I love this stuff. It’s very oily so only need a little bit but it’s great. Wake up with plumper smoother skin. Use it gradually and always wear SPF the next day

my favourite retinol!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

this is my absolute favourite retinol by The Ordinary - it sinks in so well, is gentle on my skin and doesn't irritate it. Big fan

Start with a lower %

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

As its 0.5% its quite high, I would start with the 0.2% if you are starting to use retnoil. The lower the % the better for beginners.

Unbeatable anti aging

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The Ordinary Retinol is the name of the game. Nothing comes close. Pure nourishing care, no fuss. Consistent use makes for the smoothest skin. On repeat purchase.

Not the strongest but good results

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Not the strongest of flavours, but surprisingly big. Can’t wait to see if they have any effect as I have heard good things!

Good start

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

The item is good for people just starting with retinol, as long as you don’t use too much and use it in the correct order with other items! Applies nicely with the squaline

The best

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Love this serum. I use it on my neck and chest to prevent anti aging (don’t use on my face because I have tretonion prescribed)
