Betanol
Age-Radiance Complex
40 Carrots Retinol-Rich Skin Care contains our proprietary Betanol Age-Radiance Complex. This unique Beta-Carotene, Retinol-rich complex starts with Beta-Carotene from natural skin-loving carrots. Then we add Retinol (Vitamin A) the proven ingredient dermatologists recommend most to de-age, brighten and even out your skin tone, while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Our Retinol is less irritating than its prescription form, giving you a gentle, natural solution for younger looking skin.

My Opinion:

I got this because it was recommended by one of my favorite youtube gurus iamgrape1119, and I've started using it during the summer.

This is a light eye gel which seems to provide enough hydation for me during the summer, but once hit fall, it wasn't providing enough moisture and hydration for my super dry under eye area. I guess this might work for someone with young skin, but for a middle age lady like me it didn't work. I'll be putting this away and use it again during the summer.

My Opinion:

This moisturizer is very strongly scented, it has the scent of a very sweet mango, and although I do like mango scented stuffs, this was just a bit overwhelming. Fortunately the scent didn't last, and it went away after several minutes.

This product does take a few minutes to absorb, but once dried it doesn't feel sticky at all. Even though it isn't sticky, I've only been using this at night because I remember reading somewhere that retinoid is sensitive to sunlight and you should only use it at night.

I've been using this for nearly 2 weeks, and although I did not notice any major improvement on my skin texture, I really do like how it feels on my skin.
