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 legit...
I've used other retinal serums, but this one actually makes my skin cells turn over. ie: my skin will peel and is irritated after using. Which is what it is supposed to do....I am trying to slowly build up the tolerance to it. It's something I can handle once a week, but not every night. I am hopeful to see the results over the next few months.
Do not buy if you are pale!!!
Lowkey didn't realize that this "retinal emulsion" can go bad after 3 weeks. It literally tanned my pale face after putting it on for 8 minutes. I may have purchased a bad batch
I would definitely buy this again
This product I bought yesterday and it has reduce my lines on my forehead and I am very happy since I have been wanting to try a new retinal
erm what the sigma-
I can't believe I literally had to beg my mom to get me this stupid retinal thingy from this brand and for what??? My skin burned so bad after using it, I'm not even joking. It made my skin peel, turn super red, and I low-key looked like a straight-up tomato 🍅😭. Like, this was NOT the glow-up I signed up for. Honestly the glow recipe retinal serum is so slay and gentle t's the real MVP but this one? Yeah, this one is a big NOPE. Def not worth the hype lol. (THIS IS JUST MY OPINION BTWWWW GIRLIESS)
Wrinkle and acne reduced in a week
Run, don't walk. I'm an experienced retinol user so I had no issue using this even on daily basis. No peeling. I was told I look 15 years younger than my age but my head wrinkle has never gone away...until now. It's also cheap and has no seed oil
