I have used this retinol serum for about a year. It feels nice on my skin and leaves it feeling soft.

Amazing serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this serum for years and I can see the difference between my skin and my former classmates' skin. My skin looks smoother & more youthful.

Great for beginners

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol product is a good start, it’s not too intense and I’ve noticed that my skin is getting smoother and my skin tone is starting to even out after using this twice a week for 6 weeks.

Amazing

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Affordable, a little goes a long way, makes my skin feel hydrated and tight, my skin looks brighter and clearer, I suffered from acne for a long time, I used to have awful breakouts and I’d tried everything to combat them, I still get breakouts every now and then but nowhere near as bad as it was, but this is a miracle, my acne on my face is all gone! A pea size amount is definitely enough, anything more can be irritating so don’t use too much! Amazing though.

My first Retinol product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Slight tingle when appled but is comfortable and doesn't cause any sensitivity. My skin is generally quite sensitive so I was nervous for using Retinol but had no issues with it.

A great beginner retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has made a huge difference to my skin without being harsh. It hasn’t caused a purge but has left my skin looking better than ever.

Did nothing

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this to try clear my break outs and reduce fine lines but have seen no results after using for 2 months, won't be repurchasing. Wouldn't recommend for blemish prone skin, we probably need something stronger

Fast absorbing serum

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Super fast absorbing so able to put other products on top. Much easier to work with unlike the Ordinary retinol.
