The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And joining the brand's stellar line up is the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml), a high-strength retinoid that smooths and firms the look of skin.
With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml) achieves healthier-looking skin by delivering a more direct delivery of vitamin A than retinol.
Working to improve the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, this superior emulsion also helps to refine skin texture, leaving it soft and smooth. Gaining its colour from the high concentration of retinal (which is naturally yellow), this must-have offsets the common side effects of retinoids with avenanthramide (a key ingredient found in oats) to reduce the feeling of skin discomfort and dryness. In short? We can't see ourselves without this bathroom-shelf staple...

I've been using retinal for years and I'm happy to have one cheap and good! Go easy if you are a beginner.

Good retinal
It's a nice affordable retinal. I applied it 3 times per week without irritation. I would like to have it in a bigger bottle

Exciting formulation
I was very excited to try this one as the only product with the same retinal concentration is a Medik8 one, which is much more expensive (comes in a larger size though). Even if you are an experienced retinoid user, I suggest starting with applying it once a week first: I have been using high concentration of retinal in my products for quite some time, but I still got a small irritation flare up and some dryness after the third use.

The best
Probably the best affordable retinol I've ever used. And it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Love it!

Gentle yet effective
What I love most is that it’s gentle yet effective—no irritation or redness, which I’ve experienced with other retinol products in the past. The packaging is also practical, ensuring the product stays fresh and potent.

Effective for acne
I always forget how good this serum is until I start using it again, it particularly helps a lot with acne, my acne heals and goes away much faster after using this. It also helps a lot with overall skin texture.

Cheap and cheerful
I have been using this product for a couple of months and have finished the tube, so I gave it a good go before reviewing it. The price is very reasonable compared to similar products on the market. The airtight tube with a pump ensures that the product does not oxidise. I get the right amount without any waste. In the beginning, I experienced a little bit of peeling (nothing major), and it looked like the skin was more radiant. After two months, however, it did not do anything, at least nothing that I could see. I will not repurchase,
