As part of a range it appears to be effective.
Deciding to upgrade my skin care regime, as the signs of aging were starting to get to me a little too much, in addition to 3rd party day & night moisturisers, then I started using this; having heard good things about the value for money vs other brands with retinol added.
Now I've started on the lowest %age due to the warnings about sensitivity & building up tolerance - & whilst my initial thoughts (days 1 & 2) on using were that this was perhaps a little too much of a homeopathic dose, it's proven to be a good call since, whilst there were no issues with most of my face, a couple of days in I started getting very dry & slightly sore eyes; & was having to moisturise that area several times a day to alleviate.
Two & a half weeks in & things have certainly gotten better though...
(& have started with just this, i have also added in the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% & Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution - all from The Ordinary)
...however the big improvements were from -
1. Moisturising after using the Retinol solution in the evenings.
2. & also using some of their plain Squalane - after all of the other potions in the mornings.
In terms of effectiveness, whilst it's still early days & I can't say that this is the one thing that's made a difference, the combination of treatments certainly appears to have made an improvement to the lines on my under eye area; which were the most problematic issue...
...but also has started to reduce the visibility of small areas of broken veins - to the level of not always feeling that I need to use concealer.
Okay, I'm not yet being confused with a small child, but the initial signs are really promising & in my mid 40s then every little helps... ;)
