Gift for a friend
I gifted my dear friend the Glow Maker and Stargazer as beginning skin care products. She loves them! She said she had never known what to use on her skin. She reports that her skin feels fresh, soft, and youthful. It’s a great gift to get someone to begin their skin care journey with Maelove!
I use several of the products for years now and I just love them! I recommend them to everyone, but I have found that simply gifting them helps people understand the difference they make.

The best retinol serum for beginners
I was new to retinol and was afraid to try it because of what I had heard that it can do to damage your skin. Instead, you just need the right product and dosage like this one from Maelove. It’s gentle enough to not cause redness but still effective to reduce the sign of aging. I will definitely repurchase and recommend to anyone just starting out using retinoids.

Didn't care for this
I tried this and didn't care for the color, the scent and it caused a break out on my skin. I have used other retinol serums in the past. This one isn't for me.
