Fantastic stuff for older skin
I’m 49 and I’ve been using this for the past year, having moved up from the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (which I’d used for a few years). A little definitely goes a long way and it took me a while to get used to the greasier squalane formula. I use this nightly after TO squalane cleanser and glycolic toner and my skin looks fantastic the following day. It definitely improves my lines and wrinkles and makes my face look naturally brighter. It has even given me the confidence to stop having botox, which I think says it all! For the price, the results are fantastic and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Botox in a bottle
Very good, smoother lines, just a bit greasy but worth it.

I think it's working
I started using this once every couple of nights and at first didn't notice anything but then I started getting dry skin peeling off. I imagine that this is the retinol working and shedding the skin to reveal new skin, so I'm hoping eventually it will reveal healthy new skin. I haven't had any irritation but I will see if it helps with fine lines and add an update.

Best retinol on the market
Simply high dose retinol at such a cheap price. Makes my skin so smooth n beautiful. Ive been using retinol and glycolic years so my skin can handle it, always start at a lower dose and work your way up to lessen any potential reaction. That said, i had no reaction from the ordinarys retinol at all, its very gentle.

Great budget option
I found my skin lovely and soft while using this. In terms of fine lines, I didn’t see much difference but haven’t used it long term enough to tell. Tip - keep in the fridge for a soothing effect!

Smoother looking skin
Improves skin feel and look by getting rid of old tired dead skin cells. Definitely improved the look of my skin. Felt skin looked healthier and more glowing. I have extremely sensitive skin and this product did not irritate my skin at all. I use at night let soak in then apply moisturiser.
