The Ordinary. Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Previously Advanced Retinoid 2%)

Zero irritation

I use this every night. I have never experienced any adverse effects. It sinks into the skin beautifully. I apply a couple of drops of the caffeine solution around my eyes, this on my face and neck and follow it with squaline (all 3 from The Ordinary). This has been my nightly routine for months and I don't see anything changing soon!

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

Broke my skin out

Used this after my night serum and woke up with tiny acne bumps all over my cheeks and forehead. I stopped using it until my skin cleared up and tried it again. Once again, I woke with my cheeks and forehead COVERED in whiteheads and acne bumps. It went in the trash. That being said, I have about a dozen of The Ordinary products and this is the only one that I haven't enjoyed.
