A Great Alternative for Acne Prone Tret Lovers!

Let me preface that i was on a high strength prescription retinoid for about a year prior to using this product, so I am an experinced retinol user. What can I say, this is the closest ur gonna get to Retin A results in Canada OTC! I used this product on its own (with moisturizer, a bit of HA, and sunscreen of course) for about two months and it kept my raging hormonal acne at bay, kept my skin smooth, kept my skin tone relatively even, and eve. helped a bit with acne marks too (I've got richly melanated skin). Of course, this isn't the same or as effective as tret, or my holy grail, tazarotene, but its close, and really helped to manage my hormomal acne. I'm also pretty acid averse, and never use acids as they've always irritated my skin, so retinoids are my first line of defense for my highly sentitive, acne prone, oily skin. This product did not irritate my skin (coming from someone with really sensitive skin; can'teven use SA), and I only experinced mild dryness (could also be that I used it in a dry winter climate). I would defo recommend this product for acne prone skin, and don't listen to the haters, start slow, do as much as your skin can handle (I got to the point I was using it every other day to daily just fine), and MOISTURIZE. Listen, most people reach for SA and other acids, not knowing that retinoids work deeper and are much more effective (according to my personal experince and my derms opinion). Don't knock it til you try it, I found my fav acne product. And if you're reading about those who got irritated, remember, this is for experinced retinoid users only. Side note: I got an extra tube for my mum, 50+ mature dry skin, and also an experinced retinoid user. She loved it too, almost more than her high end stuff!

Holy grail! Smoothed out most of my texture but I didn’t see a big difference in hyperpigmentation

This product is not for sensitive skin. I would also suggest if you have acne, or have acne prone skin to not use this product. Purging is normal to a certain extent, but this product caused dry, peeling, acne skin. No good. Retinol and even prescription tretinoin is much better and much more effective than this product. Noticed no difference.

Just ok.

It didn't really do much for my skin, and it kind of felt sticky. I do like the simple packaging and label but I don't think I would continue to use it more than I have.

Glass Skin Achieved

I have been using this product together with the other The Ordinary products for more than 6 months now and helped me achieve the glass skin I always wanted. It does leave a yellow film on your face but you can easily wash it off in the morning. on your face I

RUINED MY SKIN

THIS IS A HARD NO. I knew purging was a possibility, but my skin went downhill so fast and even after two months of quitting using it, my acne is still horrible. I wish I never used this product to begin with :(

(I was given this product for my honest review) and I really wanted to love it, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype for me. Listen, I had high hopes. This little yellow bottle promised “high-strength nighttime treatment,” but it ended up being the skincare equivalent of a ghosting text, not doing a darn thing. Yes the texture is creamy, but it left my skin feeling weirdly greasy and dry at the same time. Make it make sense please! The product promises all these fantastic results, so I waited, and waited, waited some more. Weeks went by, and the only thing that changed was my patience level. No glow, no smoother skin, no fading fine lines. My skin looked exactly the same except a little more annoyed and irritated. Flaky patches popped up like uninvited guests, but results? Nowhere to be found. This was giving big “I promise I’ll change” energy… and then didn’t. If you’re looking for a retinal that actually does something, keep it moving. This ain’t it!!!

No results

This has done nothing for my skin. I’m 31, with small creases in my forehead, and this made no difference after using the entire bottle.

It’s not for sensitive skin

This product was not good for my skin because my skin is very very sensitive and this product is super strong for this skin,

Still experimenting

I’m very new to skin care — so far so good. This product is not irritating my skin but the only complaint I have is that I have difficulty sleeping. I’m not sure if it’s I’m still not used to products on my face. But I’m still going to give this a try.

I tried to give this a try. But my skin said no, if you have really sensitive skin start with a gentle retinol
