Would recommend

I wanted to try retinol to see what all the hype was about. It has helped to reduce the fine lines and the appearance of my skin is much improved on my face. However, my neck has a number of dry patches since I started using this product which has never happened before so I’ve reduced the frequency of application to see if this improves.

Stick with it - the results are worth it!

Great product. Haven't used retinoids in over 20 years but am loving the results.... after the going through the dreaded skin purge. Love the price, love the addition of squalane, and love the smooth, fresh results.

Great product for the price

This was my first experience using retinol and I found this product to be a great introduction to it. I used it every night as part of my skin care routine and had no adverse reactions. I used the bottle up quite quickly but I did feel my skin looked more plump and vibrant. I’ve not been able to repurchase due to it being sold out so tried to pixi retinol tonic and I definitely don’t have the same glow. It took about 2-3 weeks to see any improvements but I’m very happy. Will definitely repurchase!

It's okay

I think this is very nice and mild if you have just started to use a retinol. I personally have not experienced any side effects and haven't also noticed any real improvements. I have increased my use to 4 times a week and will try to further increase to daily with a 1 day a week rest. I will use the product to the end and possibly move to a stronger retinol before really investing my money in something more expensive.

Retinol is the best for anti ageing

Retinol is retinol. I went straight to 0.5% as been using a fairly weak retinol for some time. And it's been very kind to the skin so far and I've had the desired effect. I have been using above moisturiser though.

A must have!

After one use my skin looks noticeably clearer, so much so that I haven't felt the need to use makeup today! Experienced no discomfort from the retinol either! Really impressed with this product! Highly recommend!

LOVE IT!

When I bought this I was in two minds whether it was going to work or not. So far I am impressed, with one application I have seen a change in my pigmentation. I woke up really happy this morning as usually products don’t seem to work usually. But this is a must!

Excellent value for money.

I am normally one to trust the effect and quality of a product of its more expensive but having heard so many people recommend this, I wanted to try it out. I think it is brilliant- texture is good and easy to apply. The smell is pretty neutral. Hasn’t aggravated my skin in any way (I know some retinol does this) and my dark acne scars have definitely started to fade a little. Have only been using for about 3 weeks so looking forward to seeing results continue.
