Didn't agree with my skin

I have been using Medik8 Crystal Retinals for over two years, but I decided to try The Ordinary Retinal since it’s much more affordable. I have combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, and I tend to break out from harsh ingredients and actives. I transitioned directly from Medik8 10 to this stronger formula, which was quite a jump. I applied it to my entire face and neck right away, but I probably should have tested it on a small area first, as it unfortunately caused breakouts for me. I think it’s just too strong for my skin type, so I’ll be returning to Medik8 and working my way up to their 20. However I’m glad I tried it since it’s so much cheaper; it’s definitely worth seeing if your skin can tolerate it! I do also prefer the texture of the Medik8 one, this one is more runny. But again, fraction of the price...

A much gentler retinol

The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is an excellent choice for anyone looking to start their journey with retinoids. Its gentle formulation, effective results, and accessible price make it a fantastic addition to your skincare lineup. If you’re aiming for smoother, more youthful-looking skin, this emulsion is definitely worth trying.

Best retinal yet

I have tried lots of different retinals at different price points and will stick with this one as it’s the highest strength I have seen on the market and has a nice texture. Only downside is that it has the strong yellow colour that they all have which stains your fingernails. It’s also a small bottle.

So far, so good

I have only been using this retinal for a month and a half but I am liking the results so far. Am taking it nice and slow in order to lessen the purge. Skin does look brighter and healthier. Looking forward to the result after a few months!

Gentle retinal

This is a great product and so far I haven’t had any irritation from using it. I’m only using it twice a week so far and making sure I use SPF and super hydrating moisturisers around it but I’ll step it up to three days a week shortly. I’ve noticed a few fine lines becoming less prominent since using it.
