Eight Saints Retinol Facial Moisturizer Cream, For Firming Face, Neck & Eye Wrinkles and Lines, Deep Hydrating Lotion, Fragrance-Free, 2 Ounces

I have been using Eight Saints Smooth Sailing a little over a week. I love the way it makes my skin feel so smooth and soft. I like that it contains hyaluronic acid to help hold the moisture in my skin. The cream absorbs very quickly, the scent is nice and light and it gives my skin a fresh dewy glow. I love Eight Saints products for theirclean formulas and this is no exception. I highly recommend trying.

At 50+, I’ve come to understand my skin pretty well. It’s dry—always has been—and increasingly temperamental with age. Add to that the fine lines becoming not-so-fine, especially around my eyes and mouth, and you’ve got a face that needs care, not punishment. That’s why I was so relieved—almost surprised—by how well the Eight Saints Retinol Facial Moisturizer worked for me.First, the texture: it’s creamy but not heavy, and it absorbs in that sweet spot between “gone instantly” and “sitting there forever.” It doesn’t make my face feel coated, but it does make it feel supported—like it’s actually helping to restore moisture, not just glossing over the issue.The retinol part made me nervous, honestly. I’ve been burned before—redness, peeling, the whole thing. But this formula clearly gets that not everyone can tolerate an aggressive approach. I've used it nightly for six weeks now, and not once have I woken up tight or flaky. No stinging, no angry patches. Instead, I’ve noticed a slow and steady improvement: my skin tone looks more even, the texture around my jaw and neck is smoother, and my under-eye area looks a little less like crepe paper.I also appreciate what’s not in it—no fragrance, which is a big deal when your skin throws a tantrum over the smallest irritant. I didn’t have to “power through” anything. It just worked, quietly and consistently, like the best products do.It’s not a magic wand—and I wouldn’t trust any product that promises to erase time—but this has absolutely earned a spot in my nightly routine. It’s effective, respectful, and most importantly, it understands what my skin needs at this age. I’ll be repurchasing without hesitation.

This moisturizer makes my skin feel dewy. The texture itself is pleasantly creamy, and you really only need to use a little at a time. It goes on smoothly and is absorbed into my skin with no oily residue. There’s a very light scent, which is refreshing, not at all overwhelming. I’ve been using this product for going on two weeks now and I feel like my skin looks brighter and feels, for lack of a better word, perkier. I’m currently sliding into my late forties, so I felt a retinol moisturizer was something I needed to add to my skincare routine. I’ve been using this every morning and evening to good effect.I generally use it after applying toner and serum, but on nights when I’m too lazy to deal with these other products I just apply Smooth Sailing and call it a night. Even on its own, it works really well. I recommend this product for anyone whose skin needs a bit of a boost, particularly anyone over forty who might be noticing the inevitable signs of aging skin. I imagine it would also be great for younger skin that just needs a bit of a pick-me-up for whatever reason.One bonus perk I don’t want to neglect to mention: Yesterday I found that, after applying Smooth Sailing, I didn’t need to apply foundation to show my face to the world. I think it’s because this product is so creamy, like in a really good way. It allows my skin to absorb the rest of my makeup without the need to slather on foundation. This alone makes it worthwhile for me, and overall I’m really pleased with this moisturizer.It's cruelty free (very important to me), the ingredients are natural, not weird, dubious chemicals, and it comes in a cute little container that looks nice on my bathroom counter. Highly recommend!

I use quite a few Eight Saints products in my daily care (body products, as well) and was excited to see a new release of a retinol cream.I’ve used this now for well into 10-12 days as a final evening product in my face care and I’m seeing such a difference in my skin, especially in the mornings.I’m noticing an added smoothness to my skin and no longer struggle with that “greasiness” I normally battle with when applying other anti-aging products at night.This is quite a standout product as I’m seeing more hydration in my neck area as well as a more even tone to my face. Darker spots appear to be diminished and that’s a huge plus for me!If you’re looking for a reliable anti-aging cream that shows visible results, I highly recommend this power-packed cream!

Like all other Eight Saints products, I love this product! As other reviewers have noted, it makes my skin super soft and smooth. The cream is unscented, lightweight, but not runny, and has substance if that makes sense. I have some rosacea around my nose and cheeks, and this cream felt great and did not irritate my skin at all. I've been using it at night as an alternative with another favorite, Eight Saints Up the Anti anti-aging night cream, and I put Eight Saints All In Eye cream over it. Winning combos!

Eight Saints brand has developed many winners in skin care. Add Smooth Sailing to the list. It’s absorbed effortlessly on my very sensitive skin and is attacking those stubborn fine lines and wrinkles. I use it after cleansing routine at night. Just read others use in morning also. (I’m hoping to add Smooth Sailing eye cream in morning too once it’s back in stock.)My face is fussy and some retinol products are too harsh. Not Smooth Sailing. It does what its name implies. Helps my skin to be smoother, healthier, and maybe? younger looking. Don’t we all want that?
