A staple

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Personally I've had issues with retinols in the past damaging my skin but this one doesn't at all - I use a moisturiser beforehand and then mix the retinol with hyaluronic acid and I've found my skin really reacts well to this if you've found some retinols sting or cause dryness.  Have purchased this a few times and will continue to!

Good, doesn’t sting

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have combination sensitive mature skin. This product suits me although it feels at first too oily, but eventually it absorbs well. It doesn’t sting like other retinol products I’ve tried but it makes my skin more sensitive for touch. After using it for a few months I don’t see any affect yet on my forehead wrinkles but will keep using it. Make sure to use sunscreen everyday when using such a product as the skin is more sensitive and more prone to sun burn.

Love it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’m fairly new to using retinol regularly. I have oily/combination skin so was a bit sceptical before trying this. However it absorbs nice and quickly, doesn’t sting like another brand has stung my skin before, and keeps my skin looking clear and lovely.

Worth it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I use this as part of my regular skincare routine and it's made a big difference to my skin, I'd be lost without it now. It does take a bit of a while for the oil to soak in though

Brilliant

Hardworking product with a gentle and luxurious feel. I’m impressed and absolutely delighted… It’s an 11 out of 10 for me.  At last ~ my love has come along and it’s in a pipette!

Very reasonably priced, and effective.

This has improved the quality of my skin, and my only slight criticism is that the squalene is oily.

Do NOT get near your eyes

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I do love this product for what it does for my skin but they aren't kidding when they say not to get it near your eyes! The problem is, if you apply at night as recommended it's difficult for it to not end up near your eyes via your pillow. I got multiple really stubborn eyelid cysts from applying it at night. I've started applying it in the morning from nose downwards only.

It's ok

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I find this feeling quite oily on my skin and doesn't seem to absorb that well on my skin unlike my The Inkey List one that seems to work better for me. Not raving about this and may find a different retinol.

Amazing

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Can rave about the disciple products I've bought enough. Suffered with acne for over 20 years had a flare up recently and finding as I'm getting older that it takes longer to clear and heal. Thought I'd try a few disciple products and results are fab. Wish I could post my before and after pictures to show the results
