Super Renewal Serum - Retinol Alternative, 30ml

I would give it 5 stars, I noticed that my skin was more supple but also lifted around the jaw line. My skin feels very soft and bouncy. The line by my nose has visibly changed. I have been using the product for less than a week and seen a difference in my skin texture.

This product went on beautifully and immediately hydrated and nourished my skin, which had been a bit dry and tight due to cold weather. My skin is on the oily side but this did not make it more oily, it sunk in really well and simply made my skin feel more plump (more so than the Super Seed Serum, which I also love). I used it morning and evening as instructed. I feel it's plumped my skin and reduced the redness slightly: I haven't given 5 stars because I haven't been using it for very long (about a week), so can't comment on long-term effects, and also the price is quite high. I'll be interested to see how my skin improves over time, and I would certainly recommend to people who want a retinol alternative, or to people with oily skin who need a bit of extra moisture during the winter months.

Great product for calming my skin

Wow , amazing product I had been having issues with my skin like blemishes and breakouts happening due to a product I brought from a different company causing me to break out and experience redness in some areas, I switched over to this serum for my night routine and wow my blemishes have started to clear, my skin feels like a baby's bum super smooth !

I have very sensitive skin so am unable to use any form of retinol product, but had very high hopes for this serum. Within less than a week my skin felt and looked so much smoother. I would have loved to have persisted with it, but after about a month, my skin started to react to it and it caused my skin to redden. I passed the serum on to my 86 year old mum, who absolutely loved it. Her skin looks so much more radiant and smooth, and I would also say lifted.

I have sensitive skin and tend to avoid using a retinol as they tend to irritate/sting my skin. I have been so happy with this serum, it hasn't irritated my skin and was gentle.
I have definitely noticed my skin feeling smoother and I noticed it was less red than normal and felt super hydrated.
I really like the texture of the product, it rubs into the skin really easily.

I have used several retinol serums by various brands in the past, and although I like the results, I have to be careful to space my use because of sensitivity.
I didn’t have any problems with this serum.
I used every evening for a week and found it went on feeling hydrating and creamy but sank in to my skin easily.

My skin felt plump and dewy to the touch even next morning.
I love Votary products; always effective but very gentle and clean.

I've been using the new Super Renewal Serum for the last ten days. My skin tends towards being sensitive and I am always nervous of incorporating new products, but I can honestly say, this is one of the nicest and most effective serums I have used. It leaves my skin not only calm, but smooth. It will become a staple in my votary routine.

I have sensitive skin and so far all of the Super seed product range has been one of the only brands I have found in years that doesn't irritate my skin and I am happy to say that the serum continues on this trend. I can be hesitant to try products which might be stronger on my face but the Renewal serum was effective and gentle.

After waking the first morning after trying I could feel my skin condition smoother. This has continued on throughout the trial. During the trial I also use all of my other Super seed products and nothing else.

I would rate the product 4 stars out if 5. I can really feel my skin is smoother but don't visibly notice any changes. The pipette could be a bit fussy, possibly due to the viscosity of the product and sometimes I wouldnt get much out even if I tried a few times to get an intake of product into the pipette and other times I would get a larger blob. The stand out fit me is that I can feel my skin smoother and it has only been 2 weeks of the trial but importantly it has not caused any reaction to my skin so this is a great win.

I have been using a prescribed skin cream containing retinol (Tretinoin) every evening for nearly 10 months. Whilst this other product initially resulted in improvement in my skin, when the strength of the formula was gradually increased, it became apparent that my skin barrier was becoming compromised, and I have been told by the dermatologist to drop to using it only 3 days per week. I still suffer dry and flaky skin around my chin, mouth and nose, in addition to redness. Why is this relevant to my review of Super Renewal Serum?? Well, from the first use of the serum, my skin was noticeably softer and redness/irritation was soothed, all whilst gentle skin smoothing and firming started to become apparent. I also like the pipette with which the serum is collected and dispensed. The opening at the top of the bottle is sized just right so that you don't pull excess product that is clinging to the outside of the pipette out of the bottle and risk dripping it everywhere. This close fit also means that should you accidentally knock the bottle over while the pipette is inserted but the lid not screwed down, you are unlikely to spill any product. I have now used the serum for 2 weeks, and it has never caused tingling/stinging of my sensitive skin. I will continue to use the serum and my only complaint is that there is no guidance on the packaging or bottle regarding the number of drops that should be used each time. I think this would be useful to consumers. I have been using 10 drops which is pretty generous (and could get expensive in the long-term!).

The product was lovely and soothing to use and I experienced no irritation. Overall my skin appeared smoother and I especially noticed that the area around my eyes was less puffy. I will continue to use the product regularly!

My skin is smoother and less discoloured, really helps my skin I think - I ADORE this product as I do all the Votary ranges! Have been a customer and fan for over 5 years.
Wouldn't be without this product or the others to be honest!
