Affordable retinal

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Exciting formulation

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

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

Gentle yet effective

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

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,

Quick results

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

You can definitely see quicker results than with other retinol serums I have used in the past. It also cause a lot less irritation that what I initially though
