Amazing product for the price!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

For me this is a great & affordable retinol; it didn’t dry out my skin or feel irritating, and I noticed my skin looking clearer once I’d built up my tolerance to use it consistently! Love :)

Lightweight Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I find when introducing a new Retinol to my routine, it can leave my skin aggravated. Pleased to say this product didn't do that, instead leaving my skin soft and smooth. Excited to continue using and seeing the results!

Great for beginners/intermediate retinol users

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I started with the 0.2% retinol in squalene but my skin has gradually adapted and I haven't seen much difference recently so thought it was time to increase the strength and I love this formula! It sinks into the skin so quickly and leaves my skin soft and smooth by morning!

Not my favourite

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

So faffy with having to refrigerate it. Can say it helped my skin but was too much of a hassle and I just didn’t enjoy using it in general.

A staple!

My favourite retinol, I’ve tried a few different retinols from the ordinary and other brands but always go back to this one! Works well on my sensitive and oily skin
