Greasy AF
I hate this product so much, I ended up just purchasing a different retinol product. I bought it because it was cheap, there were good reviews, and it had different levels of retinol so you could start on the lowest one and work your way up. I did finish one bottle (the 0.1%) but only because I hate waste. Even if it’s just a few drops, it’s the greasiest thing ever to put on your face, even on my very dry skin. After awhile, I couldn’t stand the ultra greasy, sticky texture of it on my face, neck, and décolletage in my evening skincare routine, and decided it was worth spending more on a good quality retinol product that didn’t leave you feeling like you went on an ultra lubricated slip and slide and landed in oil. If you’re on a budget, this is okay, but be warned, as the Ordinary’s products are cheap, you’re not paying for it to feel nice on the skin or for the experience.

Spreads well but is very oily
I like the product. It takes a while to absorb due to the squalane - this does help keep my skin soft though. I think it has also helped with some of my seborrheic dermatitis that appears around my hairline and temples.

Smoother skin
I've seen a difference in my forehead and around the eyes already after only a week. My skin feels a lot smoother too. I've been using it every other day at night time and haven't seen any side effects.

Great retinol
Love this retinol, great price and can’t go wrong. Just make sure you wear spf as it can affect the skin barrier otherwise.

Love this!
Absolutely love this! Bought it on a whim when checking out and seeing it at a reduced price. Had a look at the reviews and I am not disappointed! If you haven’t already purchased, I would highly advise you do! I have since gone on to purchase more of the products from this brand!

Works well and you do notice a difference in the appearence of the skin. However you have to store this In the fridge which can be annoying

So far so good!
Have been using this twice a week for a few weeks now so it's a little too soon to notice the retinol results. So far I am impressed with the product, a little goes a long way, it absorbs well and leaves skin feeling smooth.
