is this what it appears to be?
3This is the third Retinol/Retinol product from The Ordinary which I have bought and used. I was very happy with the first two and worked through the inevitable sensitivities which arise when beginning to use Retinol. So I was ready to move on to something stronger and I thought this was it. But is it really a 5% concentration of retinoid? The small print states it is a 0.5% solution of retinoic acid. That is a difference of a factor of 10. I have been disappointed that my skin has not improved at all since using this and is not as good as it was when using the other apparently less concentrated squalane solutions. In particular open pores are much worse. I'd really like to know what the actual Retinol concentration is in this product if anyone understandseen the chemistry

Not for me
2Many people seem to love this and it got rave reviews on YouTube. I had used the Granactive Retinoid serum 0.2% before and it was superb. But I wanted a higher concentration so I decided to try the 0.5% in Sqalane. But I really didn’t like it. It made my eyes sting and my skin feel greasy. I had no redness or peeling on my skin, but when I applied it over the Niacinamide 10% serum, it got all grainy, and also the smell really bothered me. My skin type is combination and my age is 45.

Great retinol serum
5Love this stuff. Really does seem to be working well for me. I started off on the 2% in emulsion which I'm glad I did but I must say I prefer the squaline as it really feels like it is hydrating my skin. People have commented that my complexsion is flawless and how envious they are and I can see my open pores disappearinhg.
