Valentia, named after the Roman Goddess of healing, is a skin care product line offering all natural ingredients. Their products are free of toxins and parabens and vegan-friendly.

Recently I was introduced to their Night Revive Retinol Serum.  The serum promises to:

• Diminish wrinkles,
• Stimulate collagen
• Improve skin tone
• Manage breakouts
• Condition skin

Those are some pretty great promises and as someone who is fighting off aging with all that I’ve got i would love to believe them all! But how exactly does Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum do its’ thing?  Well here’s the rundown:

• Squalene- Derived for pure olive oil to soften and condition delicate skin.
• Vitamin C-helps guard against environmental free radicals to prevent premature aging.
• Vitamin E-provides intense hydration to diminish the drying effects of retinol.
• Retinol-(Vitamin A) works at the cellular level to stop wrinkles, manage breakouts, and evens out skin discoloration.

Now that you’ve heard the in’s and out’s about the product allow me to give you my two cents. As someone with extremely sensitive skin, I often get nervous when trying out new products. I was very happy that I have experienced no redness after the first several uses. The smell is so light and not at all overwhelming. The consistency is smooth, but not runny.  The price point is very fair as products that target the same areas can cost many times more that of Valentia’s. While it is still too early to tell of the long term effects, my skin feels very soft to the touch and appears dewy. I am very excited to see what several weeks worth of use will benefit me with!
