Great Step-up

5

I moved from the Versed 0.25% gentle retinol starter onto this after a year of using the versed. It was a great and easy transition for my very sensitive, combination skin. I use once every three days alongside my Ordinary squalene cleansers and Thank You Farmer sensitive sunscreen. Great and simple combo. If you have sensitive skin this is a great step up. Less is always more. I wish there was a smaller size of bottle though.

Good!

Good price, gentle formula, no irritation occurred. A bit oily but gets the job done if you don't mind. Don't forget the SPF!

Visible difference already

I bought this after reading the reviews as I wanted to up my skincare game. I’ve used the full bottle now and I feel like I can see a difference. It feels so luxurious to apply and makes your skin feel great immediately. I will 100% repurchase.

Good introduction to retinol

If you've never tried a retinoid before, this is a great beginner product, this is the first retinoid I used, its one of the weaker types, so its not a retinal/retinaldehyde and its much weaker than prescription, plus its in Squalane so you shouldn't really react to it, easy to build up a tolerance. I do find it feels a little greasy, because it's an oil, some people might like that, but I put it under moisturiser. The only thing is the dropper does mean it exposes it to oxidisation, which is fine for this kind of retinol, but I prefer something that seals better. Good starter product.

Great

I love that The Ordinary offers different strengths retinols so you can start gentle, if you’re at the beginning of your retinol journey. I started with the lowest and now I’m using the 1% and absolutely love it.  Apply it in the evening and wake up with a glass like skin. Great buy!

Best drugstore retinol

This is my absolute favorite retinol available in the market. Best because of its price too.
