Great Product!

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

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

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.
