The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And joining the brand's stellar line up is the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml), a high-strength retinoid that smooths and firms the look of skin.
With a high 0.2% concentration of retinal, the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion (15ml) achieves healthier-looking skin by delivering a more direct delivery of vitamin A than retinol.
Working to improve the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles, this superior emulsion also helps to refine skin texture, leaving it soft and smooth. Gaining its colour from the high concentration of retinal (which is naturally yellow), this must-have offsets the common side effects of retinoids with avenanthramide (a key ingredient found in oats) to reduce the feeling of skin discomfort and dryness. In short? We can't see ourselves without this bathroom-shelf staple...

Great replacement for more expensive tret
I switched from my prescription tretinoin to this and I'm very pleased. It's really effective but doesn't give me the flaking that my old product did. Will rebuy this always, especially at this price.

Another great one!
I honestly just love this brand. I’ve been loyal to The Ordinary for over 9 years now and this product is just another hit. I think consistency is key and planning a skin regime and keeping to it! Use this on top of moisturiser and use the sandwich technique to avoid irritation.

Not too harsh
For a budget alternative this is a great starter. Haven’t seen huge improvements but also haven’t had a negative reaction which is a win. Will keep using, and may repurchase as much cheaper than any others.

Real difference
I use this every day and the texture of my skin has improved greatly. My skin actually breaks out if I stop using it so must be working! Wrinkles reduced and no irritation.

Affordable and STRONG
Strong retinal at a very good price. Really noticeable but can only use once a week as it’s very strong for me .

Botox in the bottle
From the first use my fine lines were visibly reduced, I’ve used other retinol products before and this is hands down the best and most affordable. Will 100% repurchase

Great retinol
As a retinol fan with dry/sensitive skin, I sometimes find it hard to find a product I love. But this is not super harsh on the face and have seen improvements. I would start light to begin with and then build up. It is now in my forever retinol rotation and such a good price point. Small bottle but have found one pump is more than enough for face and neck.
