Brighter skin

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Noticeably brighter skin within a week, not noticed a reduction in fine lines as much but my skin is glowing.

Perfect for my sensitive skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

After two weeks of use I am so happy with how refreshed my skin is! My skin is dry and sensitive, I experienced minimal flaking & no adverse reactions, after a few applications every other night I felt ready to use this every night. I use this in combination with a Squalane cleanser, PHA toner, basic moisturiser & Squalane serum.

Excellent

A very good retinol. You can see the results.Also a very pleasant texture that it isn't heavy on the skin. Much better that retinol in squalane oil.

Great.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Just bought my second lot of this, my first purchase lasted me 6 months of nightly use which is incredible value for the price. It smells a little odd but goes on smoothly and absorbs nicely, with no oily residue like I was getting with The Ordinary. I've had no irritation and my skin looks great.

Does not work for me

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

It's a lovely texture, but compared to other retinols I really felt this had no effect on my skin whatsoever other than mild hydration.

Saw results within 3 uses

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this on my face before applying mineral sunscreen. I'm impressed - it makes my pimples heal faster, reduces the speed of hyperpigmentation which I'm prone too, has a slow but noticeable reduction on existing lines, and plays well with every product I've applied alongside it. I was confused as to why it tingles sometimes but now suspect its the sodium ascorbate which is a form of Vitamin C. I'm delighted this is fragrance free and essential oils free otherwise I'd never have bought it.

Gave me pimples

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I got this from the goodie bag and at first, I thought it was great. No irritation and smooth feel when applied. So I ordered another tube for myself, and now I'm regretting it because, after 5 nights of continued use, it is giving me pimples. Although I occasionally suffer from clogged pores, they rarely break out into pimples so I was surprised to have found that after the initial positive results I got, the product started giving me pimples 3-4 days in. I changed nothing in my routine. I don't know what it is in the product that's causing this, but in any case, this product is not for me...
