Beauty Product Reviews

The Ordinary. 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil

Great Quality For The Price

This oil was my first purchase from The Ordinary, and I love it! The oil is fast drying, lightweight enough for my combination skin, and layers well over acid products and serums. 5/5 stars. Would buy again.

The Ordinary. Retinol 1%

Not Worth The Pain

I used this product a single time. Applied as directed, and within two days my face was burning and peeling. It was extremely painful - could barely wash with mild soap, lotion burned, my cheeks were completely raw. I used oil over the retinol 1%, kept my skin moisturized, stayed out of the sun, was gentle with washing, etc., but this was too aggressive for me.

I anticipated the peeling, but the burning and discomfort was way too much. Won't likely use the 1% again.
