Usage guidelines not very good!
So I just found out here that this needs to be refrigerated. Also just noticed on the label that it's only good for 3 months after opening! Considering I only use 2 drops to cover my entire face, there is no way I would finish the whole vial in 3 months. What happens to the product if it's not refri...

Essential Part of my Daily Regimen
I absolutely LOVE The Ordinary!!! With these inexpensive products, you can put together a personalized skin care regimen that meets your exact needs without paying for a lot of ingredients you probably don't need and/or going through some expensive customization service. Granted, my regimen consists of about a dozen products, so I could save time by spending more money, but the results I've gotten from the regimen I've put together are undeniable! My skin looks firmer, healthier, and younger. This Retinoid Emulsion is my preferred retinoid/retinol option after trying several others. Use as directed and see the results you expect.
This Ordinary product is extra ordinary
Amazing product
Gentle and Hydrating Retinoid
I bought this product after looking into affordable retinols and wasn't disappointed. The reviews for the retinol in squalene was said to be oily, so I chose the emulsion. Its very hydrating without being greasy. I haven't experienced any negative affects from using this product, though I advise anyone using retinoid to ease into using it. I haven't used it long enough to speak on it's long-term affects (about a month).
Yes! Obsessed!
I like the consistency of the product plus it doesn't irritate my skin at all and I have sensitive skin
Awesome Stuff!
I was concerned with dark spots, acne scars and wanted to refine my pores. This helps with all those issues and feels nice on my skin. I have acne prone skin & rosacea and it didn't cause any issues with that at all.
