Not drying

Good for sensitive skin as it does not dry out the skin and absorbs well.

Great product

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

For the price this is really great. Absorbs well, leaves skin feeling nice too. No horrible smell either which is always a bonus!  Quite a lot of skincare products cause me to breakout (very sensitive skin) but the ordinary products never do.

Great

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Another The Ordinary Success

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.
