Affordable retinoid

The Ordinary's Retinol Serum 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle starting point for retinol newcomers. Noticed some skin texture improvement overtime. The formulation is not comparable to other high-end retinoids, but it's affordable and effective.

Doubles as an Oil

Lovely formula, sits nicely on my skin and I didnt realise it also doubles as a lovely night time oil. My skin struggles to tolerate retinol so this is a nice starter and I will hopefully be able to titrate up so stronger strengths.

Tackles stubborn dry spots

I use this and then a heavy moisturiser to help my dry elbows

Great for beginners of retinol

Super gentle, it's great for beginners on retinol. The only thing is it's unclear how much you're meant to apply to face and neck... I got through it quite fast because it's a dropper texture, and I'm sure sometimes I used more than I was supposed to. I've since moved on to other products which I believe have had better results.

Great product.

One of my favourite night serums as I wake up with soft skin. Also helps with acne scarring.

Haven’t noticed a difference

Maybe I need to be more patient and work my way up the % of retinol. I’m going to continue using as it doesn’t irritate my skin just not seeing any results after using for a while.

Great retinol intro

I’ve been nervous about using retinol as it’s quite strong and when I tried it previously with another brand I got flaky skin. But this makes your skin feel soft and looks smoother. I love it.

Good for price

Good product for the price but you have to leave this item in the fridge so often forgot to apply!

Love all products of The Ordinary. I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any issues as of yet. Would recommend the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution for event ready skin. Clean and modern packaging.

Excellent price-point and entry to affordable skincare. I've used a range of products from Hylauronic Acid, Niacinamide, Buffet, Salicylic Mask - they all work well and are great products to have on the go if you're travelling.
