice sitting on your skin, it isn’t too greasy and it absorbs well.

Best retinol product

I received this product in return for my honest review. I am a huge fan of Kora Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer. I have used retinol products for years, but unfortunately some cause dryness, redness, & irritation. This product is effective, but also gentle & nonirritating. The product is thick, creamy, and the consistency is smooth, rich, and kind of dense like a balm. When you apply to the skin, it feels very hydrating & nourishing. The product effortlessly melts into the skin, feels light, and doesn't leave the skin greasy. There isn't much of an odor, it is very light & subtle. As someone with sensitive & dry skin, I think this product works great for all types of skin. The key ingredients include Bakuchiol oil, acai stem cells, rosehip oil, & alfalfa extract. These ingredients help to firm & smooth skin, and reduce wrinkles & fine lines. Personally, my skin is more plump, firm, smooth, hydrated, and I see a reduction in fine lines. This is a luxury product, so it is a bit pricey, but I think the results are worth the price point. This is the best retinol product I have personally used, & I highly recommend.

Love It

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This cream smells SO good! I have sensitive skin and this didn’t irritate or break me out, which is always a worry of mine. The consistency is a bit thicker, which I like, and absorbs really nice into the skin. It’s helped plump my skin, smooth fine lines and overall hydrate. So far I’m loving this!

In love

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is such an amazing product. One day with 3 hours of sleep I used this and my coworkers all were like your glowing; and you must be well rested. Well I wasn’t it’s because I have this magic cream on. It’s light weight on skin and packaging it so cute. No breakouts and smells amazing.

Great organic long lasting moisturizer!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have been using this moisturizer for a few weeks… it is light and creamy and provides all day hydration without feeling greasy. I love the fact that it lasts so long. It plumps fine lines and I definitely see improvement in my skin… texture is much smoother! It has a nice, light and pleasant scent. My skin at times, breaks out from products, but did not with this. No irritation or redness at all. It absorbs nicely, no residue or pilling, but I have found that it works best by applying at night before bed. I wake up with dewy skin and then can easily build my makeup onto it. As a bonus, it is organic, made from plant stem cells. Recommended!

Love this moisturizer

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This face moisturizer is so smoothing on my skin. I especially love the texture it's so different from other moisturizers, it isn't greasy or shiny it's almost mattifying but plump and hydrating. I love how soft my skin feels after having it on all night. It is comfortable and does not irritate my skin at all. I am highly impressed. It doesn't have a scent. It claims to smooth wrinkles and firm the skin.

Lovey hydration and plant based retinol!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve been trying Kora Organics Plant Stem Cell Retinol Alternative Moisturizer for a month for sure. I really like how gentle it feels. It’s a plant alternative to actual retinol. It still targets my fine lines, texture, and loss of firmness. The only thing is it’s without the harsh irritation which I love. The texture is creamy and a little thick, but it isn’t greasy to me. The scent is so nice and it’s also light for those who have sensitive skin. My skin has been feeling smooth, plump, and hydrated ever since I added it to my skincare routine. I love that it hydrates instead of drying my skin out like regular retinol does. It’s so nourishing and comfortable on my skin. It’s a yes from me!

Noticeably More Luminous

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I have really enjoyed using this moisturizer. I tested it day and night for a couple weeks, and my skin was definitely softer and more luminous. I have an extremely sensitive face and did not break out at all, which is a very good sign. No redness or dryness or peeling. The only reason I gave it four stars is because I am on the fence with the scent. It's not overpowering at all, it's just a little odd for me. But overall, it is an amazing skin care product.

Thick mask

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this moisturizer! It’s definitely meant to be worn at night because it’s very thick and sticky. It almost feels more like an overnight mask rather than a moisturizer. I love it though, it’s feels so luxurious and the musky scent with it! It’s very relaxing and calming and I wake up with such glowing and bright skin

Work well!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my first time testing Kora Organics and new product category as well. This is a retinol alternative moisturizer that can be used both day and night. I love how moisturizing this is but doesn’t feel heavy. I’m excited to continue to test this product!
