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.

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.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
