The Ordinary's Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is a very high strength retinoid formula that rapidly firms and smooths skin, while noticeably reducing the appearance of dark spots. It helps refine skin texture, while targeting uneven tone and boosting luminosity for brighter, more even-looking skin.
Benefits
- Firms and smooths skin after 2 uses*
- *(after 1x week usage for 2 weeks)
Key Ingredients
- Encapsulated Retinal
- Synthetic Oat Analogues
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin. Apply a moisturizer afterwards. Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day.
*Before first use, gently tap the bottom of the packaging on a hard surface to allow product to dispense properly*

Disappointing
I received this product as a gift from a friend. Apon first look, I was baffled how little product you get for the price.

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