The brand describes its retinol cream as a botanically lush infusion of natural and organic ingredients (71%).
Of course, the main ingredient is Retinol, which is mixed with other actives such as green tea and vitamin E to promote healthy, younger-looking skin.
Dramatically reduces the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and other signs of aging.
This cream can be used once a day, on clean skin. The concentration of this cream is quite high, so you should start the treatment by applying it only once a day, preferably at night. At first it can cause redness and scaly areas on the skin.

Poppy Austin Anti-Aging Moisturizing Retinol Cream Review Summary
The concentration of Retinol within this cream is 2.5%, an effective level to offer its anti-aging properties for the skin.
Retinol itself is a bit irritating to the skin. At the beginning of the treatment the skin needs to get used to it, especially since the concentration of Retinol in this cream is quite high.
But Retinol is not alone, it is accompanied by other important active agents. One of the main ones is hyaluronic acid, a natural asset that has the ability to store large amounts of water in our skin. With this you can support the skin’s protective barrier, as well as its hydration balance.
The extracts of gotu kola, horsetail, geranium and dandelion are natural substances that are oily and therefore can reduce the loss of moisture from our skin, but they are also anti-inflammatory, healing and antibacterial agents at the same time.
Shea butter is another hydrating and nourishing active agent that is a great addition to any cream.
But I was surprised that to be a natural and organic brand, it includes products such as alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, a toxic and irritating preservative; o Polysorbate, an irritating surfactant.
These ingredients are in very low concentrations, but they are present, and they can produce irritation and harmful effects that are unwanted, if not short-term, then long-term.
It’s a shame, because if it didn’t have these ingredients, it would be a great option.
Alternative
If you are looking for a healthier alternative for your skin, Vsadey’s Retinol cream is a great option. It has not a single problematic ingredient, no alcohol, no irritants, no toxic, and no silicones.
It uses Retinol as an active ingredient, in addition to other moisturizing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients, so it can be a good alternative to Poppy Austin’s cream.
