I agree πŸ€— this retinol did wonders on the creases of my eyes. Helped me with acne as well and the SRP is the biggest plus compare to Inkey List πŸ˜…

Oooh good choices on both. I personally haven’t tried them but either one is something I would get.

Yes to that specific Ordinary Retinoid!! I just bought a bottle and it has been amazing. Zero irritation and it’s not drying at all, which is what I was afraid of when I was deciding whether or not to start my retinol journey. I even find it moisturizing and very pleasant to apply. Remember to put it on dry skin and introduce slowly! I’ve only been using it once a week but will soon graduate to twice then thrice a week. No purging so far. ❀️ Hope you get good results too!
