I have rosecea and my skin reacts nicely, with no irritation. I use morning and night all over my face. Absorbs well and tightens my skin. I also feel like my complexion has improved since using.

Gave me white bumps on my face and irritation on my neck. This retinol is expensive and it's been a waste of money.

I gave the product a three star as I haven't used it long enough to determine the long term benefits. I really like the product, but it has only been a week or so that I have used it. I also was asked about Hydrate Hydra Plus. I bought the product, but haven't used it yet.

I love refine RX retinew A 16 concentrate. I've been using this product now for over a year or longer. My skin has even out and my wrinkles around my eyes have lessened. I'm not, one to take before and after pictures. Lol But, I wished I had of with this product. I love BABOR products....they really come through with their results if used as directed and consistently. Thank you BABOR for your amazing products.

I will never be without this product. I've been using it for several months, and my sensitive skin has never looked better--glowing, smooth, and soft--not at all what you'd expect for a 65 year old face. For the first several weeks I used it morning and night, but eventually switched to just once a day. I love this product and would definitely recommend it as a great anti-aging serum.

My beauty broker, Melinda Farina, recommended this to me. Its a great serum and has changed the look of my skin - the age spots and fine lines have faded. It is pricey but well worth the outcome.
My favorite new Babor product!

- Q
Is it ok to use the A16 concentrate on the eye area and over pimples? Is it ok to use it after beauty procedures like microneedling?
- Asked by Susan
- Verified Reply - EricaThe Retinew A16 concentrate is typically formulated for specific skin concerns, but it’s important to use it with caution on sensitive areas like the eye area and over active pimples. For the eye area, it’s best to avoid using products not specifically designed for that region, as they can cause irritation. After beauty procedures like microneedling, your skin may be more sensitive, so it's advisable to consult with your dermatologist or skincare professional before applying any concentrates, including A16. They can provide personalized advice based on your skin type and condition.Was this answer helpful to you
