Good retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Part of my routine in the evening. effective and affordable retinol. I use stronger products also, but this one is in "everyday plan" and it makes my skin less sensitive when I use stronger actives. I use this one for more than a year now and I intend to continue with it.

Good retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is an effective and affordable retinol. I use most night. Only thing I would say is that it can be somewhat greasy so best not to use too much.

Excellent product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my 2nd bottle and am pleased with the results so far. Only need a few drops as it is quite oily. Blends in nicely though after applying my night cream.

Strong stuff

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So I'm slowly building up my strength to retinoids, 0,2 then 0,5 and recently moved to 1 which is quite strong so my skin still gets a little dry but it's amazing to see that it works! I usually use this once or twice a week just because my skin need to build up the resistance. Very happy.

Good weekly treatment

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great addition to my beauty regimen. Used once weekly it definitely helps to improve the appearance of scars, marks and imperfections.

Potent

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Very good, I wouldn't use it more than a couple of times a week though and factor 50 is absolutely necessary the following day

Good retinol from the ordinary

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s a very good retinol, it’s a good concentration and not too harsh on the skin. I use it every two days and try to avoid during summer but otherwise it’s perfect

The ordinary retinol is the best

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Maybe because it's in squalane, but it's hands down the absolute best

Works amazing with the Body Shops Vitamin C serum. Use the retinol at night and the vitamin c in the morning. Makes my skin so clear and soft!

Moved up from the 0.5% and can definitely feel the difference. Perfect for 3x weekly use when you get used to it.
