great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The price is quite affordable for cosmetics with retinoids, the product is very effective and does not irritate. I think it is more suitable for beginners and sensitive skin. Personally, I need something stronger for the first signs of aging

It works, but very rough way. I am experienced in retinol but after it's using I got some extra pimples and irritation .

Really good

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

A very effective and affordable retinal option. I'm repurchasing this for the second time and I've been really happy with it. My only qualm with this product is that it stains (think pillowcases) even when I've applied moisturiser on top. So keep that in mind and use a spare pillowcase you don't care much about.

Gentle Yet Effective Retinal

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product! Since it’s retinal, it feels much less irritating than retinol but still really effective. The tube is quite small, but you need such a tiny amount each time that it actually lasts a long time. Definitely a great addition to my skincare routine.

Gorgeous retinal.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After using the expensive Medik8 retinal 10,I decided to buy this cheaper version, Im using retinal for years and results are stunning, I bought this product to take a small step up from 1% to 2% retinal. I've used this for about 3 months now and I needed repurchase here...my skin is in the best condition it's ever been! I started with once a week and now I'm up to using this most nights. When I have any acne/rosacea bump flare ups, this helps clear my skin so fast. I've definitely noticed a difference in texture and clarity. Plus it's so affordable! It definitely is bright yellow, doesn't smell great, and also doesn't spread super easily on the face but those are all things I'm willing to let go for the value.

so far so good! I can't wear it everyday but it feels good on the skin and I have found it very easy to work with

Great results for a budget retinal

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm a big fan of this retinal emulsion formula! I use it to help with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from my acne. It does leave your skin a bit yellow, and if you apply it right before bed, it can stain your pillowcase. I think it delivers great results for a fraction of the price of most retinal products.

Great and inexpensive

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I feel like this is such a great product for a reasonable price. If you’re new to retinoids, this isn’t an entry level products, but if you have experience it’s not too harsh or drying
