Great price and quality product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product was always out of stock but finally managed to order it and so far pleased with it. It’s a great price and so far had no reaction to it, using it 2 times a week for now. Will likely to order more in future from this brand!

My go to company

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I find the company the best for a wide choice of products especially the Ordinary. The items are always available excellent quality and value for money. Having researched the internet on products on anti ageing it seems The Ordinary comes up one of the best for results and value for money. I have to say I agree with that statement . I love the Retinol Serum it improves my skin at every level without any irritation . I have used other products and they are excellent. The company provides speedy delivery and tracking .  Use Look Fantastic to Look Fantastic  Lyn Jones

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

often do not leave reviews but this product is amazing! bought alongside the saltic acid serum (can't remember how it is spelt!) and tend to alternate these two products every other night. this has significantly improved my skin to the point I have virtually no pink scarring or spots, have never found anything that works aswell as this. strongly recommend!:))

A great starter!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first time using retinol so I was worried it might make my skin worse. After patch testing i finally used it (I was so scare). And it was amazing! My face was so soft the next day. My skin didn't peel and didn't break out. I am using it once a week so my skin can get used to it. So far I absolutely love it!

Excellent product as a retinol newbie

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’m 40 with slight signs of rosacea. Skin generally ok otherwise. Been using this every second night for about two weeks now and the difference is noticeable - really pleased! Will give it another two weeks then try using it nightly.

So far...

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So far... amazing results. Going to upgrade to 1% retinol. Really does smooth things over overnight. I space it out over the week so as not to build up a tolerance as what happened when i used other Ordinary products every day.

Little potion in a bottle!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this because I read that retinol should be in my skincare routine since I am now 31 years old. I wanted to start with a low strength as I had read that it can cause peeling. This is perfect. I use it 2-3 times a week at night and I have definitely seen a difference in my skin. It looks more plump and younger. I am thinking of purchasing the stronger strength when I have finished this one. I would definitely recommend it for anybody who is new to retinol.

Love it!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This stuff is lovely and has worked wonders on my skin! Noticed a difference after only a few uses - skin feels lovely, soft, clearer, evenly toned. I've been using it in conjunction with La Roche Posay Effaclar cleanser and moisturiser and my skin is the best it's been in years. Amazing!
