The skincare ingredient retinol is great at exfoliating the skin and boosting collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and make skin look fresher and plumper. This powerful ingredient should be used with caution as it can cause irritation, but beauty enthusiasts have discovered a “great” retinol cream that can be a “godsend” if you want anti-aging benefits even on sensitive skin.
Tree To Tub’s Retinol Anti-Ageing Face Moisturizer is a hit in the US, with shoppers from the Californian brand saying their “skin has never looked better” after using the product. Sold at Target, the “amazing” cream is lucky for UK shoppers to also buy it on Amazon for the cheap at £21.99, with free next-day delivery available for Amazon Prime members.
Anti-wrinkle face creams include: A powerful combination of hyaluronic acid, organic aloe vera, and retinol leaves skin “smooth, soft, and hydrated” after the first use. The retinol fights wrinkles, the hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates, and the aloe soothes. Shoppers say they “love the simple ingredients” that make it “non-irritating,” yet “surprisingly effective.”

To reduce the appearance of “lines, wrinkles, dullness and sagging skin,” you’ll need to apply the cream to your face every night. This “light and refreshing” formula is “not at all greasy” and has “no strong scent,” so you can fall asleep right away without having to wait for it to soak into your skin. Free of harsh chemicals and made from organic, calming botanicals like ginseng green tea, the product has received glowing reviews from shoppers who’ve purchased it on Amazon.
One person shared: “I’m 53 and have very sensitive skin. This night cream is amazing! It’s acne-free, moisturizes, feels great on the skin, and doesn’t have a strong smell. After just a few weeks of use, I can see a huge improvement in the texture of my skin!” Another user wrote: “I have very sensitive skin and am allergic to a lot of things. It’s a bit sticky and oily. I was worried I would have a reaction to this but it far exceeded my expectations. Would recommend.”
The anti-ageing effects have impressed users, with one user explaining: “I saw a visible change in my skin after just 2-3 weeks of use. Fine lines have been reduced and my skin is much brighter. I wish I had taken before and after photos. I would definitely recommend this product.”
This reviewer writes, “Firstly, it’s not thick like some creams and you only need a little. Don’t let the fact that it’s not thick put you off. This night cream works wonders. I was starting to get lines on my forehead but with continued use they have become less noticeable. It doesn’t make my face oily or shiny. In the morning my face feels smoother and has a healthy glow.”
A few users pointed out that it’s a gel, not a cream, so it’s not as hydrating as they’d hoped. If this isn’t your thing, you might consider Elizabeth Arden’s Retinol + HPR Ceramide Cream, which is £75 for a 75ml bottle and “a little goes a long way.” Medic8 Rejuvenating Multi Ceramide Night Cream is £19 for a travel size, making it ideal if you’re looking to get younger-looking skin while travelling.
