Has a very thick consistency and is quite difficult to work into the skin - definitely doesn’t glide on.

Great oil-free moisturiser that doesn’t break me out. Has salicylic acid and niaciminide so good for more oily&#47;acne prone skin types. Sinks in fast and leaves a matte finish which is nice for oily skin and my skin feels well hydrated after using this. Fragrance free so no risk of irritation and has some great ingredients for treating spots, acne scars and oiliness. Large bottle so definitely worth the money.

Not worth it because the scoop is much larger than the amount they recommend that you use, so it is very hard to get a small amount. I ended up using too much and after a couple of weeks my (normally oily and resilient) skin became very sensitive and dry with a burning, tingling sensation. I had to leave it a few days and moisturise intensely to get it back to normal. Just get The Ordinary 10% Niaciminide serum, same results but no risk of sensitivity.

Noticed dark marks from acne had faded slightly, and my skin produced less oil and my pores looked smaller as a result. Also brightened my skin in general.

You need to use cotton pads which can be wasteful, but you could use reusable ones.

Does exactly what its supposed to - removes all your eye makeup and leaves my eyelashes feeling soft.

Leaves a little bit of a white cast but not noticeable on fair skin tones. Probably not great for darker skin tones.

Doesn’t break me out and doesn’t make my skin more oily than usual. Once it has sunk in you don’t even notice that it’s there. Easy to rub in.

Don’t use too big an amount or use too often as it is a medium strength retinol and could cause sensitivity

Great retinol, fades leftover dark marks from acne and makes my skin tone more even. Easy to use as it’s a gel and spreads easily and sinks in quickly.
