Review: Works! - It's stronger than retinol and definitely will peel your skin off. It's a good product, worked well for me. Quick and free delivery very appreciated
Review: Amazing results great price - Amazing stuff! Has made a massive difference to my skin that use to look dull with open pores and hyperpigmentation. This stuff is stronger than Retinol. So do your research before trying this. My tip is use plenty of moisturiser once this has sunk in to prevent dry skin. And using hyaluronic acid serum helps before moisturiser to combat this. Personally I rotate this with AHA/BHA acid peel from The Ordinary every other night. You only need one pump to use over all your face (not the eye area) But I am impressed with the results so far. My skin is so smooth, no visible pores hyperpigmentation has faded dramatically and my make up glides on now. The price is also fantastic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four stars – highly effective retinal with excellent results if used carefully
*by M***L on 21 December 2025*

I bought this retinal serum to step up from lower strength retinoids after my skin had already adjusted, mainly to target uneven texture, breakouts, and early fine lines. The emulsion has a lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs well without feeling greasy. A pea sized amount is enough for the whole face, and despite the small bottle, it lasts longer than expected when used correctly. Results became noticeable within a couple of weeks, with smoother skin, fewer congestion issues, and an overall brighter appearance. That said, this is a high strength product and it does require care. Some initial dryness and sensitivity are likely if it is overused or combined with other active ingredients, so moisturising properly and easing into use is important. The yellow tint may also be off putting to some, although it does not stain and washes off easily. Overall, it delivers strong performance at a relatively accessible price point, provided it is used with caution and experience.
