I bought this product as a retinoid beginner and I do not regret it!!! Not only Did I avoid the risk of purging but also kept my skin hydrated. I just want to highlight that I tried with Niacinamide serum (also from ordinary) and it was the ultimate combo!!!

Definitely recommend low and slow if you're new to retinoids. Don't rush it. And you really don't need a lot for this to work. More is not better; just more irritating

My skin is glowing!
I've only been using the retinol 0.5 in squalane for about 2 weeks. I normally have dryish skin and some fine lines as I'm now 40. Already the lines by my eyes are gone. My dry skin is better too possibly from the oil formula?? Most retinols dry the skin but this one has not. I know you probably should not apply this in the eye area but sinse it's in an oil
