Good enough

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

Not a strong product so won't cause an irritation when you use according to the directions. Assuming you follow that should last you a while. Affordable introduction to using retinol. I also use on my hands too.

good serum

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This serum is really good. It serves to soften expression lines, which is why it is a serum for older people who already have more expression lines. This serum hydrates and at the same time smoothes lines, giving the skin an air of rejuvenation.

Good for a first time retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

If you are trying retinol for the first time this is a good start . I usually do the double Moisture technique to slowly ease into it . But I’m very happy with the purchase and my skin did not react bad

Ok Product.

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

The first thing I noticed was the chemical smell which isn’t very pleasant. The consistency makes it easy to apply but I’m still waiting noticeable results. However only half the tube was filled. I know The Inkey List is supposed to have a lower price point but the tube certainly doesn’t hold 30ml!

Good for combo skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've got a very sensitive skin, and this one is working for me so far. The texture is not oily which I prefer. The scent is a bit off putting but I got used to it
