Elizavecca Milky Piggy Retinol Cream 100g/3.53 fl.oz. - Retinol Swiftlet Nest Extract (69.9%) |Face Cream |

I'm 37 and I've always taken care of my skin. I figured if I moisturized well and used sunscreen I wouldn't have to worry about more intense anti-aging products when I got to my age. After having a child with special needs who sleeps only a few hours at time, lack of sleep and stress is beginning to catch up with me. While I don't have many fine lines or wrinkles yet my skin was constantly dull and tired looking, and oddly prone to dryness, which was never something I had to deal with before. The healthy glow I used to get from a gel moisturizer and some rosewater is apparently a thing of the past for me. My skin soaks the moisture right up and it still looks and feels the same. Heavy moisturizers almost always break me out, and I'm beyond tired of the rough texture and dry, flaky skin on my face. This is a Korean beauty brand I've used and loved in the past. Their products are consistently good and very affordable, so don't let the cartoonish packaging and sometimes oddly named products put you off. As a beauty junkie I have tried so many different products and I still love Elizavecca, their skincare products rival or outperform many of the expensive brands, which is something I've noticed about K-beauty in general. Their standards seem to be much higher than the majority of our domestic brands that are in the same price range. This particular cream is different from anything else I've ever used. Like others have said, it has an odd consistency and texture. Very similar to white Elmer's glue, it's sticky and a bit stringy at first but it dries down to a nice velvety feel on the skin. It's very moisturizing, which often causes painful cystic acne to flare up on my chin with other formulas, but this cream provides the heavy moisture I need without clogging my pores. That's been a huge challenge for me, I typically cant use things that provide the level of moisturization my skin needs. It has a light and fresh floral scent that fades away after a short time. Now, as for the results, I haven't been using it long enough to really see anti-aging benefits, and like I said I don't have many fine lines and wrinkles. So I cant say either way how effective it is for that. But my face actually looks smooth and healthy and I have that nice healthy glow again. It revived my skin in just a couple of weeks. If you aren't looking for a strong retinol, definitely consider giving this a try. You might be pleasantly surprised like me.

One of the very few retinol creams on the market that I can use daily on my sensitive skin. This cream doesn't sting, and it has never caused me to break out either. Many retinol creams on the market didn't suit me, even the ones with low retinol percentage. Also, this cream has a unique formulation. Power-packed ingredient list. Good quantity and pretty cheap. The texture is distinctive, too. It is slightly slimy. Lightweight. Absorbs well. No smell. Love this product!

Does not break out my skin and very hydrating for a retinol cream. I use a little every night and the amount will last you a long time. Only downside would be its a little sticky and your hair can get caught on your face!

This definitely isn't a powerful retinol product but it's still good. It's kinda messy - a glue like texture - but it comes with a little spatula on the inner lid. There's a large amount of product so it's a good value and it's moisturizing. I noticed I don't have to put on another layer of moisturizer after if I don't want to. If you're looking for a powerful retinol product, this probably isn't it, but if you still have youthful skin or are just starting out it's definitely worth a try. I love this line of skincare...and the packaging is so seriously adorable that you won't want to toss it!!

Update on 3/27/18 : This is almost an empty for me, I was alternating night using for a little bit so it slowed the use. I've got it on my repurchase list! Skin Type: Oily/Easily Dehydrated Skin Shade : NC15 Skin Conditions : Large pores, Darker sebaceous filaments around nose, some acne scarring, post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (from acne), hormonal breakouts, fine lines around mouth/eyes, lack of water production Product: Elizavecca Milk Piggy Revitalize EGF Retinol Cream Perfumed: Very faint fragrance, smells soft Purchase: 11/16/2017 Review: 1/7/2018 Overview: This is a Korean sleep pack (night cream). Please note that the description for the item states "Day or Night" but that is incorrect. This product contains 2500 IU Retinol (75%), which will break down in sunlight and be rendered useless. While it's labeled as a cream, it is more like a gel. This Milk Piggy cream has several ingredients to provide moisture while encouraging new skin cell growth. For those with sensitive skin, be aware this contains Cetyl Alcohol, Alcohol and fragrance. For those wanting products without animal ingredients, this is a cruelty free brand. Photos attached show product front, product on skin and product rubbed into skin. Ingredients: Swiftlet Nest Extract Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil Beeswax Cetyl Alcohol Niacinamide Glycerin Polysorbate 60 Dipropylene Glycol Retinol rh-Oligopeptide-1 Sodium Polyacrylate Allantoin PEG-100 Stearate Adenosine Carbomer Betaine Propylene Glycol Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Polysorbate 20 Triethanolamine Alcohol 1,2-Hexanediol Ceteth-3 BrassicaCampestris (Rapeseed) Sterols Tocopheryl Acetate Cetyl Phosphate Cholesterol PEG-5 Rapeseed Sterol Hydrogenated Lecithin' Phenoxyethanol Water Sorbitan Sesquioleate Ceteth-5 Disodium EDTA Glyceryl Stearate Fragrance Appearance : This is a white gel like cream. It's very slippery and has a high viscosity to help it sit on the skin. It has a very slight fragrance. I'm familiar with Korean products containing perfume and on a scale of 0-10 I consider this a 1. I cannot smell the product on my skin once applied and I can only smell it if I specifically sniff the container. The container is a good size and seals well. It comes with an inner plastic tray like cap with a little spatula attached via a clip. The product packaging is really cute, I love the shiny pig and his piggy bones. Applying : This is a thick product, but is not as thick as a night emollient cream. If you are applying a heavy cream or vaseline for evening routine, this will go before. The product comes with a little plastic spatula to allow for finger free application. I am always applying with super clean hands so I don't use the spatula. If you do opt to use the spatula, wash after each use to remove the slick reside to make it easier to pick up next use. You only need about a dime to quarter sized amount for the entire face. Place the product on the face and then smooth into the skin with clean fingers. It should be applied in a VERY thin layer. The skin will feel tacky before going to sleep but the product sinks in overnight. Usage/Feedback : This product has been helping my skin really soften up. When I wake up I find my skin is really soft and smooth and hydrated. I do use this as PART of a routine with other products that hydrate,heal and nourish the skin, but I have been really please to see noticeable results. Best results are when I use it consistently. I can definitely tell my skin is much drier and rough in the morning if I skip this step. I do not get any acne breakouts from this product, which is perfect. My skin is looking much brighter and clearer with several healing and restoring ingredients in my routine, including this retinol cream. I am pleased that a little goes a long way, I have about 2/3 left and I've been using for about two months now.

Noticeable results immediately

Muy buena crema, deja la piel hidratada y bonita sin ser pesada, es como chiclosa pero al distribuirla se absorve rápidamente dejando la piel con una apariencia muy bonita, queda perfecta para mi maquillaje ya que hace ver la piel maquillada jugosita y nada acartonada, con poco producto alcanza muy bien para toda la cara, el empaque está muy bonito jaja, la cremita no tiene aroma. Excelente compra! Llegó en tiempo y forma bien empaquetada.

I use this cream not first time and I love it

Es la primera vez que pruebo está marca. Es ideal si tienes la piel mixta. No te deja la piel grasa, lo uso solo por la noche y al despertar mi piel queda muy suave e hidratada. Recomendado 💯

I brought this cream to replace my night cream. I saw the reviews and wanted to give it a go it kinda feels like glue but works wonders I have only been using for a few days but can already see the difference. I will be purchasing again
