  3. Works well, but have a question

    cfjackie

    It is not clear to me how to use this product. You cleanse your face, dry and then apply this product. Do you rub it in like a scrub or apply like a moisturiser. Then leave. No need to use moisturiser. Is this correct. I have noticed a positive difference in the few weeks I have been using. However I am confused regarding its application.
  4. Beautiful

    Alice

    This product has really helped, my skin feels so soft and brighter, the perfect addition to anyones skincare regime
  5. Nourishing

    Monika

    This leaves my skin feeling very supple and nourished. It doesn't cause me any irritation at all. I use it every second night, alternating with glycolic/salicylic acid. I do use a fair bit though as the consistency is on the thick side.
  6. Great product

    Sophie

    verified purchaser
    I’ve had a few breakouts of late & have been using this product of an evening & alternating with a BHA. It’s been great & hasn’t aggravated my skin but has helped with my skin resurfacing
  7. Beautiful addition to any routine

    Jaci

    I loved this! I received this as a sample size and completely adored this! Nice and gentle on my oily, acne prone skin. Yet very effective!
  8. Great

    CJ

    This was the first retinol product I started using and I love it. It isnt too intense for a first timer retinol user however make sure you follow the instructions to slow introduce it. Personally I don't pop anything on the top as I think it works better & also doesn't leave my skin feeling too dry. You only need a small amount so a little goes a long way. Its $$$ but will last you a long time.
  9. Leaves skin soft

    Love

    verified purchaser
    I have only been using this for a few weeks but immediately I could see the difference. Skin the next morning is baby soft, smooth and feels plump and lively. I don't have sensitive skin, but there's no tingle from this which I enjoy and can comfortably use it every second night.
  10. The only retinol I would use

    K

    I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts. I first bought Cosmedix Define at the recommendation of my beautician prior to my wedding. I had tried a pharmaceutical retinoid in the past and it made my skin peel quite badly. I find Define is gentle enough that I can use it 3-4 times per week. I’ve now been using Define for about 2.5 years and have noticed the texture of my skin is better, I...

  11. My anti-aging fighter

    howen1

    I have finally bought this after reading various reviews and research. It is the night time use treatment 2-4 times weekly use. The texture is not like serum but more like cream to be applied. After days applied I noticed my wrinkles are less noticeable and the skin texture improved. Very happy with this product.
  12. Cannot go without this product - highly recommended!

    Gemma (Adore Beauty Staff)

    I have been using the Cosmedix Define for almost three weeks now and have noticed changes in my skin. My skins texture has become a lot smoother, old scars have begun fading away and my complexion has become a whole lot brighter. I use this product every second night and this product has now become a staple in my skincare routine.
  13. Great Formula

    Hayley

    I really like the way Cosmedix Define Age-Defying Treatment feels on my sensitive skin. It's hydrating and I don't need to use a moisturiser over the top. I like that it leaves my skin feeling a little bit tingly for the first few minutes after applying because I know that it's working. I've been using this product for over a year and I've noticed an improvement to skin texture.
  14. Careful with use

    Jane

    I started using this product on my combination skin again recently and within a couple of weeks remembered why I had previously stopped. My skin which has been consistently clear for a long time has broken out quite a lot. Admittedly I was using it nearly every night to begin with as my skin is very tolerant to retinol, but I will now have to reduce to once a week only to see if it calms down.
  15. Amazing product

    Jess

    I was recommended this by my dermal clinician and am now on my third tube! I'm in my early 20's but am outside everyday therefore suffer pigmentation/ uneven skin tone and this seriously helps! I also get frequent blackheads/ bumps and this just makes everything feel so smooth. I use it as a night moisturiser 4 times a week and ALWAYS wear sunscreen during the day!
  16. Great first retinol

    Lana

    I purchased this after a skin consult (if you haven't had one, get one!) to address occasional breakouts, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and signs of ageing. It has been great - easily tolerated and I've built up to second nightly use without irritation. I'm on my second tube and will probably switch to a higher dose retinol product next, but have been really happy with this. Both pigmentati...

  17. Great introduction to Retinol

    Smaddi

    I had never used a retinol before, but wanted to give one a go. Mind you, one of the reasons I hadn’t used one is because I was scared for some reason. I think all the stories of people over using it and “burning their faces off” scared me off. After doing some research I settled on Cosmedix Define and I am so happy I did. My skin has handled it well and I haven’t had any trouble with it.
  18. Good retinoid

    Lucy

    Bought this from Adore over a year ago, a little goes a long way - had to use very slowly when starting as skin not used to retinoids but didn't make my skin flake.
    Have since changed to Skinceuticals but this was a fine product and lasted forever!!!
  19. Such an amazing retinol

    LH

    I have been using this product for a while now and must say I absolutely love it. It goes on nicely and you don't need to use a lot, which is helpful given the price. I have oily, problematic skin and find this does wonders for it.
  20. Love this skin trreatment!

    Sally

    I was looking for a product to help smooth out bumpy skin from acne breakouts on my chin, this product works well and I can see an improvement after a couple months of use. Bonus us that is also provides a nice retinol treatment for the rest of my face. It is strong and will cause peeling if you use more often than the 2-3 times a week suggested on the packaging.
  21. Go to Retinol

    Monique

    I've been using Cosmedix Define as part of my night routine for the past year now. It's gentle enough to use nightly (although I use every second night because... I want all the products and only have one face) and strong enough to deliver the results. I truly believe this product keeps my acne at bay and keeps my skin looking clear and smooth.
  22. Quality retinol based product

    Lucy

    This was my first Retinol product and worked well on my skin as an introduction to Retin-A. Nice packaging and goes on smooth, easy to layer anything else (eg Hyaluronic) over the top as needed.
  23. Great

    L

    Very happy with this. Have repurchased it a few times.
  24. Great introductory retinol

    Maddi

    Used this is as one of my first retinols and really loved it, noticeable difference without being too harsh or reactive on my skin. I've since moved on to something more potent but to be honest I can't even tell the difference between the stronger retinol and this define resurfacing treatment.
  25. I prefer my usual brand

    Jag

    A quality product but I prefer my usual brand. I also like to keep the acids and the retinol usage separate but for somebody who can tolerate retinol it would probably be a good product. I receive this as a very generous sample.
  26. Fine

    Sylvia

    I got this product because I wanted to start using retinol my acne prone skin. I was using it for over a month however I dint t see any result on my skin despite much more pimples. I think The ordinary retinol does better job and its much cheaper.
  27. Fine

    Sylwia

    I got this product because I wanted to start using retinol my acne prone skin. I was using it for over a month however I dint t see any result on my skin despite much more pimples. I wont buy it again for this price point, used better ones.
  28. My favourite night treatment

    Jo

    This is my favourite night treatment, I use it every night and it is so moisturing and makes my skin feel so smooth. My skin glows in the morning. Be careful though if your new to retinol products as you need to build up to nightly use. I started out only using it once a week and built up from there. It most effective using it every night.
  29. New skin!

    Charlotte

    This product helps to 'freshen' the skin, used sparingly and fazed on and off in usage it will brighten and clear the skin. I cannot currently use this as I am on Roaccutane, but when I finish it I will definitely continue to use mine. This can tingle quite a bit if you are super sensitive skin type like me, but nothing unbearable and didn't cause breakout or adverse reactions.
  30. Good retinol

    Maddi

    Easily absorbed and doesn't sting like other retinols....would definitely buy again but might try something stronger next time.
  31. Soft, clear skin

    Joy

    Great intro to retinol. Best one I’ve used so far. It goes on light and absorbs straight away. Only tingles for about 10 seconds. I layer a moisturiser over this and in the morning, my skin is so smooth, glowing and clear. Going to try refine next which is the next level up in this range now I’ve been using this for about a year. A bottle lasts ages so a good investment.
  32. Great introduction to retinol.

    Shani

    After seeing a skincare specialist this was the first retinol product I ever purchased. I do not have sensitive skin but it definitely took a little while for my skin to adjust to this product. For the first week or two the product made my skin a little dry, red and flaky but after a month or two I did notice my skin was smoother and plumper. I have now moved onto a stronger more expensive Cosmedi...

My skin has handled it well and I haven’t had any trouble with it.
  34. Great for Smooth Skin

    McLemon

    Cosmedix Define makes my skin feel as smooth as a baby's bottom. It feels nice to apply and is not irritating to the skin. This product provides retinol without the dry and flaking skin that can sometimes come with it.
  35. Not my favourite

    Lachlan

    Very pricey but it’s decent... I like this but probably wouldn’t repurchase it unfortunately.
  36. I don’t like it

    Bre

    I’m not liking this, I haven’t noticed any improvement in my skin and I also really don’t like the smell. It’s quite unpleasant
  37. Intro to Retinol

    Jo

    I bought this product as my first introduction to Retinol. I feel it does a good job, I love the smell of it and how moisturizing it is. I'm ready to go up to Refine now and hopefully so better results.
  38. Smoothed my skin quickly

    Sally

    I have been using this twice a week and have noticed my skin changing already. My chin area suffers from hormonal breakouts and the skin can be quite bumpy. The area is smoothing out already after only two weeks of use. Would definitely recommend!
  39. Great so far

    Grace

    Have only been using this product for a week but i really like the feel of this serum and wake up with noticeably brighter and clearer skin.
  40. Really Works

    Vanessa

    I love this product, it has improved my skin tone and my skin feels smoother. I find that my moisturiser absorbs better and makeup goes on more evenly when I use this.

    This is so great on the skin. I really really like it although it kind of has a weird scent. Really great product! Loving it.

  43. Nice texture

    Mel

    I've tried a few retinols. This one feels like a quality moisturiser as well, doesn't dry out my skin like some others. I get a little flaky/ dry skin a day or two after using it, but nothing that's not easily fixed. Only downside is the price, it's quite expensive for what it is.
  44. Cosmedix Define Resurfacing Treatment

    Zhaowei

    Very light but very effective the same time,really moisture my skin,lovely under make up.
  45. Early days but feels nice

    Hayley

    I have been using this product twice a week for a couple of weeks now. It goes on nicely and you don't need to use a lot, which is helpful given the price. I have dry sensitive skin but seem to react well to it, and my skin feels lovely and hydrated in the morning after using it. Look forward to seeing how it goes over the next few weeks.
  46. Effective retinal treatment

    roslyn

    I use this once a week. I don't think you would need more, especially if you are using the other wonderful Cosmedix products.
  47. Best Vitamin A I've Come Across

    Jacqui

    This is the best Vitamin A/Retinol I've ever used. A lot stronger than my usual aspect one but the results are so worth it. Worth the buy.
  48. Serious improvement to skin texture

    Jordi

    My beauty therapist recommended this serum for night time to help with skin texture. I have generally clear skin that is slightly dry, but suffer from hormonal acne on the chin and slightly bumpy skin texture on the jaw line. I have introduced this product every second night for a week (as per therapist's instructions) and have already noticed significant improvement in my jaw line texture. Very h...

    Jennifer

    I have fairly sensitive skin which is quite dry, this product is creamy in texture and feels hydrating when it’s put on, it works overnight so in the morning your skin feels amazing! So soft, clear and even. I was definately suprised!

    I started using Define as recommended by my dermatologist and went from sample size to two bottles of Define later. Don't get put off by the price as the large tube lasted me over 6 months and you definitely get your money's worth. A little goes a long way. It comes out like a thick cream and is easily spread over your entire face. I found using define my skin was more plump and lines in my forehe...

This is a relatively thick cream, it glides on the skin (almost like a primer) spreads easily and dries down to a weight loss smooth finish. I only use at nights and have noticed my skin overall looking better. Clearer, tighter, more refined. Will continue with my sample then will purchase the full sized

    After a few recommendations of this I thought I’d give it a go. It definitely didn’t disappoint my skin had more clarity and smoothness after one night it also felt moisturised. I’ve been using it every few days to build up a tolerance to the retinol, no flaking so far like I thought I might. I can’t believe how quickly I’ve fallen for this product and how much of a difference it’s made in my skin...

    deanna

    I had never used a retinol before and this baby left my skin so soft and supple straight away. I’d put it on before applying moisturiser before bed and I fell in love. It introduced me to the cosmedix brand and I could not be happier.

    I bought this product as my facialist recommended it. After using it my skin looks clearer and hydrated. It contains products that are highly recommended for anti aging products.

    Lauren

    This is my absolute favourite night time treatment. I use a couple of times a week after cleansing and wake with wonderfully smooth, clear skin. It is a little expensive, but a little definitely goes a long way - one tube lasts me around 9-10 months.
    I use this on recommendation from my skin therapist.
  76. Great product, but use caution

    Evie

    I love this product, I use it every second night, and it's great for spot treatment too. Having said that, I did have to build up to being able to use it this often as your skin has to adjust, and I did so under the instruction and guidance of my dermatologist.
    This product leaves skin smooth and has a lovely texture, but can be drying, and create redness if overused.
