My skin type:
I have combination skin that is acne prone, I am 28 years old.

I was so excited to get this product because I LOVVVVEDDDD their Super Vitamin C Serum Find it HERE! This anti-aging cream as it contains Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid. Retinol is very anti-aging active, and Hyaluronic Acid holds fifty times its weight in water which makes it amazing for putting moisture into the skin, as well as plumping the skin. However, I don't think this product would be great acne because it has Palm Oil (second ingredient listed.) Palm Oil has a comedogenic rating of 4-5 which means it's one of the worst oils to put on your face because it is highly pore-clogging and and I have combo skin that is acne prone! Comedogenic Ratings CHECK IT HERE LOVES!
Having that said I did try it out for over a month and I did feel my skin look/feel extremely softer and it definitely looked more plump BUTTTTT when I went to get a facial .....my Skin specialist said otherwise. She said my pores were very clogged and she spent over two hours trying to complete my facial ...something that hasn't happened to me before. For those of you that don't believe in facials...it's because you probably don't have large pores and your skin probably isn't acne prone either. It is good for some people and other people don't need it --that's the point I'm trying to get across -- LOVE, NO HATE ,JUST SAYING!
I think it did help my skin look and feel nicer BUT it clogged my pores and caused flesh colored bumps on parts of my face that I wouldn't normally have clogged pores. Even though it didn't work for me - if you have normal to dry skin that isn't acne prone, I think this product might work for you. I love New York Biology so I was disappointed that this particular product didn't work for me because it's very affordable.
Like with everything you can give it a try but I wouldn't recommend for acne prone skin that has large pores!
I hope this helps you ladies!
Much love xo
