Good but…
I really like this product and find that it really helps to reduce fine lines, however, although I avoid the eye area I find that my eyes burn every time I use it so maybe it’s a little too strong for me. Skin feels lovely though!

Had used for a few months but didn’t notice any real difference, like the other products from the Ordinary but won’t be reordering this.

Great starter retinol
Bought this as a gift for someone just getting into skincare. This is a great option for someone just getting started with vitamin A in their skincare routine. The squalane buffers the irritating effects that can be caused by first using retinol, so this is a great option.
