After slowly introducting this into
After slowly introducting this into my nighttime routine my skin feels smoother and more hydrated. My skin no longer feels dry in the mornings and my make up applies much more evenly and lasts longer than before. Also the item was dispatched and arrived so quickly so would definitely recommend both the product and the website! Thanks you :satisfied:

Too oily
I think this retinol os too oily, the skin doesn't absorb it and mostly goes to my pillow at night.

TO Retinol 0.5%
Great product, good value for money and fast delivery. I started with the 2% emulsion and decided to move on to the 0.5% retinol. A lot of people say that it can be a bit oily but as I have combo skin it felt more like a dry oil going on then leaving a soft hydrating finish. Applied at night after water based serums leave for a few seconds until absorbed (if not it could cause pilling) and then apply on dry skin and gently massage. Leave at least 20 mins for the product to get to work before finishing of with a moisturiser and/or facial oil if needed. So far I found it has helped me with some pigmentation, redness and fine lines. Guess I will have to use it a little bit longer before seeing better results. As everyone's skin is different see what works for you. Definitely worth a try. Just don't forget if you're new to retinol start with a lower percentage then move up as it can cause irritation/dryness and check that the other serums/moisturisers you're using are compatible. Welcome to the retinol club for younger look skin!!

Good choice so far.
It can be a good starter retinol and you can't beat the price! It is a good choice for sensitive skin. I am using it for about 2 months and my skin is not irritated but glowing. It's too early yet for me fo say anything about reducing wrinkles.

My order came within three
My order came within three days I think and when I found one of the bottles had leaked, I rang this company to explain what had happened and I was sent a new bottle within three days. Therefore, I would highly recommend one to purchase from this company.

Must have
Lovely product to use in the pm before your normal moisturiser. Leaves skin feeling silky smooth and hydrated. Skin has lovely de-stressed appearance upon wakening. This product has become one of my 'must have' treatments, love it!
