this is love

For a starter with retinol, it is important to start with a lower percentage. But building within the ordinary line is very great. Love the formula, love the price. It is just a solid good product. One disadvantage is that some brands do go higher in percentage, with makes my want to try them. Otherwise this would be one for life.

I like it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Last year in autumn I tried 0.5% retinol from the Ordinary. This year I tried 1%. You need to be very careful and add it to your daily care starting from 1-2 per week and ending with once per 2 days. Also, I add more hydration cause my skin has dry type. This serum makes my face look good. I see myself without makeup in a mirror and think that I'm beautiful.

Excellent retinol serum.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I am 77 years old and have fine line and wrinkles!  My go to treatment is retinol.  I have used several different makes in recent years but find this one best.  The squalane also acts to hydrate my skin.  The two together work very well feeding my skin and reducing wrinkles. I use this at night following cleansing and I top off with another moisturiser.

Excellent retinol product and affordable as well.Initial skin irritation does happen when starting to use but the squalane does help with the long-term drying effects.

Can’t live without it !

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve used a few products with retinol but always seem to come back to this one - I don’t use it everyday because I have sensitive skin, but twice a week does it for me. It has improved my texture and overall acne scarring!!! I absolutely cannot live without it !!! Try it

Good product, bad using experience.

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I used the Inkeylist retinol before this one, but yeez. Although my skin loves it, the experience drives me crazy! I've a combination skin, and it feels just sitting on top of my skin, and I'm gonna be a greasy mess from this serum. I use retinol 2-3 times a week. I'm going to use it up, and never buy again.

Great for the price!

I love the effect retinol has on my skin and really like this being mixed with the squalane. You do have to persevere with this, I used it every other day to start and developed some dry patches and had a breakout of cystic spots, this lasted about 10 days then I really started to see the benefits of this and my skin now has such a glow. I use this just at night mixed in with my heavy night moisturiser to keep my skin hydrated!
