A must have skin care staple

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Really love this! I didn’t experience any irritation or inflammation, and my skin is so smooth. It works really well within my skin care regime (I use Ole Henriksen) and doesn’t interfere with how any of these products work. A little does go along way, but I use mine every night so it’ll be interesting to see how long it takes before I need to replace.

Good but haven't noticed huge results

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was my first time using any sort of retinol. I'm in my early 20's and have combination leaning oily skin. I was hoping this could combat any early stages of ageing, as well as help with skin clarity and evenness. I've been using it every other day, in the PM, for around four months now. I haven't seen any big changes or results, but maybe I need something stronger? At least I haven't noticed any irritation at all. The product also feels very nice on the skin and plays well into the rest of my routine. I'll keep using it for now, but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase.

Great Product

On my 3rd bottle. Great product! Skin looks smoother and has really helped with hyperpigmentation. Definitely worth a try.

Repurchased

I have a huge wrinkle between my eyebrows from squinting (bad eyes) and it helped with evening my skin out. It also made my skin have a smoother texture since I have acne-prone skin.

Beautiful product

On my second bottle, it's such a wonderful product. My skin looked better after first use and it helped me a lot with acne scars and hyperpigmentation :)

A really good first retinol!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have never used retinol before so was slightly nervous about irritation etc but saw this reviewed well and I really like it. It is nice and gentle whilst also doing the job! I have been using it for about 3 weeks now using every 2/3 days and have noticed my acne scars starting to fade already and my skin feels really smooth. Had a tiny bit of purging around my chin when I started using but it is starting to calm down already. Will keep using and am expecting it to keep doing good things!

Great for the price

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a lovely product. I've been using 5 nights a week consistently for about a month and I can see a difference already with fine lines and pore size. It didn't give me any sensitivity, redness etc like other retinol products.
