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

Retinal is a must

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Anyone who doesn't use retinol, must. Its such an important step in evening skin care. It helps the ageing signs and wrinkles.

Love this

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used to work with a girl who had really bad acne, and after a few months her face was healed, so I asked her what she’s been using, and she recommended me this. My skin looks so good since I started using it, and I can’t leave without it!
