Gentle and hydratingI wanted a daily retinol serum as it is one of the few proven effective active ingredients in skincare. This one is gentle, hydrating, reasonably priced and just what I needed. No irritation. I’m very happy.

Another Great product from Q +A!I am a massive fan of Q +A products and find them to be gentle and effective. I love the mighty moisture bundle which is great for my mature and slightly dry skin. I had always been a bit wary of retinol as my skin can be sensitive but thought I would give this serum a go. I have incorporated this into my regime starting at once a week and am now using twice a week. I have had no adverse reaction and my skin feels much smoother, plumper and with a bit more glow. So far I am really pleased with the results.

A great product with great results!I've been using this serum for the past two months and I'm obsessed with the results. I use it every other day and I have really started to notice the benefits. It leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy, and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I have dry skin and it works well for my skin type!

Great ProductI previously have been using "The Ordinary" for Retinol, but started transitioning to Q&A recently and was a bit worried about starting to use the Retinol serum. However, it is great. Easy to use, no bad reactions at all (and I have sensitive skin) and so far I definitely can see that my skin has maintained what I'd expect using a Retinol. As I love all the products so much, I am officially transitioned to a full Q&A product customer.

Great for dry skinI’ve been cautious about using retinols before as I have dry skin. I’ve been really impressed with this product and it hasn’t dried my skin out at all. My skin definitely seems smoother. I’m definitely going to keep using it to see it’s long term impact.

Lovely serum and think I’m seeing some resultsOnly been using for a couple of weeks but so far my skin is nice and smooth, and I
think I’ve seen a reduction in fine lines, but may just be placebo effect. One of their best serums so will continue using and will definitely purchase again. I use at night after cleansing then the 5-HTP cream in top.

the gentle and effective retinol we all needAs a longtime fan of Q+A I was excited when they released a retinol serum…FINALLY! I use this at night before moisturiser and I’ve seen much smoother and radiant skin. I’ve been using it 4-5 nights a week with absolutely no irritation to my skin. I make sure to apply it to my neck and chest too. Bravo Q+A for another brilliant serum!

It agrees with my skin!The serum is lightweight, I have sensitive skin and it does not irritate. I've just started using it so I'll keep at it to see more results. And the price point! This is one of my favorite things with Q+A products

Best retinol serum I have usedI have used a number of different brands of retinol serum, all more expensive than Q+A and have to say this is the best one. It feels nice on the skin and a little goes a very long way. Although I haven't been using it for long, I think my skin looks smoother.
