Good product but itchy at first 2-3 usage
Looks like it gives you more than usual retinol but I felt like my skin wasn't feeling good with it at first. And it also may be a little itchy if combined with other products

This is the best retinol for dry skin because of the squalane in it.

Not for everyone
If your skin is not good with squalane this product is not for you. My skin cannot absorb it and leaves an oily residue. But I gave it to my mum and she loved it, her skin looks tighter, and wrinkles aren't as visible as they were before.

Totally satisfied
I can not remember when I purchased this serum, but definitely a long time ago. And I used only one third of it. It really lasts incredibly long. I use it 3 times a week before sleep (2-3 drops) and since it is oily (squalane), I think it is very appropriate for winter time. It makes my skin very soft and younger. For sure great value for money.

Good!
I have used the retinol for about a month and can see that my skin does feel a bit smoother and cleaner. I have breakouts from time to time, and I feel that this retinol helps with them too. The formula is very rich/oily so does not dry out the skin as some other products might do. I wouldn't say it gives you a massive skin change, but as an everyday product is quite okay.

Did nothing for me
This one did nothing for me and I hate how greasy it is. Also didn’t see any changes on my face while using it regularly.Â

It works!
Love this. I’ve used a couple of their retro oil products and have built my way up to 2%. Nothing bad to say about this product and it’s definitely improved my skin. And for the price - BUY IT NOW :)

Not my jam
I have combination skin and had never used a retinol product before. The consistency of this was a little greasy but it does soak in and leaves my skin feeling hydrated immediately after application. HOWEVER, I noticed that I was breaking out all of a sudden and couldn't figure why. After skipping this product from my nightly routine for just 3 days I am again blemish-free, and I don't think I will be happy to continue using it as I also didn't notice any of the positive effects I was expecting from a retinol product. I would switch to the emulsion but I would like to go up in retinol strength and The Ordinary do not do a higher strength in the emulsion yet.

Saving Grace
This product is absolutely amazing. At first I was sceptical about using an oil since I have oily skin, however, the solution worked perfectly with my skin. It mainly helped to improve skin texture and dry patches. Would definitely recommend!
