Product Description

With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml) achieves healthier-looking skin by delivering a more direct delivery of vitamin A than retinol.

Working to improve the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, this superior emulsion also helps to refine skin texture, leaving it soft and smooth. Gaining its colour from the high concentration of retinal (which is naturally yellow), this must-have offsets the common side effects of retinoids with avenanthramide (a key ingredient found in oats) to reduce the feeling of skin discomfort and dryness. In short? We can't see ourselves without this bathroom-shelf staple...

Great, high-concentration retinal

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using the Medik8 Crystal Retinal for years and though I absolutely love it, I was curious to try a more affordable option and this product definitely did not disappoint. The Ordinary emulsion is non-irritating, highly effective and has a pleasant consistency. I think I will continue alternating between the two.

My fiets 0.2 retinal serum. I built up over the years. No problem with this one. Though the Geek&Gorgeous one is as nice and more value for money.

Exceeded expectations

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I wasn't sure if it would work, but it's very effective, my skin was firm and clear and youthful just after few weeks of using, highly recommending, it is fast acting, i didn't have any reactions as I'd already built tolerance from using retinol, but pair it with heavy moisturiser and sunscreen during the day.

Good product!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and gets the job done. The only downside is that it is a little bit greasy and yellowy, so I think it's better to apply it during the night-time skincare routine.

Good value for money

This is really great to see how you’re tolerating a high %retinal product. it’s really potent, i still need to build up tolerance, but i’m happy so far.

As s user of retinol serum i am delighted the Retinal emulsion has been introduced to my skincare range. I much prefer using this! No negative reactions to using and it is very pleasant.

So glad that there is finally a stronger Retinol solution. A few weeks in and my skin looks much more even...so yes, highly recommend!

Not meant for dry skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Couldn’t really get past the purge, skin was irritated and dry, with some additional skin care products the end result was nice, skin was clear, but it just doesn’t work for my skin.
