Size:

A resurfacing serum, not a moisturizer. Neova's own one-line description of it is "exfoliate with hydroxy acids, accelerate cellular renewal with retinol, and safeguard with antioxidants", and its own subtitle calls it a daily serum with alpha-beta-retinol.

What is Neova Cell Renewal?

Three exfoliating acids and a retinoid in one bottle. Glycolic acid is the second ingredient of thirty four, which is high, and it is the first thing to know before deciding whether this belongs in your routine. Neova's own account of what each active does:

  • Glycolic acid, second. The simplest molecular size alpha hydroxy acid, derived from sugar cane, that speeds cell turnover and dissolves the bonds holding dead skin cells together.
  • Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, thirteenth. A retinoic acid that penetrates the deeper layers of the skin without irritating it.
  • Lactic acid, fifteenth. A mild AHA that gently exfoliates and softens.
  • Salicylic acid, seventeenth. A deeply-penetrating BHA that dissolves pore-clogging debris and oil.

The instructions that come with it

Patch test before you start. Neova's words: "patch test before first use." Wear sunscreen for as long as you use it. Neova's direction is to "always protect new skin cells with broad-spectrum sunscreen during daylight hours", and it repeats the instruction a second time on its own page. The brand's FAQ is blunt about why: "increased cell turnover can make skin more sensitive to UV exposure, so daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF is essential to protect results and prevent damage."

Already using a retinol?

Neova's answer is to use caution. In the brand's words, "Retinol (a retinoid) already increases cell turnover, so combining multiple renewal actives may increase irritation. Alternating usage is often recommended." There is a retinoid in this bottle already, so a separate retinol on the same night is two.

Where it fits in a routine

On clean skin, before your moisturizer, and Neova says a hydrating step afterwards is the usual way to use a renewal treatment. If your skin is not ready for acids, Power Defense is the antioxidant serum in the range and carries no exfoliant at all. The rest of the line is on our Neova skincare page.

Customer photo review of Jenny Navy Leather Loafer

Really nice shoes , well made , true as advertised. Very soft leather . They are a little narrow .

The shoes just felt very flimsy and I needed more support. My toes felt like they would pop through the holes when walking.

My bag arrived in reasonable time - under 2 weeks from UK to USA - as expected. The bag is beautifully understated with soft leather, a lovely smooth strap that will not snag delicate knits but wide enough to feel comfortable on the shoulder even when carrying a heavy tablet and a smooth running zipper. It is carefully finished - no loose threads or crooked stitching and was exceedingly well packaged so there are no creases or scratches. The price was exceptionally good, especially as it included shipping and tax. I will recommend and consider buying from this site in the future.

07/13/26 Seashell Handbag Hello, The bag itself is nice. However the ball of straw at the top makes it difficult to wrap the loop around it. The clasp needs to have a smooth surface or use a smooth metal clasp or a large faux pearl (like on other identical bags) or with a strong magnet or a clasp used on many top closure bags. I tried to push down the straw ball so it's easier to close. Tell your supplier about this issue.

Jelavu - Shelie Bamboo Crossbody Bag

The bag smells so horrible of toxic moth balls, I couldn’t even bring it in my house. My whole head hurt as soon as I opened it, and I had to wash my hands after touching it. It has been sitting outside for 24 hours and the smell is just as strong. I need a new one that doesn’t smell Iike this.

Jelavu - Sidney Black Medium Satchel Bag

These are well-made and very comfortable - was delighted when they arrived! The foot shape is very elegant (not too wide) which I think is not represented optimally in photo. More colors please!

Jelavu - Glimmr Dark Brown Sandal

Love this new bag. It has tons of room and a cute smaller bag inside. I love that it’s in neutral colors and compliments everything!

Ecotorie - Springhill - Tote Bag

These shoes were improperly size ranged. I am between a snug 6-1/2 and 7-ish depending on the shoe. I was too intimidated to order the smaller size seeing the 6– to 6-1/2 which 6 I am definitely not. So these 38’s are so huge I’ve inserted TWO inserts, and TWO Heel gels for each shoe and they are still hopelessly unwearable. I’m absolutely distraught. If you send me the smaller size I’m going to try to return these if you tell me how. Please send me the smaller pair.

I purchased it for my mother in law and liked it so much I I bought one for myself!
