The OrdinaryRetinol 0.5% in Squalane, Intermediate Retinol Serum for the Face That Is Anti-Aging and Skin Smoothing, 1 Fl Oz

If you're looking for a more affordable option than expensive retinol treatments, you should try this product. I usually don't write reviews, but I wanted to share my positive experience. After just one use, I noticed a big change in my skin. By day four, the blackheads on my nose were gone, and my pores looked smaller—it's almost like magic! I didn't experience any skin irritation. I applied a moisturizer after the retinol dried. I was so impressed that I bought a second one for my daughter. I really appreciate that this product is affordable, making it easy for people on a budget to access!

I’ve never used retinol before. They do say it could cause some peeling, which I did experience to a very minor degree. Just little dry flaking. I only used it every few days after that and it cleared up. It was also fine with moisturizer, but like I said it’s supposed to be normal to experience that, and applying moisturizer took care of it. I didn’t experience any irritation which can also happen to some people.I haven’t had it long, but after a few weeks I’m seeing a bit of a difference.

OOOOOO!!! I love this so much. I've tried about 4 different retinol serums (mad hippie,kiehls, and some brand ones from TJMaxx I cannot remember)But this one has shown better results with continuous use for the past 2 months. I DEFINITELY see a difference in my skins texture and lines. They aren't completely gone but they do seem less visible. Plus my skin feels and looks more hydrated. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting their skin looking hydrated and a little youthful :)

So I do like this retinol. It has the squalane in it which makes it feel very oily going on. It takes some time to sink in so be patient. I did have breakouts the next day. A pimple here, a pimple there so now i use it totally away from the t-zone and chin and only on the cheeks. I know that retinol makes you purge, but the breakouts were specific to areas on my face where oil cannot be used. Kind of like when you keep touching your chin and then BAM a pimple the next day. However, I do think it works well if you can get past that. But in all honesty, I wont be buying it again.

Tiene una buena textura, según reseñas en internet al parecer es original, llegó rápido y bien empacado.

I’ve been using for a few weeks now after moving up from the .2 retinol. I’ve definitely noticed some subtle changes and feel like my skin is the healthiest its look since my early 20s. Can’t beat the price. Definitely enjoy this brand.

Another fabulous and affordable skin care product from The Ordinary! I’ve transitioned to an all-Ordinary skin care product regimen and couldn’t be happier with the quality, not to mention it’s affordable and does amazing things for my skin.

Serum goes on easy but doesn’t seem to absorb well and I still have a greasy feeling in the morning. Also, it smells like old cheese. Not a great scent to breathe in while trying to sleep at night.
