Customer Reviews

No results
There was nothing objectionable about this product but I certainly didn't see any changes in my skin's quality either. Expensive product for such poor results.

Sub-Standard Formulation
This product is not for acne! While this product does contain vitamins A (retinol), E (tocopherol) , & C (ascorbyl palmitate) in a form that can be used by the skin (many other skin products do not) it also contains many hazardous ingredients, especially for acne suffers like fats, fatty acids, cholesterol, wax, and silicone oils; these ingredients will moisturize but also clog pores, make skin shiny, and may give people milia. In addition to this it contains trithanolamine a pH balancing ingredient that has been linked to cancer among many other health problems.

Retinol, a form of vitamin A is less stable, and less potent than prescription Vitamin A products, and could be less irritating to some but still has the potential to cause serious skin irritation. However even if Afirm had no Vitamin A, the other ingredients here including the additives that are meant to stabilize the retinol and prevent it from breaking down before it gets on your skin, are enough to cause serious reactions. I am shocked that DermaDoctor both recommends and sells this product without any warning. Any prescription vitamin A product would be much safer; there is much work to be done to make this product better!
