No obvious difference really
This seems to work fine but hard to tell Misleading bottle as the bottom is very thick

very good product
Good replacement for retina A cream. I am 61 and have been using retin A cream for 30 years and as a result, very few wrinkles, and it has faded sun spots and freckles. It is a miracle cream and I believe is the only cream you can buy that can works biochemically to smooth marks and lines on face. It started in the early 1980s as a means to end acne and they discovered that it actually had an effect on wrinkles in the areas where the acne was presiding. But the basic retin A cream does dry your skin out, and it must be used in just the right way by adding a moisturiser on to or buying Renova, which in the UK can cost up to £300. This product however, is much more accessible cost wise. It has the five percent retinoid and mixed with squalene, give a very good smooth application without drying out the skin. I use it at night and after about a week, already I notice a difference. It is an excellent solution to using the retin A cream which is only available through dematologists and is very expensive, less than renova but still up£90. In the Middle East you can buy it over the counter for 7£ only, I get my friends to bring it over.But this is no longer necessary as this great product, Granactive, is now available in this country. Buy and you will see s huge difference in your skin, less wrinkles, more glow, and less age spots. I love it

Sore Skin
I have used this many many times BUT this time it made my face so sore I stopped useing it. I wonder if bottle had been refilled as NEVER had this problem before and I stated I have used and bought many times before so very unhappy and waste of my money

Great skin moisturiser
This does provide good moisturizing benefits for my dry skin without it feeling oily.

Works really well.
Skin looked great. A bit drying as retinoids are. A bit of a pain to be so rigorous about sunblock when using retinoids but that's how it goes. This brand is a great price and quality.

I thought I'd give this a try for the chicken fox scars on my back but I got carried away and starting rubbing it all over my keratosis pilaris on thighs and arms one night and slept with it on. Surprisingly the bumps have diminished and less visible after 1 use. I honesty didn't have any expectations for this brand but im so happy that I bought this.

This is an incredible product; I saw an improvement in my skin texture, color, and youthfulness after only three uses! Most retinols are too harsh for my hyper-sensitive skin with psoriasis and rosacea. This product is very gentle for fragile skin and very effective. After only a short time using it, several people have asked me what laser treatment I had done! I wish this has been available decades ago, it has taken years off my face! I let it work for a couple of hours on clean skin in the early evening, then put on The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid Cream and their Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil. Great regimen! Wear with SPF 50 daily to preserve results. The Ordinary’s products are high-quality, effective, and reasonably priced. Best of all is that they tell you exactly what effective ingredients they contain, and at what concentrations. This works much better for me then products that just claim “anti-aging”, or other nearly meaningless adjectives.
