The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml

I use this serum in the evening before bed and massage it onto my face. When applied, it feels oily but in the morning, my skin feels supple, hydrated and looks smooth. I feel super glowy and it also helps with fine lines. I've been using it for about 3-4 weeks and wouldn't want to go back

I'm just using this product. I chose a low percentage of retinol and to build it up calmly instead of immediately every day, because I read that your skin can react irritated to the retinol. I have not experienced any irritation myself until Present. After applying the retinol and letting it work for a while, I use the hyularonic acid of the Ordinary to restore the moisture balance.

I started with once a week, because my skin was completely unaccustomed to the ordinary.. Been in use for a year now, and one of my daily bedtime routines. Well worth a try, just give it a few weeks to get your skin used to it

I started this product last week and am very curious about what effects it will have on my skin. Despite the fact that I haven't used it every day (it's quite strong), I did get more pimples. Just looked this up and they also call this purging: “Skin purging happens when new ingredients, like retinol, promote increased cell turnover, which causes clogging and worsening breakouts. This is particularly the case as oil and debris that is trapped deeper underneath the skin comes to the surface”. This can take approximately 4-6 weeks. I am waiting for it now and am very curious how my skin will react to this in the coming period. I've read a lot about retinol and people think it's a panacea. Important though, use it in the evening, then moisturize well and don't forget to put on SPF the next day!!
