The beauty pie Japan fusion cleanser (£9, 100 ml)

Their retinol HIGH-DOSE INTENSIVE BOOSTER TREATMENT (3% encapsulated) £20 for 50 ml

Wondering whether to continue with bp as I don't buy a great deal of other stuff. I'm on £100 annual plan but have so many points I could drop down to £5 for a while or take a break. So a few pound more added to the cost above.

Both products work well on my skin. I did love the Sam bunting nighttime serum more but can't justify the cost. I've occasionally bought some azealic acid elsewhere.

It's probably the retinol that I'm most interested in.

I'm on the annual £59 plan with £3,500 credit. I probably won't renew as I don't use it enough. For budget skincare Superdrug own brand is really good.

They've dropped limits I believe. I'm a reluctant user but I cannot get the alternative to some of their products. I loathe the company because they lie, they are patronizing in their correspondence and MK is an utter twat. They started off well and now are nothing like they claimed they would be.

The Boots Ingredients range is really good and I have actual results with it. It’s around £6 per product.

Also Primark actually have some lovely skincare atm and that’s even cheaper. The PS creamy cleanser is lovely and £2!

Missed that option; thanks

Yes I'm a slightly reluctant customer.

I compared the boots ingredients retinol and I think the beauty pie is better.

Use the Uber white powder thing constantly though. Just remembered I like the acid pads and also the eye brow pencil.

But I feel I could find others

I'm a former beauty pie customer, and I do miss the Japanfusion cleanser. Couldn't justify the expense for a company that annoyed me though!

Have a look at face theory. Their products aren't identical but I like them a lot. The pro retinol night cream is excellent (and often on offer) and I love the vitamin C cleanser (although it isn't quite the same as the beauty pie).

Ok thanks!

Paula’s Choice is very expensive here in Aus, but I believe far less so in UK. They have an amazing retinol.
I rate the Neutrogena Retinol Oil, too. L’Oreal has a retinol range but it’s very irritating on me. I would never pay full price for either of them. I am sure there are half price or BOGOF offers all the time.
I would look on iHerb as well. Just look up “Retinol” in the search bar.

Other than that, I highly recommend this one. It’s a gentle and soothing serum.

You can get it from other websites, but I have found postage from Olive Young and Style Korean to be amazing, reliable and they always have fabulous sales.
These two are stronger formulations..

Thanks for suggestions; the beauty pie retinol is cheaper for more ml unfortunately. Probably a better mix but I'd as happily go for sam bunting's which is around the same cost
