dissappointed
I have fallen in love with Good Molecules skincare products since receiving some of their products as a birthday gift. So when I went to place my first ever order I decided to go ahead and give the "Gentle" retinol a try as I've tried a vegan retinol from a different brand that I loved but it's just...

Raving about this Retinol Cream
Gentle, yet effective. Using this on a regular basis (my skin tolerates nightly), I've been pleasantly surprised to see lines, wrinkles and spots diminished! I've purchased multiple times and it's my favorite retinol. This is a great value!
Literally Changed My Life!!!
I never leave reviews, but I started getting acne at 12, and have had issues with it and wildly oily skin ever since - I am now 32. Closed comedones, acne, you name it. I would get rid of one and two would pop up in it's place. Well, I decided to bite the bullet and try a retinol, and as I expected, my skin freaked at first with dryness and breakouts. However, now after about two months, MY SKIN IS CLEAR! For the first time in about 20 years, I am no longer embarrassed by my skin, and the oil has also miraculously been tamed. This product has absolutely changed my life, and I can't recommend it enough.
I can see results after just a few uses
I use this product every other night on my face. I can definitely see after a few uses that my fine lines are lessened. So I have been using this product for at least four months with excellent results!
Holy grail
I had been usuing a retinol from another brand that was way too strong and honestly made my skin dry and fine lines worse. Decided to switch to the ordinary and i immediately woke up with plumper skin, less defined fine lines, and acne scars/ spots fading. Only thing i dont love is the packaging however all products from the brand are like that anyways so what can you do. Worth it!!
Burns
I have mildly sensitive skin. I acclimated my skin to this by applying it on top of moisturizer for a week before i began applying it before moisturizer. A week after that, it gave me minor chemical burns. If your skin is at ALL sensitive, DON'T buy this.
