Great

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

It’s a great retinol! Good quality with a super nice price tag. I used to use the ordinary 1% solution, which I liked but this one has a better texture that dries down quickly without leaving residues. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I feel it’s not strong enough for my skin, I’m used to stronger formulas, that’s why I purchased the super solutions 1% one, can’t wait to try that! That being said, if you’re just starting with retinol I feel like this one is a nice one for you. Recommend!

Nice!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bought this to try instead of The Ordinary retinols. It's good! Better consistency than the oil based Ordinary products but not quite as effective. Lasts ages as you only need a tiny amount. Will probably buy whichever has the lowest price tag on the day.

!! Worked wonders

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

A mild yet effective retinol, amazing for first time retinol users. I was scared it would break me out and I would purge but if you incorporate it slowly into your routine the side effects are hardly noticeable.  The smell is disgusting but thats the only bad thing about it, 5 stars because this has changed my skin entirely, I’d definitely be repurchasing.

Easy application, a good intro to retinol products!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This product is very smooth and nice to apply to the skin. I have been using this product over the past few months to acclimatise my skin to stronger strengths of retinol. I only experienced irritation if I used it too much for my skin type (e.g., every day). 4* because the the volume could be better for the price

Best value retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I think for it’s price range it is a very good retinol. The smell and colour is similiar to other products i have used. I couldn’t notice differences in the anti againg properties.
