Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

It has an oily texture, so you need only a few drops to cover whole face. Previously I used Inkey list retinol cream, I think both work well, but this one may last longer

FOURTH PURCHASE and not the last

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The best product I've ever tried. Used already fourth bottle, and I will definitely purchase it once again. It changed my skin, now it's smoother, the skintone is better, and skin shines... So if you're looking for a product that would change your life - add it to your basket!

Too harsh on sensitive skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Although it makes your skin peel, I had a hard time with it because it burned me. I probably bought a high concetration so I'll try with a lower one. I don't like the smell but I love the texture, it's a very light oil.

Beautiful product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Really enjoy using this retinol, which was recommended to me, by a very youthful looking colleague.  When I asked her what she used, this was her go to.  I have been using it for a few weeks, so far so good.  Despite being oil it’s not greasy, I have acne prone skin, yet this really seems to suit my skin.

Lovely to use

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my first retinol product and it's really lovely to use. It feels like an oil when it goes on but absorbs quickly and isn't sticky or greasy at all. No adverse affects on my skin, I use it every other night at the moment, alternating with another serum. Love it!

Great retinol serum at a great price

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Easy to apply, my skin was fine with it (no adverse reactions), and it works! Have used it for 6 months and I can see the difference in my skin. It is smoother, softer, clearer. And an amazing price.
