The OrdinaryGranactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane, Advanced Anti-Aging Retinoid with Hydration Support for Dry and Mature Skin, 1 Fl Oz

I've been on a skincare journey these past few months, and the results have been nothing short of amazing! With dedication to my routine, my skin has transformed—it’s now more radiant, with a fresh, dewy glow that I can’t get enough of. I’m absolutely thrilled with the difference!

I've used this product for several years and am very happy with it. Although it's tough to prove a negative (how bad would my 70-year-old-skin look without it?) I think it helps keep my skin looking good. I've never tried expensive serums so can't compare it to them, but I will continue to use. this bargain in a bottle.

Works great awesome price

I like it

I didn't notice if it works at all

Works as expected

I ended up purchasing a new one directly from the ordinary site bc this one really smelled like chemicals and it should more clearly indicate it has to be refrigerated after opening...didn't see that till a few days later. Regardless, even the new bottle straight from the ordinary doesn't do much at all. It gets in my eyes every night but otherwise it's just like using the plain squlaine. Just my experience after a few weeks and still trying.

I am not a beauty product aficionado. I don't like to spend a lot of time on my "routine." But, I am in my 40s, and I decided last year it was time to take better care of my skin. I quickly encountered an overwhelming amount of information and products that I had no idea whether they would work or what. I then found an article listing a few key things to include in your routine if you are a low-maintenance kind of gal. Retinol was one. This brand was the cheapest way I could find to to get high-quality, high-percentage retinol.If you have oily, blemish-prone skin like me, it may seem counter-intuitive to put oil on your face every night (which is what this product is), but I will tell you that when I am religious about washing with an SA product (I use Cereve), moisturizing with a gel moisturizer (I use Clinique), and putting this product on my face every night, it completely eliminates blemishes and improves the quality of my skin. It's kind of amazing. And you will have this little bottle for weeks, which is very nice for the price.I've never bought more expensive retinol products to compare, and as long as I can get this product, I never will!
