Can’t recommend highly enough

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This has been the best thing I’ve bought in the last year. I am totally obsessed- having broken out in cystic hormonal acne over the last few months I’ve tried everything to calm it and nothing has worked until I tried this. I was scared to try retinol so did the sandwich method (moisturiser, retinol, moisturiser) at first but my skin wasn’t irritated at all and is now glowing every day with acne breakouts minimal. I recommend this to everyone I know as a starter retinol or for sensitive skin!

Good starting retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great retinol to start with especially for beginners as it’s a low percentage. Feels nice on the skin and works well with other skincare products , no pilling

No complaints

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Use this serum over any other as the price is good and the percentage of retinol is good as well. However just don’t know if it’s working as it’s such a long term product.
