Nice Serum

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Very good value for money and gentle on my skin. I’ve only just started using it but it hasn’t triggered any reactions so far.

The ordinary Retinol 0.5%

Good retinol serum for beginners. Changes take some time to see, but worth it considering the price.

Non drying

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Great for beginners. Mixed with squalane so you aren’t left with dried out skin after use. Does the job but I could have gone for a higher percentage.

Great deal

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

For the ordinary to put out retinol products for such an affordable price is great and it definetely does not affect the quality. Great for fine lines.

Nice

Very hydrating and nice feel to the Serum. In my early twenties so not sure if it helps with any lines. Not harsh on the skin either.

Feels great and is pretty hydrating. Can't say whether it helps with lines as I'm still in my early twenties.
