Active anti-wrinkle emulsion

I recently started this product. I'm in my mid-twenties but wrinkle prevention doesn't come early enough! Retinoids have been shown to really work against wrinkles, but beware with use. Especially if you also use vitamin C products, these ingredients cannot be used together. Retinoids can sometimes cause some irritation on the skin, this is the most 'light' form of retinoids of the ordinary, and therefore a good start. You can always expand to a higher dose, but I'll finish this jar first. Also useful to know, you keep the product in the fridge! I use it in the evening after cleansing my face, a peptide serum, eye cream, these retinoids, and then I close with a moisturizer. I'm super happy with it! By the way, use a spf during the day for the best wrinkle prevention, even if you're inside all day!

Delicious product against acne and blemishes

This product has helped my acne, enlarged pores, impurities and pigmentation enormously. I've tried the ordinary's niancinamide, paula's choice salacylic acid, vitamin C and everything but this really works for me! Combined with a light gel-based day and night cream, this is the only product I need! I use this twice a week for optimal results!

Does not work well for dry skin!

I used this product for about a week, but quickly noticed that it made my skin very dry. This product is especially suitable for oily skin. For people with dry skin, the retinol in squaline is more advisable. If you still want to use this product, despite your dry skin, it is advisable to first apply a layer of day cream and then apply the retinol. Furthermore, it is also not recommended to use the product in the morning, as the sun can reduce the effect of retinol.
