Dove Pro Retinol Firming Cream Serum

When you think of a retinol body lotion you might not think of Dove.  Their Pro Retinol Firming Cream Serum might make you think otherwise. 

Winter is a good time to get skin in shape and use retinol products. I didn't know Dove had these until I saw them in store. I've been using the Cream Serum for a  couple months now and am super impressed.

This has my my skin smoother and brighter while also being moisturizing.  I used it when the temps were below freezing  and it was enough but it's also light enough now that we are in Spring.  It  has very little to no scent and sinks in quickly. Skin looks hydrated right off  and the brightness is there quickly after a few applications.  

 The amount of retinol isn't listed but it's in there on the ingredients list as is niacinamide . For moisture it has glycerin and rosa canina fruit oil . 

The price point is $9.99  for a large 8 oz tube and you don't need a lot each time. If you're looking for a retinol based lotion and want one that works and is well priced  give this a try. It's worked  better than the high end ones I've used.
