Hi, i have to ask. You said you started with the lowest percentage which is 0.2% Meaning, after consuming 1bottle of 0.2% you can jump to 0.5% right away?
Your skin seems to have cleared up dramatically over a month of use. The purging over the first week happens to some people, but not necessarily all. I think that if you layer this after with a fragrance-free moisturizer which soothes the skin, you will probably experience less of the burning.
I love how short, sweet and straight to the point your video is. It inspires me to try this out. I currently have tretinoin 0.05 but no longer have health insurance and wanted a more cost effective alternative. thank you!💛
Actually for the first timer you should start with 0.2 or 0.5 percent because 1% is really strong and gonna make you skin irritated if you not used with retinol.
Props to you for keep using the product after the irritation. I honestly would ditch it right away lol. I'm also just starting to use local brand retinol serum for my stubborn acne scars problem. Starting at 1.5% might not be very wise but since the serum has other ingredients so far I haven't experience any irritation except for itchy feelings sometimes after I used it. I used it together with 10% niacinamide from the same brand, ended it with a sleeping mask, I'm so ready to get my clear skin soon lmaoo wish me luck 🤞
editing has been v challenging for me at first because im not creative/artistic at all -but lately ive been enjoying the process. i appreciate your comment so much :)
Just bought the 1% retinol and i'm excited and apprehensive at the same time. I've used some retinyl palmitate for a couple of months so hoping that's enough of an intro to 1%. I'll still only use this twice a week for at least a month.
Any kind of retinoid TAKES TIME. U r quite lucky it produced good effects less than a quarter of a year. Some of us took 6 months to have good effects. Now u should be consistent in using it. Retinoid is a powerful tool with great benefits.
First time using The Ordinary Retinol. Went straight to 1% efficacy. Used it every night. I don't know what I'm doing but it's working. My skin is great! LOL
Omg can you plz give us some updates now? My face is absolutely wasted and nothing I apply on it works . I am now considering this Retinol 1% as my last resort, but I'm confused if I should start with lower percentage?
@@georgie740I started with the 1% too and I'm fine. I'd say my skin is medium sensitive (I'm fine with a bit of fragrance but eg these cheap skincare packs with unicorns and stuff burn my skin) if this helps you. My skin doesn't feel dry at all after using it and the acne purging isn't painful. My only negative point so far is that it's verrry oily and never seems to settle i to the skin. At night I just hope that it stays on. Hope this helps you. 💕🍄
I have stopped using this because its too oily for me. I always sleep in my sides and when I woke up, my pillow was oily. I am now using tretinoin or adapalene
How long will you gonna switch up to stronger percentage of retinol? I used 0.5 % of retinol since jan. 29. Should I engage to 1% now? Please notice me.
Hi. I'm using Ordinary retinol 0.5% in squaline every other day and it's my 2nd day and yet I still don't feel anything like iritation or redness or itchiness. Is that normal? I just want to make sure that I bought the real product and not a fake one.
Retinol doesn’t work right away it could take weeks to months for results everyone’s skin is different so that can also play a factor but for the most part it doesn’t fix your skin it skin right away.
how does everyone have burning and I can use the ordinary peeling solution for the first time and leave it on for 30 mins. I also use the retinol 1% squalene even thought it’s my first time using it I didn’t even get any sensation. Yes I guess you could say I have thick skin
@@LicaRica NONO PLS NO YOU WOULD NEVER WANT MY SKIN😭✋ It being very resilient also means it’s hard for products to work on it like how I try to get rid of clogged pores with bha but it just doesn’t work😭
@@joshi7434 I guess we really have different skin problems 😢 hoping you'd find a good & effective product for you soon. Wishing you good luck on your skincare journey ✨🙏
NO NO NO don’t EVER use the peeling solution for longer than 10 MINS and 2x a WEEK , it will SERIOUSLY damage ur skin in the long run. Make sure you wear sunscreen too!!
Sameee gurl. Just purchased it too. I've used the 0,2 % one for 6 months. Now i move to 0,5%. But im confused to choose best moisturizer to compensate the dryness
@@markdapucanta660 absolutely amazing ☺☺ best decision i've made so far. It helps my hormonal acne and cysts. But i used tons of moisturizer to compensate the dryness.
I've been using this for about a month now nearly every night mostly because I don't feel any type of burn or anything. Is this just super gentle or does it just not work?
Hiii ive been using retinol for over 3 months, The Ordinary 1% Retinol Squalene is an OTC product so it generally takes 6 months to see results. I have BAD breakouts and even worse hyperpigmentation, my changes arent drastic but it cleared redness alot. I purged during the 4th week (i really suggest taking it slow if youre a first time user), so I guess it just really varies upon the person and their lifestyle. But hey this comment is 4 months late, may i know how it worked out for you?
@@imgoingtowhoopyourasswithm9638 I actually switched to retinol from good molecules since I really didn't like how the ordinarys retinol would make my skin super oily and it just wouldn't absorb. I don't struggle with any redness so that's probably why I couldn't really see any results lmao. but yeah I really like good molecules retinol :) it's cream base and absorbs well on my skin
Straight to the point best informative Video ❤ I've used 0.2 percent for about 2 3 months and couldn't finish it before the expiry after opening only used half of it i was using 2 times in a week for first 2 weeks and after that i used 3 times and now can i use the retinol 1% serum?
I used to use Cerave cleanser but because it's been sold out everywhere, I've been using iunik cleanser recently. Then I use COSRX aha bha toner every other day. Hope this helps✨
@@LicaRica hi. What are the steps you would suggest to me for my routine. I have The Ordinary Niacinamide/Alpha Arbutin & also Cosrx Power Liquid both Aha n Bha. When do I apply Retinol if i were to introduce it to my skincare?? Wish you could help. Thank you 🥺
Thank you so much for this thorough review! I wanted some information on this product and this was a wonderful discovery! I will now go and buy some and see if I can have the same or similar results😄
This vid came just in time. Just a quick question, Did you experience purging from using the lowest percentage of retinol? And did you use it twice a week as well?
@@mim7234 I searched about it, and you truly are not supposed to use it daily. Only 2-3 times a week. Maximum twice on the higher concentration. Otherwise it will truly irritate your skin.
@@elysiumbordeaux thank you very much! I mixed it with my aloe vera (my everyday cream). Ok I will try it 2 a week! I juste heard that it can be used everyday as the concentration is not high, that is why I used it that way. Thanks for the advice, I will update !
Do you have any suggestion where I can Buy The legit The Ordinary Retinol? I bought mine In shoppe from the link on Kuya John Angelo's Vlog. Hope you can give another suggestion.
I started with the 0.5%, this is my third week now and my skin is seriously breaking out. New acne everyday, i stopped using it last week. I was using it eith the ordinary Salycilic acid, i'm tired.
Hi! I think if u r new to retinol you should use it once a week maybe for a month and then you can use it 2-3 times per week on month 2 and month 3 everyday if ur skin reacts good 😊 hope it helps!! You also need only a pea sized amount for your whole face, to avoid extremely dryness and irritation. Good luck! 🍀
Personally i wouldnt use retinol as an everyday part of my skincare routine. I only use it 3-4 times a week but if you are new to using retinol - start with the lowest percentage (2-3 times a week), then work your way up to 1% retinol. hope this helps :)
Definitely. One of the dermatologist (TH-cam channel "Doctorly" ) shared his first experience from using retinol every day because ,he's still a student back then so no knowledge about it before. He said that he feels nothing at first but as the days go he's face become red and super sensitive. So use retinol with intervals to let the skin recover to prevent irritations. And most important is to use sunscreen in the morning. To boost things up, use 2% salasylic cleanser in the morning to help get rid of those deep red colored acne scars.

Hello
Please did the product work for you?
I wonder how you’re doing now. But some retinol, their side effects come out after 1-2 months.
Does it smell like coconut oil
Retinol doesn’t work right away it could take weeks to months for results everyone’s skin is different so that can also play a factor but for the most part it doesn’t fix your skin it skin right away.
Can i ask, after using that should i use aloe vera gel before going to sleep?
Did you see any difference when you used 0.2% in squalane? I recently bought one and curious to know😊
how does everyone have burning and I can use the ordinary peeling solution for the first time and leave it on for 30 mins. I also use the retinol 1% squalene even thought it’s my first time using it I didn’t even get any sensation. Yes I guess you could say I have thick skin
