My favourite affordable retinol! Doesn’t irritate my skin and you can see the difference in skin texture when you don’t use it.

Fab and affordable retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

My friend recommended using retinol to help with anti ageing. This is a great snd affordable option. It is not too potent like others I have used in the past.

A bit harsh for sensitive skin but does the job!

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

I have super sensitive skin that flares up, this can irritate me during a flare but when my skins good, this works a treat. It’s soaks into the skin quickly, seems to have evened out my complexion and isn’t too harsh. There’s no smell to it which is always a bonus for me!

Retinol

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Use this 2-3 times per week it’s great. Bit of a funny smell to it but think it’s normal for a retinol.
