Sensitive skin? This $14 anti-aging cream is gentle but effective, shoppers say — and it's over 50% off

'Doesn’t leave me dry and flaking': Retinol is joined by aloe, shea butter and other nourishing ingredients to keep a lid on irritation.

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 users, resulting in redness and peeling. Amazon reviewers say LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream gets the job done without the harsh side effects. The affordable cream — on sale for $14 right now — is formulated with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter and vitamin E to help nourish skin and balance out the powerful main ingredient.

This highly acclaimed cream helps with everything from acne to wrinkles, shoppers say.

Why is it a good deal?

Other retinol creams can cost hundreds of dollars, which adds up quickly if you use one regularly. That's why thousands of shoppers reach for this pick from Amazon. Get a tube of the potent but gentle formula for just $14, down from $30 — that's over 50% off. It's only ever gone a buck or two lower than this, so if you're waiting to pounce, now is the time.

Why do I need this?

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. Its nourishing mix of ingredients makes it a strong contender for those with sensitive skin, according to LilyAna Naturals fans. They also say it helps with a handful of beauty concerns like signs of aging, dark spots and more.

What reviewers say:

More than 26,000 Amazon reviewers say this affordable anti-aging cream is an essential part of their skin-care routine.

"As an esthetician for over 13 years now, this product is phenomenal," said one expert shopper. "It helps to smooth the skin, tighten pores, balance skin (great for all skin types even sensitive), doesn’t leave me dry and flaking and I use it daily once a day."

"I use this before my moisturizer, and I feel it actually does help with some of the fine lines on my face," said another fan. "I also use it on my arms and the back of my hands to combat that weird crepey look. Don’t let the price fool you. It actually is good even though it’s not overly expensive."

Just be careful how much you dispense. As a final 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!"
