Great and not too strong

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Nice easing in retinol oil.   Great for sensitive dry skin without being too harsh.   Got no redness from this.  Just a nice glow that made confidence a little better knowing going out and not dreadful dry skin appearing through a night out.   The ordinary really is anything but ordinary.   Quite revolutionary id say.

Not sure this is strong enough for me but it's still lovely and am using it in between getting used to a higher retinol

Seems ok

3 stars out of a maximum of 5

Only used 3 times so no visible difference to lines but doesn't irritate my skin like I was worried it might.

I absolutely love putting this on in the evenings. It absorbs into the skin really well and instantly gives your face a bit of a pick-me-up. Would recommend!!

Use with caution

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Do not go straight in with this if you have not used retinols before. Your skin needs to build up to it even at a low strength. Works nicely and inexpensive, I like to mix with a moisturizer for move delicate areas. A small amount goes a long way.
