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.

Great product. Trusted brand. Good value for money. Works for my skin.

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.

Fantastic high-strength retinol that actually works
This serum is absolutely brilliant for anti-aging. The 1% retinol is quite potent and has noticeably smoothed out my fine lines and improved my skin texture. Because it's formulated in squalane, it feels incredibly nourishing and doesn't dry out my face like other retinols do. But the drawback is, if you apply a lot or regular - depends on your skin - it can have adverse reaction.

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.

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
