The product is nice. It works well, the consistency is nice. I actually liked it a lot. But unfortunately, I won't be rebuying because of how bad the staining is. My face, pillowcase, and nails were yellow the entire time I used this :(

I didn't use it long enough to see any results because it stains skin and fabrics yellow, even if you layer moisturizer on top.

This is my first retinal. It was an easy transition, I had no irritation, and it seems more stable than their retinol.

It's fine for the price. It's not the most effective retinol I've ever tried. My biggest problem with this is that it turned bright yellow and stained my skin. I had to stop using because I looked jaundiced with it. Do yourself a favor and find a retinol in a better container, the few extra dollars will be well worth it.
Effective!

Truly effective over-the-counter retinoid! I see an improvement without having to pay for prescription retinoids.

This product made my face break out. I looked up retinol and it could take months before it would stop. Not taking it anymore. Would not recommend to everyone.
I love it so far!

I been using this Retinal emulsion for 3 weeks now and definitely noticed a defrence on my skin, it does sting a little the first few days but then no more stinging. It is gentle on the skin no peeling or irritation. My skin texture, pores radiance have improved. Thank you the ordinary for making this available to us. Please don't discontinue.
Liking so far

I've been looking for a product that has retinAL (not just retinOL). It is stronger and more effective against forehead wrinkles, but use with caution . Because of its strength, it can cause redness and dry flakiness.
Great step up!

After using the Cereve skin renewing retinol for years and results plateauing, I bought this product to take a small step up. I've used this for about 3 months now and my skin is in the best condition it's ever been! I started with once a week and now I'm up to using this most nights. When I have any acne/rosacea bump flare ups, this helps clear my skin so fast. I've definitely noticed a difference in texture and clarity. Plus it's so affordable! It definitely is bright yellow, doesn't smell great, and also doesn't spread super easily on the face but those are all things I'm willing to let go for the value.

This stuff is Easter-peep yellow, and it stains my bedding. I've used retinol products for years and thought I'd try retinal. My skin is not particularly sensitive, and it's in overall good shape. I spread a pea-sized amount over my whole face, neck, and décolletage, including eyelids and under eyes. I have not noticed any difference/improvement in skin elasticity, firmness, tone, or wrinkling with this product. I also have not experienced burning or peeling as some other reviewers have. The price is much more reasonable than the Murad I also tried last summer, and the products are similar. Overall, mostly because of the staining, I won't buy again. I'll just go back to my tried-and-true Lilyana Naturals retinol cream.
Will buy again!
