Not the best for sensitive skin

It gave me a slight rash after the first use, and my skin has been itching for a few days. After that I used it only once a week and it was much better.  I like it but not sure that I am going to repurchase it again.

Great beginner retinol

This is lovely for beginners. More advanced users can go up to a higher percentage. The oil based formula leaves skin feeling nourished.

Perfect to start with retinol

It's the perfect product to start using retinol on your face skin. It doesn't irritate the skin but of course you need sunscreen next morning.

Love it

Really like this serum… I have really dry skin and thought I would need to apply moisturiser after this t might, but I don’t… this is all I use and it keeps my skin hydrated all night… defo feel as if my skin is smoother too… only thing I will say is , be very careful with the weather heating up!… I had to stop using it for a few days with the sun being so strong as I found that my face and neck broke out in a sort of prickly heat rash…even with sunscreen on my face felt as if it was burning… but I just stopped using it for a few days and took a couple of antihistamines and all good again… defo great results and great price

Makes my skin so soft

Leaves my skin feeling very soft the next morning. This with the combination of niacinamide 10% also helped fade my acne scars.

Greater starter retinol

I actually got a sample of another retinol product that was 1% retinol and it was too much to start off with so I purchased this to ease into it. I use it every evening with no peeling. A few drops does the job, I am starting to notice a difference with continued use but results don’t appear overnight. I’m hoping to use this one till it’s empty and then move onto the 0.5%

First retinol, great results

Absolutely loved using this. No negative reaction or purging, just noticeably improved skin, and the squalene feels so nice and hydrating. I've nearly finished this bottle after about 3-4 months and will be graduating to 0.5% next.

It is working well. I use it with the Buffet and my skin feels so good. I wish I had bought this earlier.
