Very gentle formulation, so I felt no irritation at any point. As with most of The Ordinary's products, they make for a great budget buy. Only moved on from this product because I felt that my face was getting Show more

I have been using this for 2 months now and I notice a huge improvement in my skin. Pores, acne, comedones and fine lines. I notice scars heal faster.
The only issue I have with it is the itching it gives if not followed up by a good moisturizer. Otherwise its an amazing product.
