Amazing

Really good. My skin feels so smooth

Best

Hands down my favorite and affordable retinol out there. My skin is sensitive but I’ve had no averse reactions.

Better than retinol

Find this more gentle on my skin than the Ordinary’s retinol but still gives good results. 4 stars as it’s pretty greasy on application and takes a while to absorb.

The ordinary

Was pleasantly surprised by this. A bit greasy but that fades after a while. A nice starter but other options out there.

Good but a bit greasy

A good percentage of retinoid for the price, I still swear by the Ordinary for affordability and no-nonsense genuine results. I find the squalane solution gives this serum a bit of a greasy texture for my already oily skin, but if using at night (as you should) then that shouldn't be an issue. It's also better for if you have sensitive skin or skin that's prone to drying out, as it helps counteract the drying/peeling effect that retinol can have. I prefer a blend of active ingredients so I don't have to layer (e.g. with niacinamide and peptides) but if you're happy to layer or just want your retinol simple and easy then this is the product for you.

On repeat

I buy this on repeat and use it as part of my nighttime routine in between a stronger retinal. It really works as well as more expensive vitamin A products I have tried.
