Wow, thank you so much!

Thank you so much
Karen J.
Love this product! I have had rosacea my entire life so I have to be careful which products I use. This is the first retinol product that I have used that does not irritate or create redness. And it works! I can see my complexion and skin elasticity improve.
N D.
I have very sensitive skin and am always nervous to try new Retinol products. This product has been awesome. Not only is it helping even out my skin tone, but the texture of the product itself is heavenly. Love it.
Daniela D.
Sepia serum is finally what I want for my skin, after many years trying different brands I found the product that is perfectly tolerated without any discomfort. I definitely recommend this product.
Annette L.
I have noticed some of my fine lines are starting to diminish. I use faithfully nightly and recommend this amazing product.
Kelli I.
Huge fan of this serum. It hasn't given me dry patches, in fact it's actually seemed to soften my skin, the moisturizing ingredients help to counteract the drying properties of retinol and my skin truly seems more radiant and smooth than that of 2 weeks ago before incorporating it in to my routine. Love it.
AJ S.
Love this so much I had to buy another immediately!
Kathleen U.
It’s been three weeks using the product and from the first application my face felt smooth and firm. I received a compliment from someone that I see once a week from where my mother lives. She said what is the name of that product you told me about, your face looks really nice.
Terri Y.
Product is amazing! Leaves my skin feeling smooth and does not irritate my sensitive skin. I am fair skinned and turn red very easily. It is so nice to use a product that calms down my sensitivity and does not have any strong fragrant smells. This is a must have to any skincare regimen! I am looking forward to trying more products from Sepia!
P.s. My husband loves it too!
Nat M.
The serum is so velvety soft on my skin and continued use has improved the quality, feel, and look of my skin 100x! I love the product and can’t wait to see what else the line will come up with!
ABIGAIL A.
Eventide is gentle but effective on my sensitive skin. I love the packaging and how the the bottle dispenses the perfect amount. Looking forward to more Sepia products!
Sean M.
Hands down one of the best retinol serums I’ve used. The texture is perfect
Nikki W.
Love this product!
Jones J.
I've not used a retinol product before and wow! I am so impressed! I am using it every night and can already see a difference in my complexion! My face is so soft, hydrated and glowing!
Debbie S.
Directions say 1-2 drops and that is all that is needed as the serum spreads so easily. My face feels a lot smoother and brighter after just a couple of weeks.
Great product, looking forward to other products coming out soon.
Elsa I.
You guys… this is a miracle in a bottle! I have had really bad melasma ever since I had my son (9 years ago) and in an attempt to improve my skin I used products that made the problem much worse. I’ve spent so much money trying to find something that helped minimize my hyperpigmentation but it only made my skin really sensitive to the sun and the spots got darker. I have been using this product for almost 6 months and I can now tell you, my dark spots on my forehead have completely disappeared! Trust me, this works! I am now 40 and I can tell you my skin is clearer and brighter than in my late twenties. Just be patient, use this serum at night and don’t forget your spf during the day - you will see results.

The serum is really effective. With regular use, my skin has become smoother, firmer and more radiant. It glides on easily and absorbs instantly without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling. It really helped reduce the appearance of wrinkles and even out my skin tone. Results were noticeable after just a few weeks of use.
Alia
I loved that this product was extremely gentle,yet effective.I noticed my skin become smoother and texture evened out.
Stan
This serum is very gentle but very effective. It didn’t make my skin peel or burning like other retinol products but I see my skin texture improved over the time. I see my skin smoother and less fine lines.
Lauren
I thought this retinol product was amazing. For the amount of time that I used it I really feel that the product made a difference. My skin has been more hydrated, supple and smoother. Improved a bit with my dull complexion and skin evenness. I don’t have a huge issue with wrinkles , but it did help a bit with the lines. The timeframe using the products at night worked out because it’s very light and it’s like you have nothing on at all. What I love most about this product was that once you put it on your skin immediately felt the effects and it absorbed. When I put it on, my skin immediately started to fill more hydrated and was supple to the touch. This product really makes a difference and I plan to continue using it.
Madalaine
I liked the feel of the product on my skin after application. It melted right in and left my face feeling hydrated and supple. I noticed it helped with my dark spots as well!
Garth
I liked how gentle and effective this product was. It left my skin firm and smooth. Great to use daily without any irritation.
Nancy
I liked how youthful and glowing my skin looks after using this product. It was easy to apply and the results are beyond what I was expecting. My skin feels tighter and firmer and with the results, I feel more confident and happy about my appearance.
Alicia
What I like most about this product is that if it into my routine seamlessly. I was able to switch out products in my routine, and this product remained steady.
David
After using this product for 84 days I noticed my skin feels brighter and smoother. My skin feels much softer and fine line and wrinkles are les noticeable. I would continue to use this product and highly recommend.
Anju
I noticed skin improved in texture, even skin tone, more smooth and plump. I highly recommend this.
Caroline
So this product has really jump started the process of rejuvenating my skin on my skin care journey. I have always had a love/hate relationship with Retinol products because I typically break out within the first couple weeks using it. I have now been using this new Retinol product for sensitive skin for almost 3 months now. There are so many good things about this product that I'd like to speak on. First off the packaging is super convenient and dispenses the perfect amount needed, a little bit goes a long way. Next the texture of the product is silky soft, it applies and blends with virtually no effort. It absorbs almost immediately and layers beautifully under makeup. I had absolutely no breakouts with this retinol product which is not typical for my skin. I am beyond happy with the results of this product and will continue to use in my skin care routine.
Anika
I think this retinol was super gentle on my skin and made it so nice and soft and evened out my skin and improved the elasticity of it. I’m very pleased with the results
Ana María
Overall I enjoyed the retinol took some time for my skin to adjust but quality great, moisture was better after week 7 and 8. The texture in my skin is visible and the dark spots are much better - hardly visible. Undereye and around the mouth lines area also improved! (In the pictures my nose is red as I have allergies) overlooked areas were my undereye appearance overall product performance delivery was greatly improved after week 8. Would include this into my nightly routine after effectively receiving skin benefits from this product:)
Ann
As far as positive results go I do see a marked improvement in multiple areas of my face. Wrinkles are less noticeable. My favorite result was the evening of the texture of the left side of my chin where I had a thickening of texture of acne scars. Amazing, that area has improved about 70% in this short time.
Elizabeth
I loved everything about the serum. Especially the instant glow it left my skin it. At the end of the 84 days my skin was visibly brighter, clearer and more vibrant.
Blake
Aside from the potency, I generally liked everything about this product. I especially liked how well it applies and absorbs without leaving a film or feeling greasy. I also liked the improved tone and smoothness with my forehead not as bumpy. The other qualities I liked most are the enhanced glow and plumpness it provided.
Sara
Super gentle, glowing skin, a firm and much more plump skin. I enjoyed using this product. It has left my skin so much more healthy and glowing. No skin irritation and great to use daily. My dark spots have cleared up somewhat and my skin is looking much more evened out.
Dee
Love the texture of this product... no smell, very hydrating. A little goes a long way. One pump and a half covered my entire face. My combo dry skin often didn't even need an additional moisturizer after using this product.
Even though the bottle tested was small, there is still quite a bit of products left after almost three months of use.
Product feels expensive and well thought out as far as formulation. Skin is left hydrated, supple, brighter and more even after regular use. No irritation or dryness whatsoever even around the eye area.
Will definitely purchase if price point permits!
Gary
I was actually surprised in the softness of my face. It felt smoother than it's ever been. This didn't make my skin red or irritated and that a plus. I noticed my face wasn't so dull looking after using this for a while. I did see some wrinkles that weren't as prominent as before. I have a massive amount of sun damage to my face from working outside and if this helped it out I'm willing to keep using it.
Rebeccah
This product goes on easy, works into your existing skincare routine, and improves the appearance of skin issues like dullness, discoloration, and wrinkles. I saw noticeable improvements in these, especially with my consistent and continued use of the product. I also felt like my pore size was reduced, and I loved that.
Lydia
I noticed less breakouts and firmer skin. I would use it every other day due to my sensitive skin.
Edward
My skin feels much smoother after using this product and that is really important to me. I am prone to dry, rough patches and using this product helped smooth a lot of those issues out.
Isabella
What I liked most about this product was the way it got rid of my comedonal acne. I suffered from bumps and uneven skin. It brightened even after putting sunscreen on.
Itzel
Honestly, what I loved about this retinol is that it didn’t disrupt my skin’s moisture barrier or irritated my skin at all.
Jasmine
I really like the glow it leaves on my skin. My skin appears clear and I think with more time, it can help fade or reduce dark spots.
Juliet
This product is a game changer, my face looks more smoother, faded dark spots, has good hydration, more brighter with plump.
Keith
I saw a difference in my skins tightness, clarity, how smooth it was.
Jessica
This product did not cause any irritation or redness and applied easily. It did not leave a greasy or sticky feels afterwards. I only Have a few fine lines or wrinkles and honestly did not notice a difference in using it. I do Not have uneven skin tones so that does not apply to my skin.
Kaily
I like that the product worked but didn’t make it a hassle to work with. There was some pealing but once I switched to a better moisturizer it stopped.
Mimi
I like that this product had more results in a short time on lines and skin texture/color of damage spots over other retinol products I have used in the past. It didn't burn and felt gentle, although I did experience flaking and peeling. I liked the texture of the product and that it absorbed right away, and I was able to layer my usual products over it. I also like that it didn't have a strong fragrance.
Molly
I feel like my skin is much plumper and smoother after using.
Sydney
The product has a good consistency. It left my face feeling very hydrated and soft after every use, it absorbs really fast which is amazing when you’re using more products and it helped my skin tone to look more even and bright
Tan
I found this product to be effective, I can see improvements in my skin’s texture, elasticity and appearance of fine lines.
Tony
This product helped my skin look healthy, smoother, firmer and definitely better. I like it’s easy and gentle overall. It light and doesn’t take my skin greasy or heavy. It works well with my other skincare so that’s great.
Jessica
I liked how my skin became more healthy and glowy
Rafael
My wrinkles look more soft.
