The Skincare Diaries (Entry 2)

It's been 2 weeks (ish) and so I thought I'd give a bit of an update to my skincare trial; in all honesty the first thing I noticed was a breakout in week 1.. now I can't in all fairness blame the products seeing as I treated my skin pretty badly over the festive period, so I did give these another chance and my skin is now as clear as it normally is (which is not completely blemish free!)  First impressions though:

Roc Retin-ox intensive anti-wrinkle night cream:
The roc is a little drying at first, I expected this from a retinol based product which is why I decided to use it with a serum. 

Dr. Organics Snail Gel Facial Serum
The snail gel serum however is very moisturising but with an extremely strong smell! It smells like lemongrass and it's not nessecarily bad but I do worry people can smell it on me. I've noticed that my skin is nicely soft and moisturised so long as I use the serum with the cream but not much else has happened so far. I am hoping that the serum isn't reducing the effect of the retinol; the main thing I want is to firm up the skin in my forehead and reduce the fine lines around my eyes and nose, but maybe I'm asking too much!
