Love this and this brand overall.
I love all products from this brand, everything they make is simple in ingredients, affordable, and never irritates my skin. This retinol is great, I will say PLEASE make sure to do your research before starting retinol because the wrong strength can cause your skin to peel and get dry. This product is the highest percentage you can get it, the ordinaryâs website tells you just about everything you need to know under the product description and they offer a lower percentage for people just starting retinol. If you are wondering if this product is right for you, they also have a feature on the website where you tell them your skin issues and they recommend products to you itâs cool to play around with. For me personally, I use this with the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum and it does pill a bit on my face if I donât let my serum soak in before using the retinol but thatâs my only complaint and I just wipe the pills off lightly with a face cloth and finish with the ordinary moisturizing factors lotion.

GREAT SKINCARE, GREATER PRICE!
better! It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, and Iâve noticed a visible reduction in fine lines and dark spots. I love that itâs gentle yet effective, and the price point is unbeatable. Highly recommend for anyone starting their retinol journey!

Game Changer for my nighttime routine.
TLDR;AMAZINF product- I absolutely would recommend.-target my fine lines and wrinkle-skin feels nourished and looks rejuvenated and plump-younger looking skin-doesnât break me out-plays nice with my other products of other brands.-only a few drops needed and spreads across face easily.-bottle lasts a good whileI heard the stories is what retinol could do but didnât think it would do this much.My skin is breakout prone, and this didnât break me out. What it did do was make my skin feel AMAZING. It felt soft, hydrated and nourished and looked even better.I added this to my nighttime routine and waking up in the morning my skin looks nourishes and plump. After a week of consistent use, my fine lines and crows feet really started to fade and now a month barely visible.The only down side for me is my skin seems more prone to sunburn, but spf is already important so itâs not a big deal for me.All in all I would recommend this product. The price and results for me are unbeatable.

A Potent Elixir for Radiant Skin
After incorporating The Ordinary’s Retinol 1% in Squalane into my nightly regimen, I’ve witnessed a remarkable transformation in my skin’s texture and appearance. The serum’s lightweight consistency absorbs swiftly, leaving my face feeling nourished and hydrated. Within weeks, fine lines have diminished, and my complexion exudes a newfound radiance.However, this potent formula demands cautious application. Initially, I experienced mild irritation and dryness, a testament to its strength. To mitigate this, I limited usage to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency as my skin acclimated. It’s imperative to apply only a few drops to avoid adverse reactions. Despite these challenges, the serum’s efficacy in rejuvenating my skin is undeniable, making it a valuable addition to my skincare arsenal.

It works!
I buy a lot of skin care, and this has been the first thing that I actually have seen give quick results. Take it slow or it will burn your face. I do twice a week now and hope to get to every other day. Really works!

Not impressed
First time using product. After three days my face feels burned and red. Maybe not the best to use it every day??

El efecto de este producto en la piel es muy bueno (llevo un mes usandolo), pero antes de comprarlo consideren que su duración indicada en el empaque es de solo 3 meses una vez abierto, resulta imposible terminarse el frasco en ese tiempo, más considerando el periodo de prueba y adaptación de la piel recomendado por dermatólogos, su concentración es 1%, bastante alto pero mi piel lo aceptó muy fácilmente, no me causó ninguna irritación ni descamación (posiblemente si lo haga en pieles secas o sensibles), otra cosa, la fórmula tiene squalane, para pieles grasas resulta incómodo porque se siente aceitoso, una sensación no agradable, pero no es comedogénico, solo es incómodo.
