Too oily

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have used this product for over a week but I just can't seem to adjust to it, it's too oily and caused me to breakout at some areas in my face.

Love it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great alternative to harder retinol products. I didn't feel like I had to build up much tolerance, but skin did not have any adverse reaction to it. But for the 1st time users just try to lower dosage ones first just in case - everyone is different. I alternate this with a 1% retinol product every other night, so I get the benefits of both. I do get reactions and skin peeling to retinol, never to the retinoid - this one.

Amazing

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Wow what can I say after spending a fortune on expensive face creams over the years and not one working I’m blown away by the ordinary. I use this product in the evening before applying the Natural Factors then use the buffet + copper Peptides every morning and they have all combined to make my skin look amazing. I have my go to aging regimes now that include a home face laser a micro current device liquid collagen and these wonderful products at 41 my skin looks better than 5 years ago. It’s not an overnight fix but patience and consistency is key I just wish I’d started 5-10 years ago would have saved a lot of money on products the just don’t work. I will continue to use the ordinary products really do not need to look anywhere else these products are the best and actually work and so reasonably priced please just don’t stop making them.

Retinol 5% in Squalane

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’m a woman in my fifties and have used many high brand skin routines. I love this brand because it takes all the important ingredients and maximises their delivery. Have been using this particular product for five months and the difference it has made is amazing my skin is clear my pores have reduced as well as lines and wrinkles. First use a Retinoid with a lower concentration for two months before. This product is high strength and if your skin is not used to retinoids it probably will react

Nourishing Serum with Visible Results

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Love this! I am nearly 40, with three children (gulp, I know) so tired eyes and "lifelines" are regulars on my face. This serum helps to ease the effects of aging in a gentle nourishing way. It absorbs quickly and easily and has become an essential part of my nighttime beauty routine. I use it just before lathering my face with moisturiser and I wake up to a smoother, softer complexion. And I'm sure it's helped curb the ravages of my young brood, sleepless nights and endless runaround. It's always out of stock, so clearly this works for many. Highly recommend it!

This product leaves my skin feeling smooth and I can definitely see improvement in lines and deeper wrinkles. I am 66 yrs and am often complimented on my young-looking skin!
