ABOUT THIS BRAND
As a young girl, Alexis Rose was drawn to the mystical world of plant alchemy. From homemade crystal infusions to magic spells and potions to call forth the rain, her childhood whimsy laid a fertile foundation for her life's work. After completing her studies in aromatherapy and organic cosmetic formulation, Rose launched LILFOX, a playful, soulful line of aromatic beauty rituals to enchant the senses. Still as capricious as ever, Madame Fox approaches beauty formulation as a sacred art form. Sourcing primarily organic and wildcrafted exotic virgin oils, unrefined butters, rare earth clays and high vibration hydrosols from around the world to her studio in Miami, Florida, she hand blends micro batches of luscious skincare recipes and infuses them with exotic essential oils, crystals and vibrant plant energies. Each LILFOX formula is a distinct work of art that is at once whimsical and grounded in technique. Never one to dilute or mask the sweet fruity smell of tropical oils, Fox layers exotic essential oils to compliment, balance and magnify the tart aromas of the plant materials. From the enticing perfumes and tempting body butters, salts and soaks to the succulent range of skincare, LILFOX is an invitation to beauty ritual.- Reviews

This product has really changed my skin in just 3-4 weeks. I started the night I received it, and basically have used every night. I have combo-dry skin, with hormonal acne. I need products that help maintain my skin clear, but also to help with turnover/texture and breaking up hyper pigmentation. So far, no dry patches, no irritation, just amazing results. Yes, there is a strong grassy/bitter scent, but I don't mind it. I find you must follow directions for this product (and Haute C), so it helps me slow my routine and be intentional about skin care as self care. I was looking for a stronger retinol alternative before I dive into the Maya Chia one, and this fits the bill. This product will become a staple.
CanadaMy skin and nose did not like this product. It played terribly with my other skincare, perhaps it's fine with products from the same company but you only get 2-3 in a beauty heroes box. I tried different creams, went through so many samples I had stashed away to try and find something this didn't pill up under. I would cleanse, mist with plain thermal water, apply Haute C, wait 10 minutes, apply this.....wait longer and then try to apply moisturizer. It never seemed to sink in and my skin just did not react well on the nights I used this. I eventually just gave it away to a friend of mine as I have other retinols I actually enjoy using.
I'm super thankful that I got introduced to this product via the beauty heroes subscription. I normally wouldn't have sought out a natural retinal alternative, especially one at this price point, but I am so glad to have it on my shelf. I've been using it every night and it's noticeably improved my complexion and texture in just a few weeks with no dry patches. I have had acne since age 11 and I am now 25 and have hormonal acne and oily skin. In the past year, I have tried to pay more attention to skincare and switched my routine over to clean and more sustainable products. I've tried a lot of topical acne products prescribed by my dermo over the years but I stopped using my prescription retinal (Tretinoin) after trying out Dewy Dream Bean because I liked the results of the retinal alternative better. After applying to my entire face, I find it helpful to add some extra spot treatments to active zits. The product is a little sticky so you have to give it a minute or two to dry before layering other things. I hope this products helps other people too, as it has for me!
All the "retinol alternative" products I've used before this have been serums. This is the first time I've seen it in an overnight, leave on mask form. It's a really great option to have, rather than layering serums with oils and creams--I can just put a few pumps of this on my face and go to bed. The stickiness of the gel texture dissipates quickly, and the mask is hydrating. It definitely works--I saw a reduction in my forehead lines after a couple of nights. Also, it has the best scent of any retinol alternative product I've tried. This is the real hero of the month for me!
