Brilliant for the price

If you want an entry level retinoid without the price tag, go for the Ordinary. This is low irritation. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my skin tone and fine lines. It takes a while to sink in but can’t fault it for the price.

Great retinol oil

Great price point I use on my body to improve texture and dry patches in conjunction with the lactic acid

Good serum

I bought this to mix in with my body moisturisers as I am beginning to notice wrinkles around my chest, stomach and thighs. I wanted a retinol product without irritation, and this absolutely does the trick. The only downside is that it is rather oily. I prefer the emulsion version.

A staple

Personally I've had issues with retinols in the past damaging my skin but this one doesn't at all - I use a moisturiser beforehand and then mix the retinol with hyaluronic acid and I've found my skin really reacts well to this if you've found some retinols sting or cause dryness.  Have purchased this a few times and will continue to!

Good, doesn’t sting

I have combination sensitive mature skin. This product suits me although it feels at first too oily, but eventually it absorbs well. It doesn’t sting like other retinol products I’ve tried but it makes my skin more sensitive for touch. After using it for a few months I don’t see any affect yet on my forehead wrinkles but will keep using it. Make sure to use sunscreen everyday when using such a product as the skin is more sensitive and more prone to sun burn.

Love it

I’m fairly new to using retinol regularly. I have oily/combination skin so was a bit sceptical before trying this. However it absorbs nice and quickly, doesn’t sting like another brand has stung my skin before, and keeps my skin looking clear and lovely.

Worth it

I use this as part of my regular skincare routine and it's made a big difference to my skin, I'd be lost without it now. It does take a bit of a while for the oil to soak in though

Brilliant

Hardworking product with a gentle and luxurious feel. I’m impressed and absolutely delighted… It’s an 11 out of 10 for me.  At last ~ my love has come along and it’s in a pipette!

Very reasonably priced, and effective.

This has improved the quality of my skin, and my only slight criticism is that the squalene is oily.
