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 value
I've been using this for many weeks now and I'm quite impressed with the results. Will definitely be buying again. I've been using retinol for many years and felt it was time to find a stronger product and the Ordinary is an affordable option that's been well worth the money for me so far. I introduced this quite slowly and built up the frequency over time and have had no problems with irritation etc. My skin definitely looks more even and glowy the morning after I've used it.

Good value
The formulation is great, high strength, just beware that it does temporarily stain the skin yellow!

Try it out!
This is just as good as the much more expensive versions, and retinal is more effective than retinol while making your skin less sensitive, so highly recommend this
