The Ordinary Retinol Serum 0.5%

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

For the price, you can’t fault this as it does deliver some results but I feel as though they are better retinols on the market now. Texture is quite oily so didn’t suit my skin but would be great for any dry skin types.

Powerful serum!

An amazing serum with a touch of retinol which helps to fade wrinkles and is quite sensitive to your skin too! The Ordinary skincare products are great for your skin at amazing prices also.

Night magic

This retinol serum is perfect for beginners. It helps with fine lines and makes my skin look smoother and clearer. The squalane keeps it gentle and hydrating. Definitely a staple in my nighttime routine.

The ordinary Retinol 0.5%

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

It did improve my skin's smoothness, but didn't meet my expectations compared to other retinols. I also found the texture a bit too oily.re too, its a bit oily.

Great Step-up

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I moved from the Versed 0.25% gentle retinol starter onto this after a year of using the versed. It was a great and easy transition for my very sensitive, combination skin. I use once every three days alongside my Ordinary squalene cleansers and Thank You Farmer sensitive sunscreen. Great and simple combo. If you have sensitive skin this is a great step up. Less is always more. I wish there was a smaller size of bottle though.
