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...

Best retinal yet
I have tried lots of different retinals at different price points and will stick with this one as it’s the highest strength I have seen on the market and has a nice texture. Only downside is that it has the strong yellow colour that they all have which stains your fingernails. It’s also a small bottle.

So far, so good
I have only been using this retinal for a month and a half but I am liking the results so far. Am taking it nice and slow in order to lessen the purge. Skin does look brighter and healthier. Looking forward to the result after a few months!

Gentle retinal
This is a great product and so far I haven’t had any irritation from using it. I’m only using it twice a week so far and making sure I use SPF and super hydrating moisturisers around it but I’ll step it up to three days a week shortly. I’ve noticed a few fine lines becoming less prominent since using it.

Use with caution
Make sure you sandwich this with moisturiser!!! Use cautiously as it has resulted in several dry patches of skin.

Great for the price
Great product for the price and not irritating to my sensitive skin. Will have to continue using for longer to see any visible benefits. I was originally using the Medik8 Crystal Retinal and whilst it was a nice product as you go up the strengths it has just become unaffordable for me, so hope I can replace it with this product from The Ordinary

Fantastic
This has really suited my skin which is sensitive. It’s looking brighter and it’s really helped reduce the texture from rosacea and I’m only a few weeks in. I hope it continues as well as it’s started. I’d definitely recommend
