Repurchase again and again

I love the oil-based delivery system, it feels more luxury, especially at its price. I've used this product for almost three years now and i don't see that changing any time soon. 10/10 love

So far so good!

Having been using the highest-strength The Ordinary granactive retinoid in squalane for some time I was interested to see if my skin would tolerate pure retinol. I've been using this for about two weeks now and so far so good – I did have a small breakout (as expected) but no redness or dryness and my skin does already appear smoother and brighter.

Affordable retinol for beginners

Great retinol for beginners as it’s mixed with squalene which is great for hydration. Very affordable compared to most retinols.

Good - works!

I like this product. Pleased to say it works and the price is excellent. Not sure you can buy retinol cheaper! Easy to use and a good percentage that you can reduce the potency of by mixing with a normal face cream if needed.

Go-to retinol

This is my go-to retinol, it has never irritated my skin and the price point is unbeatable. I’ve tried more expensive ones but this always comes out on top for me.

Good so far

Started using this a few weeks ago and so far have noticed small improvements (brought to remove some scarring) I have had no irritation using this and it’s my first time with retinol. Hoping as time goes on my results will improve!

Anti ageing in a bottle

I recommend starting lower than this percentage if you’re starting with retinol for the first time as I made the mistake of starting strong. However after my skin stop being irritated I noticed such a difference and keep repurchasing since
