What wrinkles? This top-rated anti-aging retinol cream is on sale for $16 (nearly 50% off)

When it comes to skin care, retinol is known as the ultimate anti-aging ingredient. However, the powerful vitamin A derivative can be a little too strong for some, resulting in skin sensitivities such as redness and peeling. Fortunately, Amazon reviewers say that LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream gets the job done —without the harsh side effects. “This is a game-changer,” raved a reviewer, who says they achieved “smoother and clearer” skin results. In fact, the affordable cream — it’s on sale for $16 right now! — is formulated with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter and vitamin E to help nourish skin and balance the powerful main ingredient.

Why is it a good deal?

Other retinol creams on the market can cost hundreds of dollars, which isn't economical if you use one regularly. That's why thousands of shoppers reach for this pick from Amazon. You can get a tube of the potent, yet gentle formula for just $16, down from $30 — that's nearly 50% off! Did we mention that's lower than its Prime Day price?

Why do I need this?

The cream is infused with retinol, aloe, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, green tea, shea butter and jojoba oil, this wildly popular anti-aging cream works to firm and smooth skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and even out your skin tone at the same time. And its nourishing mix of ingredients is what makes this retinol great for those with sensitive skin, according to some LilyAna Naturals fans. It helps with a handful of beauty concerns like reducing signs of aging, fading dark spots and more.

What reviewers say:

Here’s why over 26,000 Amazon reviewers swear by this affordable anti-aging cream.

Fine lines: “After 2 months of use (missing a day here and there) I can clearly see fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth and eyes are softened and some are just gone. I put it on at night only because I work in the sun and need SPF for my day cream. I also apply this to my bust and neck. Don’t laugh, it is the best cream I have ever used and it really makes a difference.”

Deep wrinkles: “I have very deep wrinkles (I am 70 years old) and bought this after having read the rave reviews … I use it day and night as directed and I think that after having used it for 3 weeks I can truly see the results. I looked at myself in the mirror the other day and honestly thought that I look ‘softer’ than I have in a while.”

Firmness: “My skin has a much smoother and brighter appearance and looks firmer. I get compliments all the time on how smooth my skin looks. I am 50 years old, and I am on my 2nd bottle of this stuff and I won’t ever switch as long as the quality stays the same!”

Acne: “I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, I know my acne is hormonal and it’s not easy to deal with. After having my second baby, my skin was doing great. I knew I needed a retinol product but didn’t want to shell out massive bucks for the prescription strength cream so I decided to give this a shot. WOW!!!! I am so amazed at how well it works. It’s gentle enough that my commonly irritated spots don’t get scaly and flake but it does the job. People around have been commenting that I’m ‘looking great’ but they can’t pinpoint what it is. I think it’s the fact that this cream has helped the texture of my skin, less breakouts, faster healing when I do get pimples, and less redness. I’m happy!”

Texture: “My skin was plagued with large pores, rough bumpy texture, dry patches, redness, yellow splotches, sun damage, acne scars and wrinkles. I use it every night because I keep seeing more improvement every few days with ALL of my skin issues..”

Just be careful how much you dispense! One shopper noted: "With this bottle, one full pump is too much, so I just press slowly until I get just a little - it goes a long way!"
