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 ...

amazing!
i've been using a weak OTC retinol and figured it was time to graduate, swappws to this bad boy and it has made a big difference in my skin! I much prefer it to its cousin as thise OTC formulations tend to be oily. the ordinary delivers yet another bangerrrr
Potent and gentle
This kind of retinoid serum used to only be accessible from over priced "prestige" brands. This one is twice as strong as the peach and lily retinal. Retinal is one of the most potent and gentle anti-aging ingredients available.
Delivers.

Having just finished the first tube of this Retinal, my personal thoughts are: 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. That said, I am impressed with the results and shall continue to purchase this product.

I love the way this product feels! It only takes a small amount to be effective! I have used it for about a month and can already feel my neck becoming tighter!
