Helps your skin glow

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using the retinols from the ordinary for over 3 years now. It is simple, effective but can be a bit drying if not used via the sandwich method. If your skin is not sensitive and can deal with acid exfoliation decently, I would highly recommend it.

A Gentle Introduction to Retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I found that the serum spread easily and absorbed quickly into my skin. It didn't leave any greasy or heavy residue, which is a definite plus. I would recommend starting with a small amount and gradually increasing the frequency of use to allow your skin to adjust to the retinol.

Best retinol for beginners

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

If you are a beginner with retinoids this serum is the best for you to start with. If you don’t care about texture (it’s an oil based serum) it’s a very good option to use.

Good

I started with it before getting into the 1% retinol and tbh I didn’t see that big of a difference, but it did helped a bit with the breakouts and making my skin look brighter and not tired

Great starter

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this together with the balance kit to start out my skincare routine. Did a lot of research on retinoids and use this about every other night. It’s a bit oily because of the squalane, so I don’t use a moisturiser after this. It doesn’t irritate my skin (so far). Haven’t been using this for long enough to see a lot of results, but I’m liking it so far.
