Visible Difference!

I notice plumper skin with fewer lines thanks to this. The oily texture keeps my skin wonderfully hydrated, too.

It’s OK…

I like the product. It’s oily, and glides on well, but I’ve not really seen many changes / results after using it for many months.

Love this!

Love this and loads of other ‘The Ordinary’ products. Was using the 0.5% and moved onto the 1% now and my skin is looking great

Glowing skin

I love ordinary products, I have used a few in the past and I always go back to them. This serum is just lovely and helps with early signs of aging.

I love the ordinary products

Definitely not for all over daily use for oily skin I use this twice a week all over my face but daily around the contours of my eyes and definitely does keep them fine lines at bay

Good serum for problem skin

I have been using products with retinol for 3 years. I have a problem skin. Retinol helps me be beautiful.  This serum has a good price and improves my appearance. But there is one disadvantage. This serum contains oil. It may be not useful for a problem skin.

Good for other uses

I have oily, acne-prone skin, and this is too strong for my face/neck. If you are using it that way, I would make sure you leave a 5-10 minute window after any other products before you apply, so your skin is completely dry. Do not apply to damp skin! I now keep this in my bedroom. Now and then before I go to sleep I will add a few drops to some hand cream and massage into my hands. It's great for getting rid of rough patches and smoothing the skin. You could probably also mix it with a moisturiser and apply it to rough or bumpy skin or even feet before going to sleep.

Not too harsh and a good place to start

Skin feels and looks glowing! Use one night a week, then build up to every night.

Great budget retinol

I am a long term user of retinols & this one doesn’t disappoint.  It is very oily so best applied half an hour before bed to allow it to sink in.  I haven’t found it irritating in anyway.  For such a reasonable price this is a great retinol.
