Little potion in a bottle!
I bought this because I read that retinol should be in my skincare routine since I am now 31 years old. I wanted to start with a low strength as I had read that it can cause peeling. This is perfect. I use it 2-3 times a week at night and I have definitely seen a difference in my skin. It looks more plump and younger. I am thinking of purchasing the stronger strength when I have finished this one. I would definitely recommend it for anybody who is new to retinol.

Love it!
This stuff is lovely and has worked wonders on my skin! Noticed a difference after only a few uses - skin feels lovely, soft, clearer, evenly toned. I've been using it in conjunction with La Roche Posay Effaclar cleanser and moisturiser and my skin is the best it's been in years. Amazing!

Delivers beyond expectations
Good introduction to retinol which is gentle enough to use every night and leaves skin looking radiant and feeling soft. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent
This is just fantastic, my skin has never looked better I only use this twice a week and my acne has vanished. I always get spots right before my time of the month but not anymore. Never disappointed with any of the ordinarys products ❤️

A-mazing
So at 32, I finally have clear skin. It got rid of my acne, improved skin texture, faded scars and made it more even. The squalane is sooo nice, my skin looks and feels baby soft. This product is amazing. Go easy on it, apply only a few times a week. If you apply it to often you might damage your skin's moisture barrier and do more damage than good. Always wear sunscreen, and don't forget to hydrate and moisturize. If your skin is very sensitive, go with the 0.2% first. Other than that, buy this already, it's so affordable and so good!

Retinol
This arrived as stated, have only used a handful of times, but can tell when I have used this product, although I am probably being over cautious due to the fact I have never used a retinol product before. And want my skin to get used to it, the service was excellent

Where has this been all my life
This product is amazing. Use it sparingly but you will see instant results. I have now bern using it for about 4 days and I have the best skin ive had in years. I have experienced a small amount of peeling under the eye area but this is normal for when you start using a retinol product. I have a eye cream i use that has dealt with that so not a big problem. Ive always had noticeable pores around nose and cheeks and yet now i cant see them.im finding myself just looking att the time at the changes. Every person with problem skin ,uneven skin tone,fine lines ,breakouts need this product
