Nice

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I really like this retinol, was a bit hesitant as I do have quite sensitive skin but I had no reaction to this product and have now worked my way up to the 1%. Price point is great, and big fan of the recyclable packaging too.

You need to persevere for a few months and use it BEFORE any other serums but after your PM cleanser. I can honestly say it has transformed my skin, I’m 32 and people are shocked when I tell them my age & that’s without make up. Bargain buy I could not live without.

I'm not sure if it works, but this is just so insanely oily! (Yes, I know it's in squalene) but it just does not ever absorb and leaves you an oil slick.

Great product for beginners with retinol!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I recently started using this product because I’d seen a lot of good reviews of retinol on TikTok.  It’s been really great! I’ve heard retinol can have a tendency to dry out/cause redness on the skin, however this hasn’t been the case for me. My skin is still smooth! It has started to purge and I’m having some more acne, but this is part of the retinol process as it cleans out the skin. I can’t wait to see the final results!

Better as an ingredient in a cream!

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

I guess it feels nice on my face. Sort of oily. But the biggest mistake this brand made was not putting in BOLD WRITING that as soon as this product is opened it NEEDS TO BE REFRIDGERATED !!! This totally decides how well the products works! ... I dont think its great and I am better off using it within a night cream like Olay retinol..
