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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Retinal v retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Much better than retinol and no need to use more than twice a week.

I keep repurchasing it....

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Just great for a smooth and blemish free skin. Careful about the quantity because, even if it is gentler than retinol, retinal can also be a bit drying.

Great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great product at a really good price. I hope The Ordinary do a supersized retinal, but for the moment it’s just 15ml

Instead of the more aggressive retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I heard at the beginning of 2023 for the first time of the potential benefits of retinal on retinol, and I must say I am enjoying the results on my skin since The Ordinary put retinal on the market. Highly recommended!
