Essential.

My third bottle. Worked my way up the different strengths. Dries my skin a little but leaves it super clear and smooth.

Love it

Brought this as a gift for my mum who’s being looking to get some retinol- I use a variety of brands for my skin but The ordinary is such a staple and go to brand - fantastic products that are just what they say with no gimmicks or false promises

Thin Feeling

Weirdly thin + very greasy.. I think that it's a good back up to sub in for your more expensive retinols, if like me you're on a budget..

Visible results

This is the only retinol serum that gives me noticeable results (even overnight). It is however very strong, and I’ve over-used it by accident on many occasions so you’ve gotta be careful with it. The results are very addictive tho

Like it

Really like the Ordinary products. Have been using their Retinol for a while now and I like to think it is helping. A DR told me that it’s a good brand to use.

Great starter retinol

This is a good product if you are starting your retinol journey. There are stronger ones available but for the price this is a good one and you will see some results

Good for the price

I have been using retinol a while but have sensitive skin so always stick to a pretty low strength. This is a nice product for the money that so far suits my sensitive skin & is an excellent price. It’s too soon to say if the retinol is making a difference to my skin but it certainly isn’t having any adverse effects. Would purchase again in the next level strength

THE ORDINARY RETINOL SERUM 1%

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

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.
