not good

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

I can’t make friends with this company, I didn’t like the product, it’s too oily, too aggressive, and, to be honest, I don’t see the result at all

Great but not my favourite

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I usually use Retinol Fix Booster Extreme however I like a lot of other of the Ordinary products. This one leaves my skin softer and brighter than other products but it's a little harsher and pills easily if you apply too soon after.

The ordinary retinol in squalane

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product is amazing. It provides hydration and instant brightening.  Helps smooth wrinkles and works on fading dark spots from previous breakouts.

Great

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

One of the best retinoids I ever tried and definitely the best squalane-based one. Surprisingly, it's also the cheapest out of all the oil-based retinoid products I tried, so 5 stars for that. It's really good for dry skin, but also behaves pretty well on my combination-oily skin, doesn't cause breakouts and is great for protecting or restoring the barrier.

Little irritation

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Seems to be working well so far. I've noticed some dryness and my skin flaking in the areas km prone to dryness, however my skin hasn't been dry and sore like the usual beginning stages of using retinol. Too soon to tell if there's any impact on my fine lines or skin texture.
