Works!
It's stronger than retinol and definitely will peel your skin off. It's a good product, worked well for me. Quick and free delivery very appreciated

Amazing results great price
Amazing stuff! Has made a massive difference to my skin that use to look dull with open pores and hyperpigmentation. This stuff is stronger than Retinol. So do your research before trying this. My tip is use plenty of moisturiser once this has sunk in to prevent dry skin. And using hyaluronic acid serum helps before moisturiser to combat this. Personally I rotate this with AHA/BHA acid peel from The Ordinary every other night. You only need one pump to use over all your face (not the eye area) But I am impressed with the results so far. My skin is so smooth, no visible pores hyperpigmentation has faded dramatically and my make up glides on now. The price is also fantastic

Four stars – highly effective retinal with excellent results if used carefully
I bought this retinal serum to step up from lower strength retinoids after my skin had already adjusted, mainly to target uneven texture, breakouts, and early fine lines. The emulsion has a lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs well without feeling greasy. A pea sized amount is enough for the whole face, and despite the small bottle, it lasts longer than expected when used correctly. Results became noticeable within a couple of weeks, with smoother skin, fewer congestion issues, and an overall brighter appearance. That said, this is a high strength product and it does require care. Some initial dryness and sensitivity are likely if it is overused or combined with other active ingredients, so moisturising properly and easing into use is important. The yellow tint may also be off putting to some, although it does not stain and washes off easily. Overall, it delivers strong performance at a relatively accessible price point, provided it is used with caution and experience.

Excellent, on par with other brands& better than some pricier ones
Excellent retinAl. Great, effective alternative to Tretinoin. I can even use it in my neck without any irritation. As it is a retinaldehyde progress will always be a bit slower than Tret. I had been using Medik (so.?) which is so expensive. The Ordinary is good value for money (even if the price is a bit high for them). I found it just as effective. It’s very easy to apply and two pumps covers your face, neck, and a wee leftover you can put on the top of your hand. I wouldn’t say it’s very moisturising though. But is also not drying. Do I highly recommend it. Don’t forget to keep it in the fridge

No idea.
Used the whole tube as per instructions, yet after 2 months I see no difference. Probably just me as had to give middle, 3 stars, as honesty can't tell.

It works!
I would say that this product works. Don't do what I did and ignore the online advice to build up to this strength. I used it every evening for a week. My skin became tight, sensitive and I had dry flaky red skin around my eyes and forehead. Having said that, I stopped for a few days and made sure I kept my skin moisturised. After 3 days my skin settled down and I believe I can see a reduction in the lines near my eyes and someone on the more deeper lines on my forehead. I am going to try using it now two nights on two nights off and see if that keeps the sensitivity at bay. Oh and the colour is bright yellow. I have white bedsheets and this has definitely stained them so beware of that.

Good
Highest strength without a prescription so the only option at a relative price point on the Market. Be aware if you haven't used this before limit the number of times you apply as can cause severe chemical burns. I have used for over 12 months and there is a very small difference, don't expect overnight results.
