Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using the ordinary's products for two years and my skin has never looked/felt better. I use the retinol at night and the vitamin C in the morning. So affordable too.

A repeat purchase

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I always repurchase this retinol serum, it's lightweight, absorbs quickly and isn't drying like some retinols can be

I was a little disappointed with this to be fair. I didn’t notice any difference. Wouldn’t buy again

I’m new to using this product but so far so good. I’ve added to my skincare routine and loving how my skin looks and feels already.

This is a fantastic product with an unbelievable price tag. It would be rude not to have this in your skincare routine.

Firm fave

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has always been my go to retinol serum. It is a tad oily but I feel when paired with my night cream makes my skin feel deeply hydrated! Great price point as well!

Always repurchase

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Affordable, easy to use, not drying. I always repurchase this as I've never had any issues and the ordinary is typically a great brand. Some retinol serums are insanely priced and you genuinely don't need to spend a fortune.

Seems to be working

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It seems to be helping reduce the size of pores. Much oilier than I expected!
