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 ...

I have used the Ordinary priducts for years the Grandaction .20 formula and decided to try this one. It has really pumped up my facial line in addition to making my skin so smooth and satiny feeling definitely will keep this one.

Anyone giving this a bad review is using it wrong. You only need a pea size drop for the whole face and are supposed to use it one to two times a week. This product has made a landslide difference in my skin care. At first I was not seeing results with the ordinary products but decided to just do the suggested regime and added a few products. After using the line for a few weeks I have seen a drastic difference in my skin as a whole and will never go back to my old routine. Rather then seeing just temporary changes I'm seeing permanent real change in my pores, density, elasticity and the glow! Take the time to look up instructions on each product it makes a difference.
Had 3 uses out of this product.

Had 3 uses of this product, and could not expel more out of the tube. I even took the top off to see if this was really all of the product. For the price, I got 3 small sized pumps (about a pea size for reference). Very disappointed, buyer beware.

I had hormonal acnes that formed around my chin area. After using this product in 3 days, I found all acnes were completely vanished. It is highly recommended and I am super happy with the result. So thankful I found this with affordable proce but with fabulous outcome. Thanks the Ordinary. You are supposed to be the Extra Ordinary.
Not bad

I received this product for free from Influenster and The Ordinary in exchange for my honest review. I have been really enjoying this The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. I've noticed after a few weeks that my pores seem to be smaller and those little fine lines have started to smooth out. It absorbs nicely into my skin. I did deal with a bit of overdrying for the first week or two but now it's an affordable part of my skin care routine.
