Afirm 3X

by Afirm

Product Description

AFIRM, a retinol cream, reduces the appearance of fine lines and makes your skin look and feel smoother and firmer.

Retinol is vitamin A, a nutrient naturally found in the body that helps maintain normal epithelial skin function.

AFIRM uses MICROSPONGE technology to entrap the retinol molecule to protect its potency and activity to help limit irritation and to promote its continuous release and an even uptake by absorption directly into the skin.

AFIRM works for all skin types. Three strengths are available: AFIRM 1x contains 0.15% retinol and is intended for sensitive skin patients and for use under the eye or on the neck where many people have more sensitive skin. AFIRM 2x contains 0.30% retinol and is for normal skin. AFIRM 3x contains 0.60% retinol and is for oily or less sensitive skin. For 1.0% retinol try DERMAdoctor Poetry In Lotion intensive retinol 1.0.

This is everything it is claimed to be! It completely turned the problems I was having with my skin around! Warning, though...IT IS STRONG! Be sure to consider the skin type you have and only "baby step" into the strength of this product. It comes in 1X - 3X. I recommend taking it slowly. I ordered the 3X right off the bat because I have a problem with my (age 55) skin sloughing off dead skin cells. This caused minor break-outs and dull skin. Literally, with one application of Affirm 3X, my skin felt different...AWESOME! It did make me peel like a snake skin though. I think I "over did" at first. Then when I backed off a little, I now have it working perfectly. I can see such a difference in my skin texture, smaller pores, completely cleared any problem areas I was having and I can see such a reduction in wrinkles already. I will definitely continue using this product.With the 3X strength I use it about twice weekly right now. I have also discovered an AMAZING, MIRACLE exfoliating cloth that I use at night to clean my face! Makes your face feel like baby skin. I LOVE IT, TOO! (Claroderm Micropeeling and Cleansing Cloth. You can get it on Amazon, too)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Results, April 25, 2009

This review is from: Afirm 3X (Misc.)

I tried Afirm 3X in place of Retin A in the Obagi Nu-Derm plan because I was nervous about jumping right into the harsh effects of tretinoin cream...The results were AMAZING. Within a few days this product had me gently but rapidly turning over new skin. My moderate hyperpigmentation disappeared within a couple of weeks...even before I moved up to the prescription vitamin A products that are part of the Obagi system. I used Afirm for several weeks and gradually prepared my skin for the more aggressive Vitamin A in Retin A or Tretinoin. Afirm 3X helped me completely avoid the red peeling and discomfort expected in the initial weeks of Obagi. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!

BTW, I started the system for some moderate sun damage and discoloration, but the bonus is that my wrinkles are GONE. (the ocassional mild acne breakouts have also stopped completely) I was recently forced to leave a little neighborhood pub until I could come back and produce my driver's license to prove I was 21. I will be 40 in 3 months...maybe the bartender was sipping a little behind the bar before I got there...but I credit this product working in conjunction with the hydroquinone of Obagi-- Admitedly, the poor lighting in that filthy bar didn't hurt either. Good luck!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, July 3, 2007

I found this to be a great product! I wasn't so sure that it would be, given the price. It's much cheaper than, but works just as well as the higher priced alternatives. Maybe better, being that there wasn't the usual problem of my skin having to adjust to the harshness of the product. No irritation or sensitivity. I will definitely purchase this product again.
