God retinol for men
Great retinol at a great price for men and women. Compared to menโs products is much cheaper and feels good on skin. Easy to use droplets. And good skin coverage on evenings before bed.

Improves skin appearance
This is one of my best introduction to my regime. It improved my face? Itโs really oily to be honest. Easy to apply and overall, worth it. I do not have a lot of experience with Retinol so I canโt compare but I can say it has made significant change to my skin appearance.

Slowly helping with my stretch marks
Iโve been using this mainly on my stretch marks, applying a small amount consistently. After some time, Iโve noticed they seem to be slowly fading and the skin looks a little smoother. The squalane base also feels moisturising and spreads easily. It is a strong retinol, so I started gradually rather than using it every day.

Great strong product
This is the one Iโll stick with now, after trying a couple! It seems a little greasy, but it doesnโt seem to matterโฆ strong, so Iโd recommend avoiding eyelids! I feel like my skin looks noticeably betterโฆ

Buy two!
This is actually really moisturising and feels silky. Nice product and genuinely nice texture. I think the bottle needs to be larger, but for the price itโs probably worth buying two of them each time to really have a consistent application for 6 weeks.

I'm saying no to this product
I'm a huge fan of The Ordinary products. After trying it for the first time a few months back, I have quite a few because my skin tolerates all skincare really well, as I am a prolific tester of many different brands. I generally like this particular brand; however, this product is very oily and doesn't absorb, leaving the face greasy for hours. I can even see the imprint on my pillow the next day. For this reason, it's not for me, especially since I wear fake tan, and oil-based products are a no-go because they strip tan. But I love Ordinary productsโ this isn't for me but I don't doubt it's an exceptional product as all are โค๏ธ

Great product
Great product, my skin feels and looks firmer. It applies easily and I haven't had any reactions with using it as I have sensitive skin. I use it twice a week for now. You also have to keep it in the fridge once opened, so when it is applied it has a nice cooling sensation.

100% Recommended and improves skin.
Really good. It improves the skin by a lot, it even helped make my skin less dry. I stopped now in the summer cause going out more i needed to be more careful of wearing sunscreen, but during the winter its a no brainer. Super value for the price, just look at some tutorials for how to apply. I did have a small breakout period, but nothing crazy
