Gorgeous scent

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Fast becoming my favourite perfume. Gorgeous woody scent that sits on the skin all day without being overwhelmingly strong. I always get compliments about how good I smell whenever I wear it.

Excellent Combination of Retinol and Squalene

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is one of the products from the Ordinary that I will continue to re-stock. It is a gentle retinol in my experience, even for darker skin tones. It helps me with eliminating breakouts.

Had a bad reaction to this. So be careful with dry and sensitive skin.

Good beginner retinol!

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This was my first retinol I had tried out - Personally, I think there are better ones out there but you can't really fault it for the price point. I felt like it was a little too oily for my liking (although this is to be expected due to the squalene!) so I prefer other formulas but I think this brand does great 'beginner retinol' for those who are starting out.

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

I've been using this product for two years now, along with Hyaluronic Acid 2% +B5, Retinol 1% in Squalane, and the Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG. I am 65 years old going to be 66 soon. My face has changed so much that people who see me now don't recognize me. People who meet me for the first time think I am 45 years old. My 42-year-old daughter asked me what I did. Now she is buying these products. I thought people were joking with me when they thought my daughter was my sister! The first photo is me two years ago and the second one is now. I have also lost 40lbs over this time span.
