Dr. LeWinn’s Serum Series – Renew

Having not ever used serums regularly nor tried many at all, I was looking forward to see what this little beauty could do. No irritation of my Rosacea at all, which can be an issue with Retinol, so I’m extremely impressed with that. The hydrating effects are instant and lasting, with my skin feeling soft and looking radiant. My face appears smoother and firmer, with fine lines also seemingly softened. The serum has a lovely light scent, although it is a little on the runny side which I found rather off putting. The dropper/dispenser is a rather nifty way of preventing wastage of excess product, especially as you don’t need a huge amount, a little goes a long way. The one let down I feel is the price, it’s not affordable at all for me personally so it’s highly unlikely I will ever purchase this serum unfortunately.

Firstly I wasn't expecting plastic packaging on this one but it is functional and works so whilst not complaining this one doesn't look as pretty on my dresser.

The product itself us easy to pick up using the dropper and dispenses well. It has little to no scent and goes on like a dream. The gel is light and hydrating and able to be worn under moisturizer with no issues.

Daily use has left me with skin that feels firmer, smoother and appears more healthy. I definitely think the renew has not necessarily cured me of aging signs but helped to reduce finer lines on my face until near camouflage

A beautiful lightweight and easily absorbed product that leaves your skin feeling nourished

This serum was quite runny and not sticky at all and my skin loved it! My skin pretty much inhaled the serum and looks more radiant and feels much smoother. I found it a great base for foundation giving me a glowing finish. What I didn’t like was the applicator dropper. It’s chunky and until you get used to it, fiddley to use. I almost spilt it a few times until I got the hang of it. And because it’s runny, it’s easy to use too much. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it.

I recently tried the Dr. LeWinn’s Serum Series – Renew and I have to say, I am quite pleased with the results. This serum has a lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. I noticed an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after using this serum regularly for a few weeks. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey, but I believe it's worth the investment if you're looking for an effective anti-aging serum.

The serum is a bit pricey but it’s concentrated and you only need a small amount with each application. It contains RETINOL and BEAUACTIVE® plus Vitamin E. The texture is very lightweight and it promises to target some of the most common skincare concerns, like hydration, skin cell renewal and skin radiance. I noticed an improvement in the appearance of my skin from the first application & the results just got better with time. I have been using this serum daily for over 2 weeks now and there is a clear reduction in the appearance of my fine lines. My face feels and looks more youthful, firmer and hydrated. Would definitely recommend this. - I was gifted a product sample to trial and review -

I was very excited to try this serum! Whilst a little on the spendy side, it did promise some great results. The serum itself is not all oily and absorbs quickly. I didn’t find it overly moisturising in itself, but as it is always followed by a separate moisturiser, this wasn’t really much of an issue. Very light fragrance, not at all offensive or overwhelming. The dropper packaging is absolutely horrible. Chunky and awkward to use, the top of the dropper is difficult to push to suck the serum up the dropper if you have any kind of nail. It was the worst part of this product. A standard dropper would’ve made such a difference. I was very surprised that the directions said to apply both morning and night as retinol products are generally a strictly night time application. This made me extra cautious with my sunscreen application each morning, an absolute must when using retinol products. Scratch that, a must ALL the time. Results, not many in the 2 weeks I have been using it. My skin does feel a little firmer and perhaps a slight reduction in the fine lines around my eyes. My skin does feel soft, but it wasn’t exactly rough to start with.

After twice daily use for at least 3 weeks I have noticed a sun spot doesn’t stand out so much so the serum has toned it down a little. I felt I needed at least double the 2-3 drops as recommended. It didn’t spread very far. I haven’t noticed any difference in wrinkle reduction. For $80 I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

I was thrilled to be chosen for this review. I love Dr. Lewinn's skin care range and have used many in the past.

As with this whole range, the packaging is simple and clean. It has a drop applicator inbuilt to the screw-top lid which is pretty great. I worked out fairly quickly that the best way to fill up the applicator is to depress the top first so the serum fills it, then unscrew the lid and depress the serum into your hand. Unscrewing the lid and then filling the applicator is awkward and potentially risky of knocking the bottle over, which I found out a couple of times by doing exactly that! I'm sure this is obvious to most of you, but without clear instructions of how to apply, these things can take me a while to work out, lol.

The serum itself is light and glides on. A little goes a long way. I love that. You can definitely feel that a serum is helping deliver the benefits of your moisturiser as well, as it leaves your skin feeling dewy and hydrated. Top marks for that.

This serum is targeted at aging skin, with the aim being to brighten, smooth and renew. Used religiously for 4 weeks, I can't say that it has delivered visibly, but I've thoroughly enjoyed using it in my daily routine and enjoyed what feels like smoother skin, especially when applying moisturiser or BB cream.

Overall, I enjoyed this product, but I don't see any real benefits from using it over others I've used in the past.

With all the talk about importance using retinol I thought I would give it a go. I didn’t really rate it as felt like it hydrated but didn’t actively change anything over the month of use. I wouldn’t buy again. It did hydrate though and overnight my skin felt hydrated in the morning.

Granted I was only able to trial this for just over 2 weeks due to a delay with the courier, but in those two weeks I haven't noticed any difference in my skin appearance or texture. I did like how you were able to just pump the product out by pressing on the supplied pump and then unscrewing it and applying it to your face/hand by pressing that pump again to release the product, however I did find that the recommended two drops wasn't enough to do my entire face. I found that I needed one full pump of product to completely cover all surfaces. No scent as well which I do like so if you're looking for a retinol that has no scent or you are sensitive to fragrance then this could be for you. It has quite a thin consistency as well, I'm used to more thicker products, so maybe that's why I found the recommended amount not enough. My main concern with my face is the one wrinkle I have near my right eyebrow but in the two weeks I used this product I noticed no difference in its reduction.

I think what I liked the most about this product was how soft it left my skin. I hate to say it but it was probably the only thing i liked about it.

I was really excited to try this product when I got chosen after reading all the claims with what it would do, however after these two weeks I can't say that I have been that impressed. I think I have used better retinols. Or it could be that I need more time to see a better result. I will probably continue to use it until it runs out to see if my opinion changes.

For context I am 45 years old and have combination skin. I also didn't use this after a toner as suggested. I just applied it after washing my face, am and pm
