Like a reviewer before me I too have returned many of the Seious Skin Care products. However this product has changed the way I think about the line. My skin has never looked better!! It didn't happen overnight but I can't see any more enlarged pores!! That is simply amazing to me.

i have purchased serious skin care products before and returned most of them. they seemed to do nothing. however,after trying this retinol serum, i can really notice a difference in the way my skin feels and looks. you only need a drop and it smoothes on the face very nicely. for the amount you need to use and the size of the tube i think it is a good value.

This has the best ingredients in it. The retinol is in a great amount and it's loaded with antioxidants, too. Please offer it in a bigger size. I love it! My new must have serum.

Wonderful Product!!!! I cannot say how much I love this product. I have only been using it for one week and saw excellent benefits! My skin is clear and my pores are smaller! Also, my face tended to get oily around my T-zone, not anymore! Thank you for the wonderful product!

I have had bumps on my forehead for years. It wasn't acne & my skin wasn't red I just had these bumps on my forehead. I have noticed that I don't have them anymore since using this product.

I have been using this religiously for the last 3 weeks once a day (I have very sensitive skin and am afraid 2x a day will cause irritation) and I can definitely see results starting to happen. The 11's are starting to soften. Also noticed decreased breakouts in the chin area. Thanks for a great product SSC!

OK Ladies..I've tried other "highend" serums,&ended up with a greasy mess that doesn't absorb or work. This stuff WORKS! It is non-greasy, penetrates right into skin, & doesn't leave you with that oily feeling.I am 45 with fine lines, and this has softened them,& they appear less deep after 3 weeks 2xday use along with the Super Mel C line.Keeps breakouts at bay too!I'll never use anything else but Serious Skin Care!

This product is fantastic! I'm 54 years old and I was told I look 40! It takes about 4 weeks; apply morning and night consistently and you'll see results. My skin is more firm, fine lines appear to disappear, no more large pores, and my face just glows. You must let the serum dry completely before applying other serums and creams. I'm on my second tube and just ordered the A-Force XR Nano kit. I would say this is one of the best SSC product for the face. This is a winner.

I just love this new A-Force ! It melts right into my skin and leaves it baby soft. Also, any products that I put over this go on smoothly. I can see and feel a difference after about 3 weeks of use. Love it !!! Please keep up the good work SSC !

This is simply fantastic. I've used many retinol poducts in the past, from high-end department store to drugstore. This is by far the best. I have oily, acne-prone skin. But now from using, my skin is closer to "normal" as far as oiliness goes and my skin has cleared up of all break outs. Very light fresh scent that goes away quickly after application. Most others on the market tend to have a "maple syrup" scent that lingers, ew! Truly, I don't ever want to be without this stuff. Thanks SSC!

I don't even remember ordering this product and one day it was just at my door. So I thought, what the heck , give it a try. Well am I ever glad I did. My skin looks WONDERFUL. I have been using it for only about 2 weeks and the difference in my skin is amazing. Even those little lines around the lips are almost gone! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product.

I am pleased with the application- goes on not greasy- not drying. Easy to apply other things over it. I just wish I knew the percentage of active ingredient so I know if it really is going to do the job. Time may tell.

I would give this product 10 stars if I could! I noticed a difference in my skin within a week. My face cleared up(breakouts), the old acne scars are fading and my pores are no longer looking like clogged craters. Will definately keep this item stocked! Thanks so much for the wonderful product!

I've been using the A-Force RX for three weeks once a day, I can tell that the texture of my skin is much smoother and enlarged pores are much less noticable. I havent had a breakout since I started with the serum, cant wait to try the Face and Eye Cream!

Seems ok but....the package doesnt mention the famous "peptides". In this NANO version, did they remove the peptides?

This product made a huge difference in my skin after using it twice a day for a week. My skin looks smoother and more evenly toned. I am very pleased with this product. I guess what works great for some doesn't always work for others.

I really like the original A-Force (without peptides) when I tried it, but this one clogged the pores in my T-Zone. I checked the ingredients and there is a hydrogenated castor oil as the 4th ingredient -- yuck! Sounds nasty!
