A staple

I went through so many of these little bottles; retinal works great on my skin, the concentration might be a bit intense at first, but on the long run the results are amazing.

Beats a lot of other very expensive retinal products! I love it, does everything what it should and has nice thin non oily texture, which is nice to use in combination with other products in the routine.

Nice

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I switched to this from the medik8 retinal 20 so not sure it packs the same punch. The price is excellent though so probably worth a few months of trial. The consistency is lovely, it's a yellow cream (not too fluid which is great) and one pump is plenty.
