Definitely would recommend
This stuff really does work as long as your patient and keep a good routine you'll be ok. I started using retinol with a small concentration of 0.2% and over the course of a year increased it to 2%. I can definitely say that my skin began to look much better, clearer and more radiant. Definitely would recommend this to anyone trying retinol for the first time and have matured oily skin works perfect

My favorite retinoid product!
Absolutely superb product! No irritation, no redness or other unwanted issues with this emulsion. Makes my skin looking younger, fresher, reduces wrinkles and fine lines. I'm using it for one year already, and definitely can see improvements in texture and overall appearance of my skin.

Must have for night routine
I’ve noticed that some of the fine lines around my eyes are diminishing. I suffer from Melasma & it is definitely brightening my dark spots and helping with my hyperpigmentation, added bonus is my skin feeling smoother.

Ordinary not ordinary!
So far so good. Smooth, silky on my skin, worried about the sun factor, & that I'm doing everything in the right order. A lot to think about .....

This product really works and is very good value
I had used expensive Retinol products in the past and found them good so I was a little skeptical about The Ordinary as the price was so reasonable. I was delighted with the texture and easy absorbtion and the results over a couple of weeks of regular use have been excellent. I would highly recommend The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion .

Great product
I’ve used retinol products for a few years now and this is really good I mix it with vitamin C serum to counteract any dryness, definitely recommend this.

Great product @ a great price. My pores are so much smaller than one week ago! I've been using this for 7 only days and I am positively surprised by the gentle but great work this product is doing. Will definitely purchase more.

Amazed!
The first time i tried this retinoid, i was skeptical as it doesnt feel anything on my skin until a few days later, my skin looks radiant and soft. Fine lines less visible too. Therefore i am now a believer of this product. Looking forward to trying other The Ordinary products

Quickly absorbed, too early to
Quickly absorbed, too early to see if any major difference to skin texture etc. but all in all v impressed
-
Loving it!
Oh My! At 2% with a new form of retinoid - this works without the irritation! A revolutionary product! I use mine every other night, with excellent results. A few drops means this product will last MONTHS. My skin is feeling really great for just a few days of using. I'm very excited in the future!

The Ordinary
I've been on the hunt for a retinoid serum to combat some fine lines I have on my forehead. I heard so many great things about The Ordinary, but their price point was what truly drew me to the company. I didn't have high expectations for this product, but it has completely changed my skin in ways I never thought possible. My fine lines have significantly diminished, along with my skin becoming baby soft, even toned and my pores shrank to the smallest they've ever been in my life.

Makes me look forever young
Okay so I am in my early 20s so fine lines and wrinkles are not a huge concern for me at the moment, but I want to prepare so that I will forever look like I am still in my 20s (lol). Since I can't really tell a difference in my skin I can only really comment on how it feels when I put it on. It is really gentle for a rentinol product and it doesn't irritate my skin what so ever. The best part about this is the price which is very hard to find. Hopefully I will forever look young and never develop a wrinkle.
