Great product
Great product, my skin feels and looks firmer. It applies easily and I haven't had any reactions with using it as I have sensitive skin. I use it twice a week for now. You also have to keep it in the fridge once opened, so when it is applied it has a nice cooling sensation.

Improves skin appearance
This is one of my best introduction to my regime. It improved my face? It’s really oily to be honest. Easy to apply and overall, worth it. I do not have a lot of experience with Retinol so I can’t compare but I can say it has made significant change to my skin appearance.

Powerful serum with great results
This is a powerful serum. I always make sure to use a gentle cleanser first to prep my face, then apply this in the evening before bed. Because the consistency is like a bit like oil, it takes a little while to fully absorb into the skin. I wake up with noticeably more hydrated and plumper skin in the morning! There is no strong fragrance to worry about either. Just use with caution and remember to work your way up to this percentage if you're new to retinol, as it is a strong formula. Overall, a fantastic product if used correctly.

This is good and I don't keep it in fridge. When I use it I add 3 drops into my night moisturiser. If you do this is the day remember to use your sun screen as direct sunlight can case reactions. Overall this brand seems to be good quality.

Too oily
The retinol most definitely works but the formula is too oily for me and I don't like the smell

Great strong product
This is the one I’ll stick with now, after trying a couple! It seems a little greasy, but it doesn’t seem to matter… strong, so I’d recommend avoiding eyelids! I feel like my skin looks noticeably better…

Strong Retinol That Delivers Results, But Definitely Not for Beginners
I’ve been using this retinol a few evenings a week, and it’s one of the stronger over-the-counter retinol products I’ve tried. The 1% concentration is no joke, so I started slowly and always followed with a good moisturizer. The squalane base makes it feel silky and helps reduce some of the dryness, although I still noticed a little peeling during the first couple of weeks.The glass bottle and dropper feel sturdy, and everything arrived well packaged and sealed, just as shown in the photos. The serum itself is a lightweight oil that spreads easily—a few drops cover my entire face.After several days of consistent use, my skin already felt smoother, and my overall texture looked more refined. The only downside is the oily finish, which takes a little time to absorb, and beginners may find the strength too much if they don’t ease into it. Overall, I think it’s an excellent value for an effective high-strength retinol

It works
The oil does the job. My skin looks more radiant when I apply the oil every evening.

100% Recommended and improves skin.
Really good. It improves the skin by a lot, it even helped make my skin less dry. I stopped now in the summer cause going out more i needed to be more careful of wearing sunscreen, but during the winter its a no brainer. Super value for the price, just look at some tutorials for how to apply. I did have a small breakout period, but nothing crazy
