Does what it says on the tin!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

A nice light retinol, that hasn't made me break-out or caused sore skin. It's good as a base, to build stronger retinols on top of - so I use just as a daily overnight retinol under my moisturiser. Can't fault - does the job :)

Affordable

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a nice affordable version of retinol, it did seem to help my skin feel brighter eventually however it did seem to cause me to breakout a bit in blemishes. I wanted to try this product as it was cheaper than one I was already using, however I have ended up switching back to my original one as my skin just didn't seem to get on with this one.
