Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin. Apply a moisturizer afterwards. Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day.

Almost perfect Retinal!
This retinal formulation is very light and easy to spread and sink into the skin. It's comfortable to wear and I did not experience any skin irritation. So glad that the it is offered at such a high percentage of retinal that is rare to find from other brands at such an affordable price. What would ...

Disappointing
I received this product as a gift from a friend. Apon first look, I was baffled how little product you get for the price. I've used OTC retinaldehyde for years, so I think I will stick with it: I get the same amount of care and three times the product for the price. The Ordinary is not what it used ...

It's Ok
It made my face peel a bit, but not enough product.
Simply Works
I have emptied this twice now. On my third. It works at changing your skin subtly and does not disrupt the skin barrier. I have sensitive skin and have had no peeling, flaking, burning, or red rashes. It is an easy yes to add to your nightly routine
Bright orange no thanks
Comes out bright orange and gets everywhere. Stays under my nails. Wipes off skin orange. I tried it for 2 weeks and couldn't get past that. I hate this product.
Pretty much in love
I'm pretty much in love with this retinoid! It absorbs easily and is much less irritating than it could be. I wouldn't say it's not irritating though, I definitely had some retinization as my skin adjusted to it (namely redness, dryness, lots of flakes, and a small burn/scape on my cheek). And my skin is used to 1% retinol. My skin was also very sun sensitive, so sunscreen is a must. That being said, it's very effective, even after only one month. My skin has improved with less new acne, diminished old acne scars, and reduced fine lines, as well as evening my skin tone. The only downside to me is the price for the quantity, but I think it's still reasonable. Oh, and it's very very yellow, so you'll look jaundiced lol or bruised if you only use it for spot treatments. Gave my husband a good laugh though!
LOVE THIS RETINAL!
Must be experienced with vitamin A before using. It's strong, so you have to build a tolerance gradually. It's the only thing that actually faded my dark spots. It has improved my complexion and texture drastically. My only complaint is the size
