Works well

Not my jam

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have combination skin and had never used a retinol product before. The consistency of this was a little greasy but it does soak in and leaves my skin feeling hydrated immediately after application. HOWEVER, I noticed that I was breaking out all of a sudden and couldn't figure why. After skipping this product from my nightly routine for just 3 days I am again blemish-free, and I don't think I will be happy to continue using it as I also didn't notice any of the positive effects I was expecting from a retinol product. I would switch to the emulsion but I would like to go up in retinol strength and The Ordinary do not do a higher strength in the emulsion yet.

Saving Grace

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product is absolutely amazing. At first I was sceptical about using an oil since I have oily skin, however, the solution worked perfectly with my skin. It mainly helped to improve skin texture and dry patches. Would definitely recommend!

Love

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using it for a few months now as part of my night time routine after The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid 5% + HA. It has considerably improved the texture of my skin as well as my acne scars. It does not dry out my skin and my breaks outs have stopped. Nothing has worked the way these two products have!!!!

Little effect

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I had big hopes for this retinoid 2% but sadly after almost three bottles I see no difference. Not impressed, I'm afraid.

After 1 month

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My skin tone has become much more even and I’ve had no irritation. Will definitely upgrade to the 5% when this bottle runs out.

Loving it!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product, been using it for a month (twice a week), no irritation & my skin looks healthier, plump & hydrated. After I finish this bottle, I’ll try the 0.5% Retinol in Squalene. I have mature & normal to dry skin.

Amazing

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Myself (24) and my mum (54) have now been using this every night and it’s great! My mums neck lines and crows feet almost disappeared and my odd line has gone! Just remember to use SPF while using Retionals as it leaves your skin more susceptible.
