The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Retinol 1% in Squalane

The product is not bad, but it only works during cold weather. It doesn't work well with any of my creams, as it tends to roll and absorb for a very long time on the periphery of my face, even if I apply just a little bit. There are much more effective products with retinol from Medik8 or Obagi, although they are more expensive, they are much more efficient. Also, this is my second jar of this brand, and for the second time, the dispenser is broken. The bottle stops screwing properly, and it's unclear what to do next. My friend had the same issue.

I have been using this product for about a week now, and there is quite an intense reaction in the form of skin peeling. During the first couple of days, I thought we wouldn't get along because I developed large pimples. However, after a few days, my skin cleared up and the spots from previous inflammations lightened a bit. It hasn't had any effect on my pores yet. One downside is that it leaves a strong shine on combination skin, but when applied at night, it's not a problem. The consistency is very fluid, so sometimes I have to "catch" the drops. That's why I apply it on my palm first and then spread it on my face.

I have been using it for about two weeks. The initial peeling quickly disappeared with a good moisturizing cream. I did not notice any worsening of the skin (which they promise at the beginning), but I am definitely satisfied with the improvements from the first application.

For those who are thinking of trying it for the first time and are currently reading reviews: take a closer look at the brand's products with a lower retinol content and introduce it gradually! It's not critical, of course, to start with this one, but there is a chance to minimize unpleasant side effects like peeling and redness. Also, don't forget about moisturizing and SPF.

I am thrilled with this serum. It is olive-based, and I thought it would make my skin oily, but it doesn't. I apply it at night and wake up with perfectly smooth and nourished skin. Although my skin used to have acne problems,

It's very good, I don't like the smell, but for the sake of the effect, you can endure it. I used it every other day, didn't expect anything, and got a wow effect.

Girls, if you have acne, this is exactly what you've been looking for.
I couldn't get rid of acne for a long time. I tried peels (cool, but then BOOM, it came back), took pills for my gut, didn't eat sweets, flour, and dairy - it helps, but NO.
Then I finally decided to try advice on acne care. Yes, it will require some spending, but it's worth it!!

Morning:
1. Regular cleansing foam
2. Niacinamide (serum)
3. SPF, both in winter and summer
Evening:
1. Foam with acids (according to skin type)
2. Retinol (at night!!!!)
3. Moisturizing cream

It's been less than a month and I already have no new breakouts. Healing the spots.

Don't reinvent the wheel when dermatologists have been studying this for years!!! Self-medication can be harmful to your health!!!

I used half of the jar and it was quite disappointing. This product turned out to be useless and ended up in the trash bin. Moreover, it even caused a rash on my combination skin. It didn't provide any protection against pigmentation despite having SPF 50. In summary, it yielded zero results and instead gave me pigmentation issues and rashes. I used it overnight.

This is the only thing that helped me with breakouts. To say that I am satisfied is an understatement. But I started with 0.5% and then switched to 1%.

In the morning, it is important to thoroughly cleanse with a gentle cleanser, use a toner, and apply SPF30-50.

In the evening, I use an AHA acid (Christina) (yes, they say you can't combine them, but both the dermatologist and the cosmetologist gave me the green light).
Toner,
Retinol.
I don't cover it with anything since it is already oily.

If you are just starting to use it, here are my recommendations:
Start by applying it 2-3 times a week, then every night.
Endure the peeling (the skin gets used to it).
Be amazed by the results.

The product just sits on the shelf, providing no effect other than a slight moisturizing. I don't know how it affects others, but it doesn't cause any peeling or burning sensation on my skin.

This serum is great, I've been using it for 2 months (it says it will take effect after 2 months) and I can see noticeable results, my wrinkles are smaller (I'm 35 years old). For my oily skin, the 1% light version works well - I will try the 2% version and add peptides to the serum instead of the cream.

One day I went out in the sun with SPF 15 - my face got slightly red, so now I'm using SPF 50.

The expiration date is short, but it's understandable because air and light can get in. I store it in the box and in the refrigerator.

I think if someone doesn't like this brand, it might be due to compatibility issues with other cosmetics, and it could be individual.
