Great starter retinol
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This starter retinol serum seems really great so far. It absorbs easily into my skin, doesn't feel too harsh or chemically and is helping reduce my fine lines. The dispenser is easy to use and the packaging sleek and attractive.

Gentle retinol serum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this retinol serum for a while, and i really like it. It's gentle, affordable, and doesn’t cause any irritation or redness. My skin feels calm and balanced. I've noticed smoother a texture and a more even tone. It's lightweight and perfect for layering in my nighttime routine, great for beginners or sensitive skin, too.

But it doesn’t it soaks is so well! Defo would repurchase!

Brilliant. Great for fine lines.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From experience I would start with a little and build up usage to avoid irritation. Little residue and superb performance. This is strong stuff so make sure you follow the instructions. My skin looks great.

Lovely cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product but does not really smell that good smells like chemicals a little. It is a little oily but leaves the face feeling great and firm. Absorbs into the skin very quickly. Overall lovely product but would be better with a scent

Gentle and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum is lovely gentle effective and works. Teh texture is gel like making it easy to apply with your fingertips onto dampened skin after cleansing. You only need a tiny amount for your whole face it absorbs quickly without tackies. It leaves skin feeling soft supple hydrated with a natural healthy glow. I have sensitive skin and have had no reaction to this product. My skin looks so much better after application i apply my moisturiser with SPF and my skin looks natural healthy and glowing
