A good starting retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this a few months ago as my first retinol and I've been using 2-3 times a week. It's got a good light texture and I find its not irritating even when using 3 times per week. Having said that, I would say I have noticed only a slight improvement, but I think this is defo a good product to work up to a stronger retinol. Probably will go on to buy something stronger after this one.

Great product for the price

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is one of my favourite retinol products - the price, the effects & the consistency/texture tick all the boxes. I prefer this over the squalene based retinol products. My only wish is for there to be different strength % options as this seems less effective to the Ordinary 1% but I prefer the formula of Inkey!

Not what expected

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love the texture of this cream, really don't like the retinol serums drowning in squalene which are so common, so was very happy to start using this product. However, was rather disappointed when I found out that although it says it is 1% retinol, that is NOT what is delivered into the skin and it is likely around 0.3%. Fine for a beginner, but really wish makers would give proper details with their products.

Amazing product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is literally one of the best products that I have used. I have small amounts of scarring on my face and it has really helped to clear them. It isn't too harsh either as other retinols that I have used have caused irritation. I would advise to use an SPF after use though!

Nice experience

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This serum offers a really nice experience, nice smell, nice texture, no oily feeling and also all the amazing benefits of retinol, while still being a gentle, non-iritating. I'll repurchase it for sure.

I have purchased this item twice now - it's so good. There is a huge difference in the lines around my eyes - so much smoother and wide awake. My husband even commented on how good my skin looks. My complexion looks more even, and the dark spots have gone.

Perfect retinol introduction

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I wanted to start using retinol in my skincare routine but was worried about how intense it can be and i didnt want to damage my skin - this is great! I have really bad dark spots from acne scarring and it has helped with that as well!
