My first Retinol and been loving it since then...

I have combination skin and hormonal breakouts which started when I hit the age of 30 two years ago and I happened to started using this as a preventive serum first for the wrinkles at the same time (although I don't have that many lines yet). After almost 2 years of using this product, it's been part of my PM skincare routine. Every morning when I wake up, my face looks glowing and it does help to prevent some lines here and there.

Good start for retinol

This is my first retinol product and I'd definitely recommend it. I use it every other night and it has a noticeable effect on my skin the next morning. No irritation at all so I'd look to increase the percentage for my next purchase, but I'd consider this a good first step into using retinol.

Good start for a first time retinol user.

I purchased this product as I was starting out with retinoids and my skin is on the dry/sensitive side. I have to say that after a 4-week use, the product did not dry my skin out/caused irritation or sensitivity. The squalane and jojoba seed oil mixture really helps with hydration during the night and leaves my skin dewy and hydrated when waking up in the morning. Overall, I highly recommend this product if you are starting out with retinoids.

Not sure?

First time using retinol so I started very low. Applied at night like advised and I have used it with HA&B5 and with Niacinimide & Zinc both of which formed a pile. I now use it on its own 2 times a week and not noticed much difference.

Haven’t seen a thing

This is also my first retinol, I used the whole bottle but didn’t notice any improvement. I have acne prone skin but no pigmentation and lines. Maybe I just don’t need this product

Helpful in acne/pimple control

This is my first time using Retinol and wanting to be on the safer side, I has bought this since it has the least concentration. I have been using for a month at an alternating interval with ascorbyl glucoside (from The Ordinary too). It does not produce any tingling sensation or any mild reaction to my skin. I found that this is really wonderful as a spot treatment. I have been recently breaking out due to hormonal imbalance and this product has been a holy grail for immediately zapping my pimples away or at least reduce the inflammation on the skin. I would definitely buy it again but with a slightly higher concentration just to see if there is a difference on my skin

Very satisfied

This is my first time experimenting with retinoids, and I did not know what to expect. It took me a while to understand how to use this product. A little goes a long way, you only need 2-3 drops for your entire face and the price tag makes this product extremely appealing. I wake up to the softest skin ever. My skin looks bright and luminous. I will be trying the 0.5% after finishing this bottle.

Great for spot-prone skin!

I have been using this product a couple of times a week for a while now to help with my spots, and it's been great. I haven't used retinol before and I do have sensitive skin, so I started on the low concentration, but had no adverse reaction and so will be moving on to the higher concentration soon. The Ordinary's range is so worthwhile.
