Great value for price

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the second time I buy this product, which works great for its price and gets absorbed very easily. The smell is not great, hence the four stars.

Really nice retinol serum.

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

The retinol serum is really nice - it sinks into the skin really quickly and does not leave any greasy feel or film on the skin. I would have liked the percentage of retinol to be clear though. The packaging works okay - it tends to leak a little bit though into the lid.

Did nothing for me

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol has nice texture, but I did not see any results from it. I have used it for several months and tried other retinols after this one (and got results).

My classic

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

There's no other retinol serum that leaves my skin this soft after the night. I will always come back to it.

A must have

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using a 0.5% retinol formula before switching to this 2% serum. Was worried my skin will get irritated but so far it looks amazing. I noticed the I got random tiny pimples across face and neck after 1 week of using but it's normal for the skin to push out oils trapped in skin and it shows that it is working. Love this product and is better than the retinol from The Ordinary as it does not leave skin oily.

Big fan!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I think this is a great product to start your retinol journey with (follow the How to Use rules)!  I usually use a pea sized blob of it and mix it in with my moisturiser at night. Sometimes I also spot treat and I genuinley see a difference in my fine lines (crows feet and smile lines), they are more faded. Unbeatable price, a holy grail for me. Love it!
