Really noticed wrinkles are less deep

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I just cannot be without this. Purchased 4 tubes since discovering and always have one in stock. One pump for face and one for neck and I am really seeing the daily use of this making a huge difference to lines. More so to the under eyes. I was put off using concealer 6 months ago due to settling in lines… not anymore after being consistent in using this. All the ret benefits but none of the downsides. Cannot recommend this enough. Have got all the girls in my family onto this so cannot wait to hear what results they discover too

I like a lot

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I do really like this product, I have sensitive skin and have not found that this aggravates my skin. Have used it for a few weeks and my overall texture has definitely become more soft, will be re-purchasing

Amazing!

Genuinely incredible stuff! I was on the fence about this as I haven't always liked Ordinary products in the past but this is on a whole new level. Very gentle on the skin but makes such a big difference, my skin texture has massively improved, I have no more breakouts and people have commented on how glowy my skin is, all thanks to this Retinal. Just remember to wear your SPF during the day!

Great retinal

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I usually use retinol as part of my nighttime face routine, but have slowly introduced this retinal as it is effectively stronger than a retinol. It worked perfectly and do not be alarmed of the highly pigmented yellow colour; that’s normal. Just use a very small amount and the next morning you are firm yet supple, glowing but not oily. It is a wonderful product

Nice!

It’s ok, rubs in well, nice consistency, not seen any changes yet but not expecting any within a few days! No adverse effects either, which is good
