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

2 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Good Starter Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This retinol is one I’ll always repurchase! I’ve given it a 5 stars due to its consistency, which makes it a tiny bit difficult to work with. However, I’ve seen my smile lines and the overall appearance of my skin become tighter and smoother. Would recommend starting with the 0.5 strength first though for newbies
