Gamechanger! Now my absolute must have

I bought the Retinal 1 after reading a review by a dermotolgist on Instagram & I have to say, I am blown away! I have been using it consistently for about 7 weeks now and my enlarged pores have been so reduced that people are commenting on my skin! I honestly can't believe it. Having noticed such a huge difference in my skin appearance using the 1, I am now so excited to try the 3. My skin feels much softer and is also much clearer, with spot breakouts now a rarity.

Seems to work well...

This seems to be working on my skin but I am not sure whether it's just wishful thinking?!

However, after becoming so repulsed by the sight of my ageing skin and refusing to be photographed, my partner took a pic of us when we were out walking last weekend and I thought, yes this cream has made a difference!

Nothing else I've tried has worked, so I'm going to stick with this and have bought some more to make sure I don't run out.

Great for beginner retinoid users

Goes on like a cream, noticed an improvement in the clarity of my skin after 8 weeks and mild reduction in fine lines. Stepping up to 3 now, can't wait to see the results.

Third month

I'm on my third month of the strength 6 for acne prone skin. It's made my skin smoother, produced fewer breakouts (in combination with some other products) and has helped fade hyperpigmentation so I'm generally pleased with it. I've been moving up from the strength 1 so it's been slow progress but getting there.
