very good

I think this is a really good place to start your retintol journey as this is quite gentle and you can work your way up slowly. Very good

Nightly renewal

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!

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!

worth it

my skin purged straight after using this but i persevered through and now it has never looked better  it took about a month for me to notice a real difference but my overall skin tone and texture has never been better will def repurchase once it’s run out

Generally good

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!

My indispensable skincare secret

I just love this product, its rich texture and noticeable effects on brightening my skin however tired I might be feeling!

Still the best!

Temporarily switched to a Boots 'Ingredients' retinol out of curiosity after regularly using this, and the two just don't compare. Much prefer the texture and effect from The Ordinary!

Not for me

I have used and liked the 0.2% thought I’d try a higher dosage but didn’t seem to get any results.

Great - not a starter though!

Great retinol, make sure you use up within the 3 months. Not for a beginner retinol user. Remember sunscreen! Nice simple formula.

So far so good

I was looking for a more affordable retinol and tried this one. Still early days but I’m pleased with the results so far
