"I’m in love with True Botanicals. I particularly love the Phyto-Retinol. After a few weeks I can genuinely see the difference. Fine lines have softened and my skin texture is firmer and glowing."
— Danielle H. (5/5)
"I Love true botanicals, but this serum is a bit underwhelming. I feel like a need a lot of product or it absorbs too quickly and leaves my skin dry. Don't really see any good results in the morning."
— Helena G. (3/5)
"I have tried retinol from other brands, and prescription retinol, and they are all too strong and irritating and painful after several uses. This is the only retinol that I can use safely and comfortably and still get the great anti-aging results that harsher retinols provide. I have been using the Phyto Retinol Sleep Serum for years, and I find that it has the same anti-aging, wrinkle diminishing effects that other, harsher retinols provide. I use it every day without fear of irritation or discomfort to my sensitive skin."
— Stuart Z. (5/5)
"This is one of the few products I have been using on my face besides cleanser, sunscreen, and occasionally extra moisturizer. I really like the texture of this serum. I rub it into the lines on my forehead before bed, and I do think after a few months that I can see a difference."
— Emma A. (5/5)
"Such a great product, that has really made a difference in making my skin brighter and more hydrated! Just ordered for the second time and will continue with this for sure!"
— Kristin G. (5/5)
"I have been an avid retinol fan for so long and I didn’t realize how sensitized my skin had become until I started using this. I have noticed much less sensitivity, breakouts and reactivity in my skin. 2 pumps is all I need for my face, neck and décolleté. Every time I shower I feel as if I’ve just been to a luxurious spa. I can’t get enough of the herbaceous scent of this product."
— Megan S. (5/5)
"I use this daily. Amazing results. Smooth and silky and not harsh on sensitive skin"
— Bethany D. (5/5)
"I have been using TB for over 10 years. They are the best clean products on the market and the scent is light and clean. Love your products!!!!"
— Antoinette M. (5/5)
"Gentle on my skin and my skin loves it. It’s part of my nighttime routine. One pump goes a long way and it’s a must."
— Ernesha P. (5/5)
"I love this nighttime serum. Again. Another very light product that feels so good. I am diligent to put this on nightly."
— Stacey M. (5/5)
