Retinol exfoliates the skin, increases skin cell turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis. It is considered the gold standard for its anti-aging and skin clearing benefits. Besides the retinol and collagen, the rosemary and chamomile extracts in the serum also provide calming and skin soothing effect. I use this in between toner and moisturizer in the p.m. before bed. The light consistency is easy to absorb and it has a natural cucumber smell.

Next item is also skin care and this is the Pixi Skin Treats Botanical Collagen and Retinol Serum. Typically I use retinol at night but I'm going to use some today. It's a nice sort of thick serum-y texture. Feels really nice on the skin. Being in my 40s I love using retinol and collagen in my skin care. It helps with the fine lines and wrinkles. The collagen helps to give your skin a nice plumped youthful effect. I absolutely love using retinol and this is a really nice affordable version.

Let's try the Botanical Collagen Serum by Pixi. I like how they keep it really sanitary. The packaging is really cute. It smells kinda weird, though not gonna lie. What the heck was that lol? When you apply it, the texture is kinda sticky. But it dries really nice, not bad 6 tenths.
