Guide Review - Review of Ossential™ Radical Night Repair
I have to admit, even though it is very simple to use I was very afraid of the concentrated retinol at first. I have fairly sensitive skin and was prepared to have a raw red face after I applied it. Surprisingly there were no signs of irritation, even though there was a slight sting on any blemishes I had, but that only lasted for a millisecond. I like to refer to the Radical Night Repair product as a serum, because it somewhat looks like one and you apply it at night under your moisturizer. The one thing that definitely shows that it's more than a serum is the velvety texture. It was like butter on my fingertips, and then like satin on my face once I applied it.
So it's all well and good that the product feels great, but did it actually work? After using Ossential™ Radical Night Repair with a couple of the other ZO Health products, I would have to definitely say that the product got the job done. Even though I am only in my 30's, I still have fine lines as well as newcomer parenthesis wrinkles. Using Ossential™ Radical Night Repair drastically improved the look of the fine lines on my forehead as well as the parenthesis around my mouth. Also, I had some lingering brown spots from past medications and pregnancies, and like magic Ossential™ Radical Night Repair helped to get rid of them as well.
The bottom line is that no matter what your age or status of fine lines and wrinkles, Ossential™ Radical Night Repair is one age fighter you need in your anti-aging arsenal. The fact that you are getting a highly concentrated dose of retinol that works while you sleep is much better than sitting and waiting in the dermatologist's office. Since we are all living busy lives, why not save yourself the time and money of a doctor's visit and give Dr. Obagi's ZO Health products a shot? In the end, your skin will thank you for it.
