    A stellar Retinol Alternative Serum!

    I am "over the moon" with the Moon Fruit Retinol Alternative Serum!

    In the short time I've been using the serum, I've seen a beautiful dramatic difference in the texture of my skin.

    Just a small amount is needed in the morning and night.

    I am so pleased with my results and look forward to the continued benefits for my skin in addition to pairing it with other Herbivore products!

    Thank you so much!

    I'm in love!

    It's the night serum I was waiting for: strong, effective, way less irritating than any Retinol serum would be. It's also esthetically pleasing (which is important, helps me remember to apply it every night) - the color, the packaging, it all works. Between Moon Fruit and Emerald Oil HB covers most of my skincare needs.

    Loving this retinol alternative

    I’m currently pregnant so I had to toss out all my retinol. I’ve been using this as an alternative, worked up to 5/nights a week. It’s very gentle, smells great, feels good going on, has not broken me out, and leaves my skin feeling soft in the morning. I haven’t been using it long enough to comment on its affect on fine lines but time will tell!

    Cosmetically elegant

    Love this! Moisturizing and a great smooth consistency. Cosmetically elegant formula. Feels wonderful going on and then feels like nothing at all when it dries. My skin just soaks this up. I think that it's diminishing my eye creases too!

    Very creamy, and non-irritating

    I started using this as the retinol step to my nighttime routine. I really like that when I wake up in the morning, my skin is not red and irritable. I highly recommend for anyone whose skin is quite sensitive.
