THE ORDINARY RETINOL SERUM 1%

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

For the price, you can’t fault this as it does deliver some results but I feel as though they are better retinols on the market now. Texture is quite oily so didn’t suit my skin but would be great for any dry skin types.

A gentle retinol

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I always come back to this retinol after trying others. Its an effective retinol treatment that doesn't result in the dreaded flaky peeling skin.

I actually found this very gentle on my skin, maybe because of the oil formulation. Over time, it helped to keep my skin bright.

Nightly renewal

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol serum is a game-changer for my skin. It helps with fine lines and makes my skin look so much smoother. The squalane keeps it from being too harsh. Definitely a staple in my nighttime routine.

Great!

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is an oil, not a serum, but it is a lightweight but effective oil! After a full bottle, you should get a smoothing effect, but it won't give you a face lift, Rome wasn't built in a day! Great for the price, so it's good to purchase continually if possible, for longer term results!

Generally good

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Good starter retinol especially as it has squalane. I wasn’t fond of the texture as it’s quite oily, and I prefer cream retinols, but for dry skin this would be great!
