Nice product
This works well especially considering the low price. Doesn’t not burn my skin or make it break out. Nice gentle exfoliation.

A must have!
I’m 27 now so I’ve been getting very serious about my skin. I’ve been told to use retinol to help with aging skin so I decided to try this one & it has made my skin feel so smooth & I know it’s also helping in the long run.

Love this!
I have never used a retinol product, but I wanted to find one to try. I occasionally have minor breakouts, and have started to notice some fine lines around my eyes. I just started using this product, but I can already see a difference in the texture and feel of my skin. I wake up with softer skin that looks brighter and clear. I have not experienced any breakouts since beginning this product. I have not been using long enough to see my fine lines diminish, but I have noticed it is not harsh on my skin like some retinols can be. My skin feels hydrated and it is glowing! The only downside is this product does need to be refrigerated so I will not be able to travel with it, but it fits in perfectly with my home skin care routine. The product is smooth and easy to apply. It just glides onto my skin with no sticky residue. It is important to know that sunscreen should be used with any retinol product and start by using just a couple times a week and building up to a nightly application. This is a well priced option for anyone looking for an effective retinol.

Must try
This Retinol with squalene is my fave. This gives me the retinol and the added moisturizer with the squalene. I love this. The price point is perfect. The way it leaves the skin is a must have with me. I will continue to buy this one.

Part of my daily night routine <3
I've been using this product for almost about a year now. I was looking for a non-irritating retinoid for my sensitive skin and this works wonders for me. My skin feels plump, glowy and hydrated after using. I've also noticed that it helps even out my skin and brightens.

I’m a huge fan of The Ordinary serums, and this one is no exception. It balances my skin’s pH perfectly and has a touch of retinol, making it a great addition to my nighttime routine. Just remember to wear sunscreen!

Does the job
I’ve always struggled with large pores and now that I’m getting older, I’ve noticed they’ve gotten much worse. This Retinol does the job. it doesn't have a strong smell and it distributes nicely on skin and its non sticky. leaves a nice glow.

Great for beginners!
I’ve been wanting to start my retinol journey but was afraid of having an adverse reaction or irritating my skin barrier! This is a perfect introduction to retinol! My skin reacted well to the retinol and I was able to introduce it slowly without any issues! Excited to continue using it and seeing how my skin develops And the results!

So great!
This The Ordinary retinol 1% in squalene really packs a punch! I was uncertain how well it would work because it is inexpensive, however, after a couple of weeks using this my skin is softer, more smooth, and the texture is improved. Can't wait to see what it does in the future!

Amazing for sensitive skin
I have fairly sensitive skin and I can confidently say that my skin did not get irritated at all using this product. I've been using it for a few weeks and not only did my skin start feeling more hydrated, but also more firm.

After a week trying this serum and I am really delighted with the results, it is very good and gentle on the skin, I leave my skin soft and fresh from the first application. Now it looks with a uniform color and the small spots are disappearing, I love it!

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
Such a great price for a retinol product! I prefer this formula; the squaline solution was much too greasy for my naturally oily skin.
