Oily

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is basically oil  It’s so oily I’m doubting the retinol has a chance to actually get through the oil and do anything  I had to wash it off

Love the way my skin looks

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Love this. Glowy skin. So many retinol product don’t say how much retinol so it’s hard to increase so I love that this is clear. Now a staple. Amazing balue

not bad for beginners

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I think this retinol serum is ok for beginners. I normally use tretinoin but decided to switch it up, however I didn't find that this one did much, it's lovely and hydrating as it's in squalene but overall, not the best. Probably wouldn't buy again.

I see why it’s a cult favourite

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This feels great on my skin going on. I use it at night and my skin looks great in the morning. I’ve felt irritation but that is just because I’m increasing the amount of retinol I use. It’s sold me on other products from this brand, it’s great

So oily

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Love The Ordinary products but this is so oily. Even using only a few drops for my whole face it just never seems to sink it. Woke up in the middle of the night to my face feeling oily from this. Not a fan!

Retinol serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this. Took a couple of weeks of using every other day for my skin to adjust. Goes on and absorbs nicely. Good price.

My skin looks so good after applying this. It goes on so beautifully. I like that it tells you the retinol % so you can increase it easily
