Great value for money
I have always tried to spend as much as I could afford on skincare usually paying £50 + for a serum. I have only recently started using retinol and thought I'd try this. I've been using it every other night for a couple of weeks and haven't had any issues with stinging or redness at all. It's a no-frills product but feels nice on the skin. I also purchased the matrixol serum, I use that on alternate nights too, I found in this weather it made my skin feel a but greasy during the day. My skin is definitely feeling smooth and possibly more even in tone. I'm very pleased with both products and I will buy them again.

Granactive Retinoid 5%
I’ve previously used the Granactive 2% in Squalane which suited my skin. I thought I’d go up a level and use the 5%. I wasn’t keen on the oily consistency of the 5% and felt it creep onto my eyelids from my forehead. Unfortunately, it broke me out in really bad acne around my mouth, chin, jawline and sides of my forehead. The spots are only just starting to go after 1 month. I did suffer from acne from age of 11-25 and it only cleared up after a few courses of medication. I do get the occasional spot but this was a proper breakout noticed by colleagues. I’ll begin using the 2% again when my face is totally cleared up.

Very pleased
My daughter recommended this, however being 67 thought I'd missed the boat. It was relatively cheap compared to some of my other potions so decided to give it a go. Aren't I pleased! Whilst not exactly taking 20 years off, it has improved the texture of my skin and really doesn't make me look better. I think others have noticed as they sometimes say 'you look well', which is not something I hear that often.

If you have texture, you need this
I have been battling with little bumps and rough patches on my forehead and cheeks for years. I decided to try this after my Emma Hardie cleansing balm and REN aha tonic in the evening. The first time I woke up and I looked refreshed. Six months after my first use and the bumps and unevenness of my skin has gone and I feel like the combination of the two has regenerated my face incredibly. This stuff used after the Ren tonic has completely changed my skin texture and it looks like glass. Amazing!

Has made a big improvement to my skin. It is softer, smoother and I’m sure I have fewer wrinkles! I will certainly buy again.

Good for beginners
I've used a fair amount of both prescription and over-the-counter retinol/ retinoids, some I've liked (Sunday Riley's Luna has a terrible price tag, but is much more effective than this) and others less so. This one's interesting in the sense that I have experienced *zero* irritation, but for me, it seems to come at the price of not doing much. The fine lines that my previous products kept at bay returned once I started using this. I think it's a decent introductory vit A product, but if you've dabbled in the field before, I'd give it a pass.

Skin smoother
I (42) have been using this product for a week, and my skin is looking and feeling very smooth and even - so good, in fact, that I have decided to go make-up-free today. My skin is used to glycolic acid peelings, so all the retinol did was give me a warm glow, no irritation. At the moment I have stopped all other peelings because I feel the retinol is doing such a fine job I don´t need more. Very happy, this product is here to stay.
