Impressive results in just a few weeks!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’m genuinely blown away by The Ordinary’s Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. It’s strong but surprisingly gentle, and it has made a visible difference to my skin in a short time. My texture looks smoother, fine lines appear softer, and my overall tone looks more even and radiant. The formula absorbs quickly without feeling heavy, and it layers perfectly with the rest of my routine. I also appreciate that it delivers such high performance at an affordable price. If you’re looking for a powerful anti-aging product that really works, this one is absolutely worth trying!

Effective retinal

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After using The Ordinary granactive retinoid emulsion for years I moved to lower strength retinals from other brands, and then to this retinal from The Ordinary. My sensitive skin can handle it well when I use as directed, 1 pump 2x a week. When using more often my skin gets sensitized and feels stripped, so I stick to the instructions and use a milder retinoid on other nights. This helps diminish fine lines, as I notice when I stop using it.

Only started using this product recently and so far I’m super impressed. I can see results already and it’s definitely up there with far more expensive retinal products. I’ve already repurchased so I don’t run out.

Good retinal serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the first retinal serum that I have ever tried in my life and it seems to do what it is supposed to do. It’s not super agressive to my skin and I’ve been liking it!

Lovely retinal.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I noticed a difference after 2-3 weeks. The husband after about a week. I recommend the results are faster than with other products. We first bought this retinal in the Nigty Set, it will be cheaper with hyaluronic acid. It is important to keep the skin hydrated. I layer it like this: hyaluronic acid, moisturizing cream, retinal, and then if I feel that my skin is drier, I put another layer of moisturizing cream.
