Not a fan

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Didn’t like this product. It’s quite oily & didn't sit well on my skin. Didn’t seem to absorb into the skin so then just layering more product over it an hour later. Let for ages to see if it would absorb but no joy.

Must have

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Retinol is a must have in your skincare routine and this is really good quality, especially given the price. Just always make sure to start at a low concentration (e.g. 0.5%) if you haven't used retinol before and work your way up, make sure the skin is dry when applying and pat into the skin!

Great retinol for the price.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

As an avid retinol user (5yrs) I have built my way up to the ordinarys 1 percent which is the most potent out of all. I have been using this one for 4 night a week and I’m certain it’s doing something as my face looks a lot younger, I’ve not had any new lines and will continue to use religiously

Started using this alongside other ordinary products and im very pleased overall. My skin feels better and pigmentation has reduced in areas. Don’t think you can go wrong for the price

Bitty

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve brought this to try and feel it’s an oil rather than a serum. I takes ages to soak in.  But it also leaves like bit of grainy stuff all on my face

Affordable retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

When looking for retinol, most were out of my price range or really low in percentage. This was affordable and high strength enough that I decided to introduce it into my skincare routine. Can’t fully assess how effective it yet, but at the price it is I am happy to continue to trial this.  I am in my early twenties so mainly using it as a preventative measure.

My go to retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Always repurchase as its very affordable for 1%, doesn't cause irritation or dryness. A little greasy, but it absorbs fairly quickly so it's okay.
