Excellent product as a retinol newbie
I’m 40 with slight signs of rosacea. Skin generally ok otherwise. Been using this every second night for about two weeks now and the difference is noticeable - really pleased! Will give it another two weeks then try using it nightly.

So far...
So far... amazing results. Going to upgrade to 1% retinol. Really does smooth things over overnight. I space it out over the week so as not to build up a tolerance as what happened when i used other Ordinary products every day.

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 ❤️
