Wanted to give it 5 stars
I have no problems with product. I haven’t been using it long enough to know if it will work for me. But why does such an awesome company like the Ordinary which goes out of its way to be so informative and transparent bury an important fact about this product. It has to be refrigerated. This is buried in small type at the bottom of the directions. Why not put this in a more apparent place on the package???? People looking to reduce wrinkles often are the same people who have trouble reading small type. Just sayin’.

Just WOW
This product in the evening and niacinamide in the morning transformed my life. It took months of treatment but my skin never looked better, never been softer and acne free as since I started using this amazing product. My enlarged pores are looking much better and my skin tone hasn't looked so good in ages. Truly amazing product, has done wonders for me where nothing else worked!

I love this!
This is the only type of vitamin A that I can tolerate on my skin and I use it every other night. It’s been about six weeks and I am seeing positive results. I hope this will always be available.

Great product!
This serum is wonderful, very easy to apply and well absorbed on my oily skin. It makes my skin so smooth and it reduces blemishes very well. I got no irritation though my skin is sensitive. Now I can't do without !
