Love this! Start slow to incorporate into your routine but definitely improves texture and appearance of pores

This is a great product if you are looking to dip your toe into the world of retinoids. Fantastic silky texture and it does not pill on the skin.

Holly grail

I've been using for some take and I can see how my skin texture has been improved drastically. The price point for such an effective product is an added bonus.

Value for money

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Definitely worth the price for me, I'm now on my second bottle and will probably buy again as I'm happy it does the job of a more expensive product. My skin is definitely clearer and smoother since using this.

Good retinoid

I have no complaints about this product, its pricing or effectiveness. My only gripe is having to keep it in the fridge, not very convenient!
