My go-to retinol solution

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've tried a few different pure retinol solutions over the years and some mixed with other formulations, like this one by the ordinary. I purchased my second bottle having seen great results with this formulation. It's fast absorbing and feels very nourishing. I love the addition of squalane in this product as I also use the squalane cleanser. I apply this retinol only at night in the summer, always remembering to apply a good high SPF in the morning. I use it AM & PM in Autumn/Winter, again, applying SPF afterwards. My combination/blackhead prone t-zone has cleared right up whilst sticking to a simple regime with this retinol being my super performer.

Good and cheap

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Good and cheap retinol. I have started from lower percentage building up to date 1% as this one is. I would not recommend anyone going to one percent straight away. It does what it’s supposed to do

Very light

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The texture is more light if compared with hyaluronic acid. It is more watery so it can absorb to the skin very fast.

Love this!!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

One of the only products that actually help with my spots!! I use this every other evening and my skin looks so glowy and bright after use 🥰 I would say definitely use a spf during the day because this product can make your skin more sensitive to sun damage xoxox
