Review: LilyAna Naturals Retinol Cream Review (20% Off Coupon!)

LilyAna Naturals provides an organic and natural solution to anti-aging with results that are visible and effective. Similar to the line’s Vitamin C Serum, their Retinol Cream tops Amazon’s bestsellers in the beauty category and has a growing audience of consumers across a wide demographic that continues to praise the combination of results and affordability.

Having used the cream myself, this article will be a Lilyana Naturals Retinol Cream review.

Before we begin, make sure you’re ordering LilyAna from a legitimate retailer, NOT from a counterfeit seller. For your convenience, here is the Amazon link to an authentic LilyAna retailer.

We love the ease of access to a natural and results-driven product offering, and the Retinol Cream is no exception. Retinol products have become synonymous with anti-aging. Consistent application and use of this cream boost collagen and elastin production (production begins to decline over age, but replenishment can heal existing damage).

Additional benefits include increased cellular turnover, a decrease in pore size, and addressing any signs of sun damage or hyper-pigmentation. Retinol creams are beneficial in the treatment of preexisting signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, and also act as preventative skincare treatments to mitigate future damage.

Dermatologists, aestheticians and skincare experts widely agree on the power of topical retinol treatments, with many calling it a “miracle in a bottle” and the “key to permanent post-facial skin without the price sticker.”

Lilyana Naturals has developed a product with clinical-grade strength retinol, and supplements the product with all-natural green tea and aloe vera, an option to soothe the skin free of any harsh chemical additives.

So how does this product compare against the steep competition? Users and fans seem to agree that this is a highly effective treatment option that is free of any potential irritation (redness, breakout, reaction), and the soothing ingredients in conjunction with retinol make it both safe and efficacious.

Rare is a clinical-strength topical retinol that makes claims to soothe the skin and provide a gentle application.

Lilyana Naturals Retinol Cream Review:

Lilyana Naturals is a newly-incepted company that acts as an exclusive Amazon vendor (for now).

They are best known for offering affordable but effective products, and are a vegan, all natural, cruelty-free brand. Family owned and operated, they set out on a mission to develop a small collection of naturally formulated products that were gentle and offered the same skin results as more expensive and/or chemically based treatments.

Their retinol serum is the most-reviewed product, offering all of the same benefits to the traditional treatment without any of the typical retinoid side-effects or corresponding irritation to the skin.

With the soothing ingredients found in this product, users will be happy to experience the same benefits to use as a traditional retinoid without the initial redness/peeling time period that typically occurs with first-time use.

Consequently, the retinol cream acts as a moisturizing agent as well as a full anti-aging treatment, unusual as retinoids are typically inherently drying.

Bonus tip? If you’re comparison shopping for other great beauty products to pair this product with, I used mine with Thayers Witch Hazel Toner and Valjean Labs Facial Serum for a complete regimen that didn’t break the bank (and I had glowing skin)!

Lilyana Naturals Retinol Cream Pros & Cons

While the benefits to this retinol cream and the skin are overwhelming and feedback remains consistently positive, we wanted to take a look at some of the negatives as well to see if any resonated or may resonate with a prospective buyer.

  • Vast majority of users experienced visible results at a lower cost than competitor products

Lilyana Naturals Retinol Cream: Worth It?

Lilyana Natural’s Retinol Cream is a great product for first-time retinol users and offers a way to calm and soothe skin, as well as retain moisture, while providing all of the same benefits as any other clinical-strength topical retinol formulation.

Those with sensitive skin types should still always exercise a certain degree of caution with retinoids, but this specific treatment offers a more comfortable and moisturizing option than the vast majority of competitors.

Skin is left supple, hydrated, but full anti-aging benefits are enjoyed. This cream is useful in the treatment of both preventative and retroactive anti-aging skincare.
