Good - works!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

I love the ordinary and this retinol is great doesn't irritate my skin and leaves it super soft. At this price you can afford to rub it every where . Great on the neck and chest area .

Gentle but effective

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Really like the texture of this and how easily it sinks in to the skin. I actually use it on my body on areas where I have some hyperpigmentation and it has actually helped to even out my skin. I have repurchased this multiple times over the past year thanks to the great price.
