I’ve bought this a couple of times, mostly because it’s a less-expensive option and I like The Ordinary. Pros: price, my skin feels moisturised in the morning thanks to the squaline. Cons: less it more because it’s so oily, so it’ll ruin your pillowcases. Also, I’m not totally sure it works but that’s just my opinion on topical nonprescription retinoids in general.

In general I love The Ordinary for great price/quality ratio. This case was the same, it’s a very good retinol for this price, worth the money. I would repeat again. Thank you for affordable beauty!

This is a repeat purchase because I LOVE this product. It' perfect for my skin which is dry, sensitive but needs a lot of exfoliation. I see improvements the next day on skin texture and clogged pores. The most important thing is to keep the product in the fridge after opening and use it up in three months.

I've used up the entire bottle already and while I didn't see major results it has allowed my sensitive skin to get used to retinol without having irritation. I'm using the 5% now from the same brand.

I have been using this for a week or two and notice my skin evening out and it’s super hydrating and makes my skin glow.
