The ordinary retinol serum
Leaves your face looking very greasy hence the loss of the 2 stars but a very good evening treatment

Didn't do anything
Used it for 6months and the retinol didn't make a difference to my skin. My acne didn't get worse or better, my skin texture in general didn't change or my pores.

Fantastic serum
I love this serum, after suffering with acne in early adulthood, Iv been left with scars and unevenness on my cheeks, after using this serum for under a week I can already see a difference! They are already starting to fade!! Pair with a good SPF and it should work for anti aging too!!

Good value
Good value but very runny and oily. Think I’d prefer a cream consistency for wearing at night.

I must say, The Ordinary's retinol truly lives up to its reputation. This little bottle of magic has worked wonders for my skin. Not only has it visibly diminished those pesky fine lines and wrinkles, but it has also tackled those stubborn dark spots that have been bothering me. The improvement in my skin's texture and overall radiance is remarkable. However, a word of caution: this potent potion requires careful application and a consistent skincare routine to avoid any potential irritation. But if you're willing to put in the effort, the results are definitely worth it!
