Great product

This is the 4th bottle I've purchased, great results. I've not had any adverse reactions, highly recommend it and great value for money.

Good but not for beginners

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is the first retinol I tried and I really liked it when I first used it, it made my skin (acne prone, on the oilier side, abit sensitive) feel so soft and clear the next day! But as I did my evening routine using minimal products, I realised *everything* made my face skin. I stayed using the retinol once a week sometimes longer and I think it causes my skin to become very sensitive. I didn't use it for a month, when I tried again, my skin is suffering (redness, increased sensitivity).  I think this percentage may be a bit too strong for beginners and/or for people with easily bothered skin! But if you're a seasoned retinol user I imagine this is very effective!

It is better than other retinals but reminder that it is a strong one and to prepare your skin for that.

Great

I already feel it is making a difference after a very short amount of time. Takes a bit of getting used to having to go to the fridge but worth it.
