Best retinal yet

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

A great price for a great product

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

As advised I am building up the use of this gradually, but I like the way it feels, the pump dispenses the right amount and it is a great price point.
