Not too harsh and a good place to start

Skin feels and looks glowing! Use one night a week, then build up to every night.

Great budget retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am a long term user of retinols & this one doesn’t disappoint.  It is very oily so best applied half an hour before bed to allow it to sink in.  I haven’t found it irritating in anyway.  For such a reasonable price this is a great retinol.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Since using this retinol I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. The appearance of the dark spots on my cheeks have reduced, I seem to get less blemishes and my complexion is more glowy the dull. I can’t do without now and such great value for money as well! Would recommend to anyone

Its 2 runny for me

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have since purchased another one for my face but I do use this on my neck and chest. Slight improvement on my cleavage lines. Going to try using it on my stretch marks just to use the bottle up.

Strong

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I like it, but it does tend to break out my skin if I use it too often. But that's what retinol does, nothing against this product.

Nice retinol

This isn’t the usual one I buy but the one I wanted wasn’t available. Decent alternative.

Fine lines visibly better!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using this for a few months now. I use it daily on my neck and chest, then once a week on my face. My neck had quite a few creases and I had a line on my forehead. I’m not kidding the line on my head has completely gone as well as those on my chest and my neck is visibly better!  I find it quite strong on my face so I use a tiny bit and face mask the next day to take away any dryness

Already impressed

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Im sooo excited to see what this baby can do! Retinol is a godsend for hydration and preventing signs of aging! I’ve just applied it before bed with a vitamin c serum after and a  peptide moisturiser to finish. The retinol is soooo hydrating my skins feeling silky smooth and super soft! I’ve not long since turned 31 so I’m starting to get slight lines on my forehead as I’ve an annoying habit of always having my eyebrows raised 😂 hoping this will help smooth those out as It no doubt will. The ordinary products are just incredible you can’t go wrong the cost is so low for such an amazing product & the results are always wonderful. Would highly recommend even during my first use as a retinol is a MUST HAVE for your skin care routine!

No irritation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol is in squalene. The squalene facial oil is divine! My skin will be velvety and soft, without causing any irritation. It's a very pleasant feeling. I use it in the evening, of course, and I only apply this product, I don't use any other serum at the same time. I apply it on my neck too and on my hands.
