I like it

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Just started to try using 3 times a week so far I like it I do add a bit of moisturiser on top but feel very comfortable next day not dry and for the price I’m impressed

Doesn't do anything for me

1 stars out of a maximum of 5

Doesn't do anything for me.. My skin just doesn't want to soak it in, because it's so extremely oily. Then I go to sleep and it all goes everywhere except into my skin. There are much better retinols out there that have saved my extremely acne-prone skin.

Great retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I'm a big fan of retinols now that I'm 40 (yikes). My skin is very dry but is used to retinol and this one isn't drying. In the evening after cleansing I apply this retinol, then The Ordinary's Buffet and then a moisturizing mask. Cruelty free and highly recommended.

Glowing skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I love this product and have been using it for years. It really improved the quality and smoothness of my skin. The texture is light and non greasy, it absorbs well into the skin. I use this product at night in combination with the L-ascorbic acid (also from the ordinary) and this combination works for me. Over the years my skin tone has become more even and my skin is more plump and glowing.

Good product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I’ve been using it for years. Cheap, strong and effective. Maybe not for retinol beginners.

Great product!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have been using this every night for the last 6 weeks and I'm only half way through the bottle. Perseverance is key for the first month or so as your skin will be sore and peel however, I now have baby soft skin that has never been in such good condition before! I have always suffered with dry patches but they are gone and blemishes and break outs seem to clear up quicker. I won't be without this product now!

Brill product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

So pleased with this product. I have been using retinol for years and paid a lot more for it too. Great to pay such a reasonable price for something that works for me. Your skin will peel and appear red at first but persevere and your skin will settle down eventually and you will see results. Also be aware that you must keep out of the sun when using retinol.

Nothing Special

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

It's OK but I don't really like that terrible greasy feeling when I apply it on my face and afterwards, I have been using it for a month or so but I haven't noticed any improvement. In fact, I have noticed nothing. So I'll stick tom the more expensive after finishing this product.
