Good product

Helps reduce the look of my pores and the appearance of texture on my skin, I would genuinely recommend this product to anyone with a normal skin type as it fits perfectly into my routine. I sandwich it between moisturiser to ensure it doesn’t cause my skin to dry out but sometimes apply directly after nicinamides to allow it to penetrate into my skin deeper.

Really good

There was a really noticeable difference in my skin texture even after just one use, it was noticeably much, much smoother! I also found that the price was very reasonable, I just wish they were stocked in more stores to make them more accessible to buy!

Best retinol for beginners!

I genuinely have seen a difference  in my skins texture and can see visible radiance and glow to skin. Surprisingly no purging so fingers crossed it stays that way. Been getting complimented on my skin so I think this is another W from the ordinary :)

Superb!

Personally I really like it. It's quite oily and moisturising retinol. Definitely on a gentle side, but don't use it too much. I'm using it twice a week and it's perfect. My face ia super soft in the morning and not red at all. It helped me with my texture and even little spots. Great for the price
