The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And joining the brand's stellar line up is the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml), a high-strength retinoid that smooths and firms the look of skin.
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...

Budget retinoid that delivers
The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion has really impressed me—especially considering the price. I use it only around my eyes since I’m on a prescription-strength retinoid for the rest of my face and neck, and it performs exceptionally well in that role. As a long-term retinoid user, I can confidently say this is one of the best over-the-counter options available. It delivers visible results without causing irritation, dryness, or flakiness for me, which is rare for a product this potent. It proves that you don’t need to spend on high-end formulas to get real, effective results.

Cheap retinal
I’ve finished this product and it was good for the price but definitely not even close to the Medik8 retinal. This one is more liquid, not as strong. But if you’re a beginner I would recommend to see if retinal is for you.

Gentle Yet Effective
I started using the The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion as my very first retinoid, and I was honestly pretty apprehensive about introducing it into my routine. I had heard so many stories about irritation and purging that I wasn’t sure how my skin would react. To my surprise (and relief!), I didn’t experience any major purging or irritation. My skin adjusted really well, and over time I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my overall texture. It feels smoother and looks more refined without feeling compromised. On top of that, the price point is a huge advantage for such an effective formula. I’m really happy with my experience and will gladly continue using it!

Third repurchase
I really like this product. It doesn't stay on the skin, you only need to use a small amount, and with regular use, you can see improvements in wrinkles.
