Great
I was nervous about using this but I didn’t react at all and my skin looks so much brighter. The bottle will last ages as you only use a very small amount.

Good starter to retinol skin care regime
Great for newbies to retinol. Not too harsh.

Another The Ordinary Success
I wasn't expecting the oily consistency but not necessarily a bad thing. I've been using for a few months now and have to say I've not noticed any difference to my skin, however, at 0.5% I'm not sure how much difference to expect to see. I'd like to see if a stronger formulation makes more difference.

First time using retinol
I’ve never used it before and after some research this seemed like the perfect % and brand (not too expensive). I heard that retinol can help clear acne etc. which is why I thought I’d give it a go - it’s really helped clear my skin so far. I’ve given 4 stars as I’ve not used it for long enough yet to give it 5 but it’s working really well so far

Nice product
This serum does it's job, a bit oily when you put it on your face but then it absorbs ok. If you have a dry skin or combination it's ok.

Love this Retinol!
I started on the 0.2%, finished that bottle so moved up to the next concentration - seems to have dried my skin out slightly more since starting but I did expect that with the higher concentration whilst my skin got used to it, a few weeks in now and it seems to have levelled out - this retinol is brilliant. Oily texture, but the difference on my skin is noticeable. I have always struggled with open pores and blemishes - this is made such a difference. Along with the anti-aging benefits too!
