  • No more forehead wrinkles
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff nearly erased my fine lines. My forehead looks like I’m completely wrinkle free. In my 30s just starting to see signs of aging. Be sure to use an exosome shot immediately before applying this. Don’t use but every 2-3x a week or you will peel pretty deeply. My results were worth it. I removed dead skin with a rice exfoliation and it sloughed off everything, maybe a little too much. My skin is perfectly smooth like glass and literally my forehead is wrinkle free. ... show more

  • Good
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It is good to read how to use it. The first time I put it on my face turned red like an allergy (the bottle says not to mix it with other products that contain retinol and it also says that I can get over the red face but that this is until your face gets used to the product) I lasted three days with a red face and dryness as if it were peeling. After those three days I used it again and I love what I see and the rise of my skin, my face has not turned red again and my pores are controlled, I really love the results I am seeing. ... show more

  • Game Changer for my nighttime routine.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
TLDR; AMAZINF product- I absolutely would recommend. -target my fine lines and wrinkle -skin feels nourished and looks rejuvenated and plump -younger looking skin -doesn’t 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 while I heard the stories is what retinol could do but didn’t think it would do this much. My skin is breakout prone, and this didn’t 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 it’s not a big deal for me. All in all I would recommend this product. The price and results for me are unbeatable. ... show more

  • Effective!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using for about a week now, and I’m honestly really impressed. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly into my skin without feeling greasy. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s texture—it's smoother and more even. There’s been a visible reduction in fine lines around my eyes, and my skin looks brighter overall. It’s also gentle enough that I haven’t experienced any irritation, which is a huge win for me! Highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable, effective solution. ... show more

  • Surprisingly wonderful
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Y’all. This stuff WORKS. I never trust products like this to actually do their job but I took a chance and do not regret it!!! I’m 26 now and starting to notice fine lines, specifically beside my mouth and some on my forehead. Since I started using this stuff they’re pretty much gone. It’s oily and gross until it seeps in, but goodness it actually works so I do not care. I am so relieved I didn’t waste my money. Lol ... show more

  • Love this and this brand overall.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
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 ordinary’s 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 it’s 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 don’t let my serum soak in before using the retinol but that’s my only complaint and I just wipe the pills off lightly with a face cloth and finish with the ordinary moisturizing factors lotion. ... show more

  • May or may not work
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I mean I hope this does the trick however after using for 2+ weeks I can’t see any changes it just makes my skin feel “watery” and sometimes sticky. It’s up to you to try but it does “calm” my face.
