Evening all. Posting here for traffic. I'm looking for the Ordinary retinol 2%. It seems to be sold out everywhere..... Can anyone help??

I did see that one, thanks, but it usually sells for around £8, so that's extortionate...

Have you looked into Bakuchiol serum instead? Works like retinol without the side effects.

mnahmnah · 10/07/2020 21:12

Try The Inkey List retinol instead?

I'm substituting the Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalene, which seems to be doing the trick.

@H1978 that is the ordinary website!

I'm using the 1% now, but not having much effect, so was advised to up the %....

I've bought a fair few things from Amazon which have turned out to be fakes!!

doadeer · 10/07/2020 21:24

Have you looked on asos - they sell their stock

TicketToTheWrongFilm · 10/07/2020 21:24

It isn't their website. Its Deciem

Deciem owns The Ordinary.

doadeer · 10/07/2020 21:26

And by the way the Deciem one is the main ordinary website im sure

BobbieDraper · 10/07/2020 21:27

@Whatthefunk

Deciem is The Ordinary. They're the "umbrella".

Havent you noticed that when you look up the ordinary regimens, the site is Deciem which gives you all the info you need. Because that's who makes it.

The 2% retinoid is very weak. You're better off trying the 1% retinol by Inkey List which is £9.99.

I’ve just bought this direct from The Ordinary (DECIEM is the parent company) - still showing as in stock. I’ve not used retinol before so starting with this as it’s pretty weak.

Who cares if its sold out on ASOS?
Get it from Deciem. That's the official site. Its safe; there is nothing dodgy about it.

As far as I can see, Inky list only do a retinol eye cream. It's the serum I'm looking for

Sorry I'm new to all this serum malarkey....I'm using the Ordinary 1%, and its not really working for me, is the Inky list 1% above any better?
