At first, I thought it was too rich and didn't absorb well, so I wasn't impressed. But the next morning, I noticed a subtle softness to my skin. Now I'm consistently applying it twice a week.
ConsIt's so rich that I question how well it absorbs. It might be difficult to use during the summer months.
TipOn retinol nights, I skip all other active ingredients. I just use toner, hydrating cream, retinol, and finish with a moisturizer. This routine seems to be more effective.

It contains effective components for addressing blemishes and pigmentation.
ConsThe texture is really disappointing. I can't even tell if it's absorbing into my skin. It feels like I've just smeared oil all over my face.

It really delivers on its promised effects.
ConsThe absorption is absolutely terrible. The oily texture doesn't sink in at all, just sits on top of the skin and feels like it's constantly sliding around. The formula is so runny it easily gets into your eyes, causing irritation. While it's budget-friendly, I won't be repurchasing due to these issues.

ConsThe Ordinary products appear to have ingredients and concentrations comparable to famous brands, but the issue lies in their formulation, which is quite disappointing. It takes far too long to absorb, and this retinol product feels like it's not absorbing at all. The overly oily texture makes it awkward to apply in the middle of your skincare routine, and if you use it as the last step, it just doesn't absorb well into the skin.

The hydration seems top-notch, but it might only be suitable for the winter season
ConsA product I couldn't tolerate due to its terrible feel. The stickiness, the slick surface that doesn't absorb, and the tendency to transfer everywhere were unbearable for someone like me who can't stand these issues. Its inconvenience made me reach for it less, and with less use, the short shelf life meant it expired quickly. Despite its reportedly good effectiveness, I just couldn't get along with this product. And for those using white pillowcases, you absolutely must lay down a towel. The unabsorbed product that sits on top of the skin needs to be wiped off before bed. It will definitely transfer to your pillow. With a yellowish tint...

Unlike other products with just 0.0n% retinol, this one has a significantly higher content, which I appreciate! For those new to retinol or with sensitive skin, starting with 0.2% might be the safest bet. The value for money is excellent. Compared to other retinol serums, it's affordably priced. I found it easy to use without breaking the bank.
ConsThe oily texture might be a drawback. With its rich formulation that absorbs slowly, it seems more suitable for those with dry skin! This aspect is quite a significant downside for me.
TipRemember to refrigerate after opening! Mixing it with a hydrating emulsion or aloe gel can help reduce the greasy feeling.

The price was reasonable and the results were quite good. Even with my sensitive skin, I didn't experience much irritation. With consistent use, I could definitely feel an improvement in my skin texture!

ConsIt doesn't absorb well into the skin and sits on the surface. When applied, it pills like dead skin cells, so you have to apply it once without any rubbing and be done with it.

ConsThe oily texture absorbs slowly, so... I use it on my body instead.

ConsIt doesn't absorb well and feels way too greasy. After three or four hours, my face becomes shiny and slippery - it's really disappointing. Plus, I haven't noticed any benefits.
TipThis is absolutely not a product for those with extremely oily skin.
