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 ...

The packaging is the worst I've ever come across in my life. Nothing came out and I had to cut the entire tube open to get anything out.

I really didn't see much of a difference it's supposed to be a lightning and tightening serum and I used it for over a month every other day for about a month and I didn't see much difference I definitely would not buy this it's very creamy and absorbs right into your skin it does make your skin a little bit dry and the areas you put it in it has no smell it's unscented and I do like the little bottle that it comes in

I am 47 and had pronounced forehead lines from frowning. Retinol serum was working well to reduce the lines. Then I tried this. One application and my lines have reduced so dramatically I look 20 years younger! No sensitivity at all but did apply another brand of HA serum first and plenty of moisturiser afterwards. Highly recommend!! In shock tbh haha!

my new favourite retinoid. results are noticeable. I have relatively sensitive skin, use the product pretty liberally, and have had no adverse reactions.
Great product

I received a free product of The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulation for my honest review from The Ordinary and Influenster. After a few weeks of usage i've notced my pores are looking smaller! I'm in my mid 40's so I do have some fine lines and the Ordinary is helping smooth them out some. This definitely made my skin look more even. The ordinary has great affordable products.
