THE ORDINARY Retinol 1% in Squalane

Trying this since retinol is a gentler alternative for retinoid. The first time I apply it into my skin, I immediately don’t like the texture. It is heavy and oily. It takes too much time to get into the skin. I normally use it in the nighttime. The next morning, my skin becomes extremely oily. However, I could see quite an improvement in my skin. My pore becomes less visible and my skin looking tight. If only the texture could be improve, I would repurchase.

Im very concern about my my skin so using this it does help my skin to maintain or if not it maybe getting better . My fine line is lesser and same goes to my pores .But it is quite oily in texture . Remember to do skin patch first .

I was very careful with retinol, using it only twice a week. The texture is very oily, does not absorb, leaving my face uncomfortable after application. This product breaks my skin out, I can see small comedones on my cheeks. I stopped using and it took me months to clear off the comedones.

I bought mine off a K-Beauty website. First try, I'm in love with how efficient it is. I could barely see myself breaking out and my skin feels a lot better and cleaner. It helps with improving skin texture, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and overall skin appearance. The only downside is, retinol is naturally a drying ingredient so you might need to top it off with a moisturizer or facial oil to avoid irritation.

I had heard a lot of good thing about retinol while researching for good skin care. So, I'm not hesitate to try this product. At first, I did not use it much because it is oily and I have oily skin so it was quite uncomfortable. But I found a way to tone down the oil by blot it with tissue first before apply moisturizer. Since then I use it everyday and my face never been clearer and softer. I have a really bad acne problem before and now I only get acne during period or sometime there is none at all. But just to let everyone know, my skin never have problem with ingredient in any skincare so this might be different for another people, just try yourself first and dont forget to do patch test.
