The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum

This retinal is very reasonably priced compared to others on the market. After consistantly using the product, I have noticed a more even skintone and a reduction in fine lines.

This has yellow tint but I never noticed any stain on clothes or on my face either. This has 0.2% retinal so I was scared to use but oh boy it works like charm and I have been using since over a month and it still have some for 15ml, it is more than enough as it spreads well on the face. Without stripping your barrier or purging, it is simply amazing. #AugustFavourite

I was excited to try The Ordinary's Retinal Serum, hoping it would help with fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The Issues: - Irritation : The serum caused redness, itching, and irritation on my skin, especially when used in conjunction with other products. - No noticeable results : Despite using the product consistently for several weeks, I didn't notice any significant improvements in fine lines or wrinkles. - Texture : The serum has a thick, oily texture that can be difficult to absorb, leaving a residue on the skin. The Verdict: While I appreciate The Ordinary's affordable prices and commitment to transparency, I wouldn't recommend the Retinal Serum to others. The irritation and lack of noticeable results were disappointing, and I'd caution others to patch test carefully and start with a small amount. Rating: 2/5 stars Would I Repurchase?: No, I wouldn't repurchase this product.

I use it 2 times a week, alternating it with glycolic acid. As the skin gets used to it, I will increase its use. Glycolic acid is also used in the same household.
