Very good

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s a bit oily so I wouldn’t use it every night but makes my face feel really good every time I use it

Hopeful it’ll help!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Too early to tell really, as I think they say results am an take several weeks. There’s virtually no fragrance. It’s a lightweight and easily absorbed product. I bought to use in conjunction with a micro needle roller on a year old ice burn scar on my leg. I thought it would fade on its own, but it hasn’t. So I’m hopeful this will help 🤞🏼  Been using about 3 or 4 days and the optimist in me feels like there is a slight lightening…we’ll see! No dryness or irritation as of yet and I have been using daily.

Amazing

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Don't be put off by the price of this as some people believe if it's cheap it's not that good but this little serum packs a punch, it's consistency is more oil than serum but my face in the morning after using this is so soft and hydrating

Holy grail retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this retinol! I have used it 3 times a week for a few months and I’ve noticed such an improvement with my skin! If you have sensitive skin like me, you may want to use the lower % and start with once a week and gradually build it up from there. I haven’t tried any other retinols as this one just works so well for my oily/acne prone skin.

Works wonders

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm 60 and wanted something to smooth my crepey neck and ideally reduce facial lines. Never having tried retinol before, I bought this a few weeks ago to try out as it wasn't expensive. The first night I put it only on my neck, the next morning... I could not believe it, but my neck was already smooth! The horrible crepey look had gone, I was absolutely thrilled! A few weeks on, and now using it on both face and neck, the neck is still good and I'm being patient about imorovements in my facial lines which clearly require a bit more time and effort.

Strong product

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first time trying retinol. I’ve got  oily skin, and so far, I can only use it once a week because my skin becomes red. I understand this product helps to regenerate new cells and acts as chemical peeling, however,  although I do not have sensitive skin or dry skin this product is too strong for me to use daily. I only gave it three stars, because instruction says it should be used daily.

a great retinol serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The ordinary retinol serum is in my constant evening routine. Normally, I regularly use Tretinoin creams 0.5, which are a little too strong for my neck area. This is where this serum performed well, because in addition to a good proportion of retinol, it has an oily texture that nourishes the skin nicely. I don't need to apply a night cream after it, even though I have dry skin. For beginners, this is a great retinol serum
