Recommend me a retinol please.

Apparently this stuff works like magic and makes you look younger almost immediately.

Ive looked on amazon but am a bit overwhelmed. Any recommendations?

I use The Ordinary, and swear by it. As a brand it is loved and hated in equal measure on here - largely because of the rather unbalanced owner. But I think the products are excellent.

Thank you. I will go and look it up. Do you find it really is excellent?

Watching with interest!

I've been using A313 cream, a French brand which seems to be well regarded in France. I've been using it for a few months and I've been impressed with the results so far.

It’s something for long term use and doesn’t work immediately, you must use spf every day too

I use la Roche posay... Following to see what others have to say. With retinol, the strength/concentration is really important. The higher the more potent - but too high can react with your skin (and I believe is only available on prescription)...

Pixi Retinol Tonic
Mad Hippie Vitamin A serum

Ooh yes. Watching also. Ive been wanting to try the RoC for ages but cant find it in shops. Is it any good or are the other ones listed above much better?

I’ve been using alpha h for a hood few months now, think it’s 0.5. Can’t honestly see much/any results.

I'm using indeed retinol reface. I'm impressed even after a fortnight. Had to step up moisturiser a bit but definitely seeing improvement in lines and it's looking like it's fading acne scars.
