The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And joining the brand's stellar line up is the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml), a high-strength retinoid that smooths and firms the look of skin.
With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml) achieves healthier-looking skin by delivering a more direct delivery of vitamin A than retinol.
Working to improve the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, this superior emulsion also helps to refine skin texture, leaving it soft and smooth. Gaining its colour from the high concentration of retinal (which is naturally yellow), this must-have offsets the common side effects of retinoids with avenanthramide (a key ingredient found in oats) to reduce the feeling of skin discomfort and dryness. In short? We can't see ourselves without this bathroom-shelf staple...

Only one for me
Despite its concentration level this gives me no issues on my sensitive skin. I’ve struggled with retinols before as they always made my skin raw. But no issues with this.

Beautiful Quality
A beautiful quality retinal serum for the price. Lovely texture and absorbs really well. Very pleased for my mature skin.

Excellent
I have used many different types of retinoids, prescription tretinoin, otc retinoids, but this product suits me the best. A tiny tube (15mls) but it lasts beyond a month. It is bright yellow, no scent, spreads easily across face and neck, no dragging, and does not stain my skin. I have found that as I have got older, my skin is less tolerant of strong actives, this has caused no reaction but is effectively and noticeably tackling areas of hyperpigmentation and greatly evening out my skin tone. Already repurchased

Ordinary retinal
A high quality retinal product that doesn’t cost $$$. The quantity is very small though, but one pump is enough for the face and neck.

Incredible value for money!
This retinal serum is wonderful. It has a lovely texture that spreads really well across the skin without having to use too much product. It's never caused any irritation or dryness on my skin. I can comfortably use it every other day without any issues. For the price this serum is unbeatable. You get such fantastic results over time. This is definitely my new favourite high strength retinal.

Amazing.
I have tried many different retinals at all different price points and this may be the best one. It works just as well as the high end products and really helps with keeping the skin clear.

Game changer
I’ve used the Medik8 retinal for a few years now, but thought I’d try this with the price difference. I haven’t noticed any difference between the products results and this is almost a tenth of the price of the medik8 equivalent

Lovely affordable retinal
It's hard to find an effective yet affordable retinAL product but this is a great option especially for beginners. The bottle is small but it will last you a month or so- I assume because retinoids have a short shelf life. But only one pump will do the whole face so it's not too bad.
