The ordinary has a good range.

The Ordinary granactive retinoid. I'm using it now and it is transforming my skin!

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 03/02/2018 09:59

Try The Ordinary. I've only bern using their retinoid in squalene for a nit but reviews are v good. Only sbout £5 too. Warning though it gets addictive all the little glass bottles they have for various things...I think I've spent about £50 since discovering them!

Is the ordinary in boots?

Haha laughing at all the x posts..TO it is then as number one suggestion!

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 03/02/2018 10:25

Only online, asos or Sephora have it. Think these a shop in covent garden too. Delivery isn't free unless you hit the 25£ mark but if you ask for a regime you might spend that much.

It's everywhere: Victoria Health, Look Fantastic, Cult Beauty, ASOS. Don't pay Sephora delivery costs.

LostInShoebiz · 03/02/2018 11:17

But also, BEWARE THE PURGE!!!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 03/02/2018 12:14

The purge?

The purge! I have never been prone to spots and had about 5 in the second week and bumpy skin. Worth sticking out though.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/02/2018 12:37

Fenwick sell TO in store.

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 03/02/2018 14:25

Those who have been using it regularly, how long till you noticed effects? Ive only been using the granactive retinol in squalene for ageing and my 11s for a week or so, using nicinamide and salycilic acid for pores and spots, plus hyluronic acid and their moisturiser for a few days. No break outs as such yet but just wondering when I'll see results. (Impatient!)

Maccapacca88 · 03/02/2018 14:52

About 3 weeks in for me. I think I read somewhere that it can take up to 3 months to see noticeable improvement depending on your skin.

Definitely The Ordinary. Victoria Health delivery is very efficient.
