Good starting retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a nice retinol in that it caused zero irritation and I was able to use it everyday without any issues, after my toner and before my moisturiser. It is very affordable as well, but due to its strength I did not notice much results other than slight improvement in my skin texture to less bumpy. I don't have wrinkles, but I would think for wrinkles and acne, a stronger formula would be better. Overall a good affordable mild retinol

I love love this. My skin has never been better after using this serum. I don't have fine lines but my skin texture is improved and my acne scars are gone. My skin has never been clearer. It has been out of stock for a long time so i bought two now just im case. Amazing product.

Love it.

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been looking for something like this for a long time. It been a month and I'm starting to see results, so I'm very pleased. The only thing that bothers me is the cap of the bottle, its not practical at all when you are applying your product. I wish it had a more practical opening and closing cap to be less complicated to apply. But the product is amaizing.

This is an AMAZING PRODUCT

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

The serum is so light, it really made a difference after using it for 3 weeks. My dark spots, wrinkles had instantly lightened making me look younger and fresh. Will be repurchasing it as it is a staple in my skin routine.

Good product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It's a little early to give a full review of this product but so far so good. It goes on easily and is absorbed quickly. My skin feels very soft since I have been using it and I think it looks better too. I haven't suffered any irritation. I've used Retinol in the past and so was confident that this would be a good product. Really good price, will buy more from this range.

Honestly, LOVE! Like what a little gem. Apply at night and wake up and I low-key look 19 years younger (that would make me 6, but still). Really recommend - the price is a bonus.

Not keen on smell

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Haven't used it enough to comment on making a difference on my skin as easing myself in gently but think smell us off putting smells like curry

Well recommended!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I recently purchased this along with a couple of other Inkney products, and I have been thrilled with the results of my skin. I use this once a day in the evening. Skin appears soft, even tone, my mild rosacea has even reduced. I also bought the vitamin c serum that I apply in the mornings and the collagen booster I use both mornings and evening. Great prices and products!
