Great entry point

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I bought this for my boyfriend as an entry point to anti-age skincare. he found the light cream texture really easy to apply and not too heavy on the skin. After several weeks of regular use, his skin is definitely more even, with less visible pores and reduced breakouts. A winner!

I have been using this for a month now and noticed such a difference in my skin. It’s so much brighter and my under eye lines have practically gone! Have already repurchased.

Great

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s a great retinol! Good quality with a super nice price tag. I used to use the ordinary 1% solution, which I liked but this one has a better texture that dries down quickly without leaving residues. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I feel it’s not strong enough for my skin, I’m used to stronger formulas, that’s why I purchased the super solutions 1% one, can’t wait to try that! That being said, if you’re just starting with retinol I feel like this one is a nice one for you. Recommend!

Nice!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this to try instead of The Ordinary retinols. It's good! Better consistency than the oil based Ordinary products but not quite as effective. Lasts ages as you only need a tiny amount. Will probably buy whichever has the lowest price tag on the day.
