Not good for oily skin
The product is pure oil. Which for normal skin could be fine. I have oily skin so this just adds to it. I wouldn’t recommend for oily skin types. Previous serums I’ve used were never this oily. Applied at night time, and then wash off in the morning, throughout the day my skin is producing so much more oil than normal.

Notice no differnce
It's running consistency, so I have to work fast to avoid it running down my face, and I've used it a good few times now and I notice absolutely no difference which is disappointing.

Does what it says on the tin
I love this brand for simple easy to follow skin care Starting off I didn't listen to instruction and used multiple days in a row and my skin let me know slow down. 2 months in I've managed to build up to 2 or 3 times a week Ready for the next strength when this runs out

So far so good
I've just started using this after wanting to try retinol for a while. The serum is easy to apply and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry (I do use a cleansing balm before applying it and a moisturiser afterwards). Feels like great value for money compared to other products, but too soon to see results just yet...

Untested
I had previously bought .2% one which I used but I felt I needed a higher percentage as I didnt see big results but it did keep my oil production in control as I have oily skin. I still need to use this one and see how it goes, will update once tested.

Great to get you started
I wanted to start out with retinol and I feel like this is a great find for the money, only broke me out very little comparing to other retinol products (keep in mind this is normal when starting retinol, after a few weeks it balances out with your skin) poors looks smaller and overall more smooth

impressed
very affordable, it feels like it ruins your skin at first, but give it a chance and don't stop using and you will see the improvement.

Beginner Retinol
This is a great product to introduce retinol to your regime. Squalene is so hydrating, it’s a great counter to any dryness you might experience.
