Review: Amazing results great price - Amazing stuff! Has made a massive difference to my skin that use to look dull with open pores and hyperpigmentation. This stuff is stronger than Retinol. So do your research before trying this. My tip is use plenty of moisturiser once this has sunk in to prevent dry skin. And using hyaluronic acid serum helps before moisturiser to combat this. Personally I rotate this with AHA/BHA acid peel from The Ordinary every other night. You only need one pump to use over all your face (not the eye area) But I am impressed with the results so far. My skin is so smooth, no visible pores hyperpigmentation has faded dramatically and my make up glides on now. The price is also fantastic
Review: Excellent, on par with other brands& better than some pricier ones - Excellent retinAl. Great, effective alternative to Tretinoin. I can even use it in my neck without any irritation. As it is a retinaldehyde progress will always be a bit slower than Tret. I had been using Medik (so.?) which is so expensive. The Ordinary is good value for money (even if the price is a bit high for them). I found it just as effective. It’s very easy to apply and two pumps covers your face, neck, and a wee leftover you can put on the top of your hand. I wouldn’t say it’s very moisturising though. But is also not drying. Do I highly recommend it. Don’t forget to keep it in the fridge
