Retinal 0.2% Emulsion High-Strength Retinoid Nighttime Treatment

I’ve just received this retinal and I’m concerned about the amount of product in the tube. There seems to be a significant amount of air inside, and when I press the pump, only a very small amount of product comes out. The tube feels surprisingly light and gives the impression that it may not be properly filled. For the price, I expected a full tube and a pump that dispenses the product normally. Very disappointing for a brand I usually trust.

The emulsion stains bedding so goodness knows what it does to the skin!

I bought this a month ago. No irritation or purging. I finally see the results in my texture and tone. Fine lines and crows feet have went away. I started using retinol in May and it took 3 months to see the changes. I will be purchasing again when I finish the bottle I'm on. I only use this product and face cream with peptides and hydralonic acid.

I've used almost every one of The Ordinary's retinol treatments to build up to using this one, their strongest - and it was a very easy upgrade! I've never experienced any burning or irritation from any of their products. The formula is soft and gentle enough that I use it around my eyes and all over my neck without any irritation. I've noticed the crepe like look of the skin under my eyes has gone away half way through finishing my first bottle! The bottle lasted me about 3-4 months using about 3 times a week. I have stopped using other serums since using this the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion and see great results by simplifying my regimen to focus on this product. Sometimes I think my sensitive skin gets overloaded when I do morning and evening treatments with other actives. This is now the single active I use on my face, aside from face wash, face cream and SPF. One single pump covers the whole face but you have to apply carefully.. what I do is pump onto my hand, then take my finger to tap the product gently across my whole face, placing dots all over, then gently rub it in. I add a second pump to get my neck using the same method.

Amazing skincare line!! I am obsessed with this line!!! I am working on getting acne and scars gone!!! So I have almost everything they carry. Doing this in stages!! Thank you Ordinary!!! Love the entire line! Love the website! Big help in getting additional information on what products can be used together for better results!!!!

I have tested this on one side of my face and prescription tretinoin 0.05% on the other side of my face. After two months the side of this product looked plumper, pores smaller and fine lines lesser than the tretinoin side. Also, I can use this on my neck and eye area without an irritation. Congrats for an amating product, Ordinary!!!
