Trusted staple of my skincare routine

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Excellent retinol product and affordable as well.Initial skin irritation does happen when starting to use but the squalane does help with the long-term drying effects.

Can’t live without it !

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve used a few products with retinol but always seem to come back to this one - I don’t use it everyday because I have sensitive skin, but twice a week does it for me. It has improved my texture and overall acne scarring!!! I absolutely cannot live without it !!! Try it

Good product, bad using experience.

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used the Inkeylist retinol before this one, but yeez. Although my skin loves it, the experience drives me crazy! I've a combination skin, and it feels just sitting on top of my skin, and I'm gonna be a greasy mess from this serum. I use retinol 2-3 times a week. I'm going to use it up, and never buy again.

Great for the price!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love the effect retinol has on my skin and really like this being mixed with the squalane. You do have to persevere with this, I used it every other day to start and developed some dry patches and had a breakout of cystic spots, this lasted about 10 days then I really started to see the benefits of this and my skin now has such a glow. I use this just at night mixed in with my heavy night moisturiser to keep my skin hydrated!

Doesn't do anything for me

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

Doesn't do anything for me.. My skin just doesn't want to soak it in, because it's so extremely oily. Then I go to sleep and it all goes everywhere except into my skin. There are much better retinols out there that have saved my extremely acne-prone skin.

Great retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm a big fan of retinols now that I'm 40 (yikes). My skin is very dry but is used to retinol and this one isn't drying. In the evening after cleansing I apply this retinol, then The Ordinary's Buffet and then a moisturizing mask. Cruelty free and highly recommended.

Glowing skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product and have been using it for years. It really improved the quality and smoothness of my skin. The texture is light and non greasy, it absorbs well into the skin. I use this product at night in combination with the L-ascorbic acid (also from the ordinary) and this combination works for me. Over the years my skin tone has become more even and my skin is more plump and glowing.

Good product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using it for years. Cheap, strong and effective. Maybe not for retinol beginners.
