Really good

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Really like this product, although your skin looks a bit greasy immediately after it soaks in really nicely. It’s also used at night anyway so isn’t a big issue. My skin feel clear and healthy.

The Ordinary Retinol

I get good results and minimal irritation due from this retinol to the addition of squalane. I use this when I’m taking a break from the Medik8.

Great for sensitive skin

My skin really does not tolerate retinol but I thought I’d give this one a go as it’s mixed with squalane- finally a retinol works on my skin! Would highly recommend if you’re prone to irritation

I had slight irritation to start with but I have moved to using it twice a week in the evening and it has made a great difference to my skin

I adore this!!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a staple in my night time skincare routine. My skin loves squalane, it’s so hydrating and nourishing, making this is the only retinol I’ve used that doesn’t dry my skin out.  I’ve been doing a 3 day skin cycle for a couple of months so use it 1 night out of 3 but I did use it daily for over a year with no issues. My skin is plump, glowing,  fine lines have lessened, previously problem pores are clearer. BUT… start on the lowest percentage and build up if you are new to retinol. And again, if you are starting out with retinol please know your skin will purge… ie) spots.. blackheads.. pimples under the skin.  It gets worse before it gets better. Read up on it so you know what you can expect. Also read up on what active ingredients you can use together.  :)
