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 ...

Can we get this in another package, because this is often not working, and also some stronger options as well? From 0,2 to 0,6? That would be nice. This is way better than retinol, and we need more of this.
Skin peeling
I do like how smooth this goes on and how easy it absorbs into my skin. BUT, i have some peeling going on my forehead and cheeks. This is the only thing different that I've used. Hoping it's peeling to reveal brighter skin fingers crossed
Much better than retinol

It delivers. The skin on my face and neck is noticeably smoother, firmer and evenly textured. Lines and pores are diminished. Initially experienced mild peeling/flaking but that quickly settled down. Dosing. I found a pea size amount as recommended insufficient to spread a thin layer across face, front and back of neck. 5 pumps required for me. The colour. It will stain pillows and other white/light fabrics with a yellow tint
Great product, but pump is faulty

Love this emulsion! Not oily, absorbs quickly and no irritation whatsoever. I can tell my skin texture looks better. The only issue is the pump, I pumped for ages and I turned it upside down as suggested, nothing happened so I had to remove the top part and literally cut the seal with scissors to be able to use the product. I gave it 4 star instead of 5 because of the pump.
