This pore-cleansing skin cream contains a 0.02-mg concentration of vitamin A (retinol), which is set to reduce the appearance of pores while working to tighten the skin, treat acne, and diminish dark spots. This cream, which has gone viral on TikTok for its anti-ageing abilities, is designed to be used as a night cream, taking your beauty sleep to a whole new level.

The anti-acne cream is touted for accelerating skin cell transformation while eliminating clogged pores and reducing acne formation. Encouraging fast cell turnover also helps stimulate collagen production under the skin, improving skin texture and erasing fine lines, reducing skin discolouration, and increasing natural radiance in the complexion.

This 2% retinol pomade also works to reduce melanin production, which can help in the battle to reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation. While the enhanced collagen production diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and lines, this retinol cream leaves behind a smoother, brighter and rejuvenated complexion that looks like the hands of time have been reversed.

One huge fan of this retinol cream took to TikTok to rave about its results. When asked “how many units of Botox” she had, the 36-year-old declared she “loves when people ask her this! and that she “has never gotten anything done! Zero units of Botox.”

Mariel then went on to say, “I don’t think you understand the power of a good retinol. This product has changed my face so much.” She also shared that followers have told her she looks like she’s “ageing backwards.”

The “Botox in a tube” product she raved about is currently available on Amazon in this set. It includes two tubes of beauty buffs’ favourite retinol cream for the very wallet-friendly price of £4.99. You can also pick up a three-pack for £7.99 or just the one for £2.99.
