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...

So far so good.
Only been using this 1-2 times a week for the last 2 weeks so not seen a different just yet. It’s smooth to apply and tends to sink into the skin quite quickly. Definitely helps with breakouts for me, especially hormonal ones.

No issues so far
Affordable product. Even though 15ml doesn't seem alot its not too be used daily just 1-2 a week. So I expect it to last. No reactions so far.

Have been waiting for an affordable 2% retinal forever, finally!!
At the moment I am still yet to see results from this but I can genuinely say that I am over the moon with the fact that an affordable retinal of strength 0.22% has been released in stores which is easy to get hold of. The texture is smooth and it hasn't seemed to irritate my skin thus far. I have been using 0.1% retinal for almost 2 years now so I was definitely looking for an upgrade without jumping straight to prescription strength. This looks promising!! Hoping for better results than the 0.1%!!!
