Nice
I love this vitamin A serum:.. very effective on my sensitive skin..I know it’s little bit expensive..bt it gives great result after using for long timeGreat but a little sticky!
I have been using Alpha H products for over 5 years now and I love this serum. I’ve noticed a change in my skin smoothness since using it. It can be a little sticky if you use too much so use very liberally.takes a while to notice a difference ... but it works beautifully
This was my first ever retinol product and I gave up on it after a while as I couldn't see results and didn't know what all the hype was about. I've since added it back into my routine and realised where I went wrong. I wasn't cleansing properly so it was reacting a little with the Vitamin C I'd used in the morning as it hadn't been completely removed from my skin. I've now learned the immense v...Read MoreGentle retinol
This serum really made a difference with my skin. I noticed my skin was clearer, with fewer breakouts. It also didn’t irritate my skin at all. It is on the expensive side though, and there are other gentle retinol products that are less expensive.Great introductory retinol
I got this for my first retinol product, the strength is ideal for a first time retinol user with normal skin. I would still suggest that you introduce the product slowly into your routine, but you will start to see results in about 3 months. Very niceRetinol Love
Love this product. I combine this with a stronger retinol on alternate nights & have seen a great improvement in my skin tone and texture.Good starter
This is a good starter vit A serum. I found it easy to use and didn't cause any irritation.Very good
This is great lasts very long and works extremely wellNot too strong
I like this vitamin as it is not too strong for my skin, I use it also on my neck and it has not caused me any irritation. I feel that it is quite expensive though, and there are similar products which are more cost effective.Nice light weight serum
I received a sample of this, and found it to be a nice serum that did not irritate my skin or cause redness.Great introduction for Vit A!
I've used a number of Alpha-h products and this is my favourite by far. It's a great percentage to introduce vitamin A into your routine, for sensitive or compromised skin or to use nightly. It is a perfect consistency and absorbs nicely into the skin without feeling stickyOh
did not notice any significant change to my skin.Perfect Retinol!
I've been experimenting with skincare and trying to find my ride or die products for years now. I have normal-combination skin, which means I have acne struggles, a tendency to shine and often easily break down make up, but I am also prone to dryness, dehydration and sensitivity when overdoing it. Alpha-H serums & treatments literally never let me down! They are not oily, greasy or heavy in any wa...Read MoreOK
Did not irritate my skin like some vitamin A products but did not notice any significant change to my skin.Gentle vitamin A
I got this as a sample and it smells divine! Spread well over my face and woke up without irritation or breakouts. Better than some other brands out thereI have come back to Alpha H retinol for it's effectiveness
Something about the Alpha H works really well for me and I only need to use it 2 to 3 times a week. Skin definitely looks better, smoother and the consistency makes me feel like it penetrates properly. Happy with results.Non irritating, glowing skin
First time trying an Alpha H serum and I really like it. Great texture, no particular fragrance, and doesn't irritate like some other retinols do. My skin feels hydrated and glowing after use. Too soon to tell long term difference, but the short term difference is great. Ken to try the other serums in this range.Great product
This was my first time using Vitamin A. I have sensitive skin and had no issues with the product. Would recommend for first time users of a Vitamin A product.Gentle for first timers
I liked this product as it is gentle enough for every day use but the dropper/applicator is terrible. BYO dropper and if you're after something stronger, this one might not be for you.Good where to start.
This is my first time using a retinol. It has a slight green colour and didnt have very much smell at all which I like. I think this is a good starter, It is not too strong. I use it only at night and I definitely notice a difference in the morning after I use it. But definitely use strong sunscreen during the day because It has made my skin more sensitive.One of the BEST vitamin A's!
With others, I see results over time, with this one I see a noticeable difference the next day... It has become a staple in my skin care routine! Could not recommend more.Really nice vitamin A serum
Ive got combination skin and this dry out my skin or make it too early. A very nice consistency and is easy to spread over the face.Light and Hydrating
As many said, it's hard to believe this is 0.5% retinol as this has such a wonderful light and hydrating texture. I've really enjoyed using this and at times don't feel the need to add moisturiser. Retinol is a long-term use product so efficacy wise it's hard to say, but its enjoyable to use and layers really well, and no smell! Would recommend.Average
I didn't notice much from this, but more than anything the packaging took away from the entire experience. My only thoughts are how god awful the dropper is! So much product I can't get out, I have to knock the bottle into my hand because the dropper is useless..I also think it's a bit drying, I've found other retinol much easier to use but I need to apply a moisturiser after this one. However for...Read MoreLight and Quick
This is a really enjoyable product to use. The dropper dispenses a liquid which is easily abosorbed and doesnot leave a sticky or tacky feeling. No irritation for a reasonably high level of Vit A. Hard to tell if there is an improvement and Vitamin A takes a while. Good price point and I like that its an Aussie company with research backing!Loving this!
Such a great Vitamin A.! Firstly I LOVE the way this applies, it feels beautiful. My skin has felt and looked a lot more hydrated which has always been an issue especially in colder months - this has also helped minimise the appearance of my fine lines. It's a reasonable strength for beginners or for those looking for more frequent application. I find vitamin A's tend to dry me out but not this on...Read MoreGreat product
This product aborbs quickly and you only need a tiny amount! Can be diluted and applied with another face serum or moisturiser. I've definitely noticed a more hydrated feel and appearance since introducing this product to my skincare regime.Unsure
To be honest, I didn't notice too much after using the bottle of this Vitamin A. I know it is a good one to start on because it is low strength, however haven't noticed much.Glowing clear skin
So happy with the results. My skin has never glowed and been this hydrated beforeHelped with some fine lines
Helped improve some of the fine lines I noticed around my mouth. Obviously didn’t get rid of them but I saw some of them slowly becoming less obvious. I really like it! I love this brand, very consistent with their amazing products!Glowing!
This product applies so nicely and I've already noticed a more dewy and hydrated appearance in my skin, particularly when combined with other alpha h productsOn the Fence
I'm on the fence with one. I'm not sure if it really has made a difference to my skin. I don't love it but I don't hate it. Will try other Vit AsGood first timer retinol
If you’re new to using retinol or a little bit worried about using it, this would be your go-to. It has a wonderful consistency, gentle but works well. If you’re like me and dabbled in retinol before this may not be your favourite option however I do use it when I feel like a more gentle retinol. I would purchase again.Smoothing
Smells lovely and definitely helped with skin texture. A good vitamin A serum to start with before stepping up to a stronger formula.One of my faves!
This is one of my favourite serums. It has beautiful consistency and smell. It plumps my skin up almost instantly. It works wonders when I apply it in the evenings before my Liquid Gold 24 Hour Moisture Repair Cream - Fine lines fill in completely, and my skin has a beautiful smooth finish. I've only been using it a couple weeks, but I'm excited to see what it does long term!Great intro to Vit A
Really good product to start my Vitamin A journey. Really gentle, feels great on the skin, and didn't react to it. That being said, I've finished the bottle and haven't noticed any major differences in my skin, fingers crossed for long term results, but I'll be switching it up to slightly stronger Vit A next.Good starter retinol
This product is nice and light and seeps into the skin well. It is a low amount of retinol so good for beginners, I have found it helps reduce my dark pigmentation from acne. Good product overall.My skin loves it
Texture is super silky and I usually apply this after using the Alpha-H Micro Scrub and my skin just loves it. I can see a change in that my skin feels more hydrated and brighter.Quite nice!
This product is a gentle intro to retinol. I haven't noticed a massive difference in my skin, a part from slight dryness and peeling when I use it.Great Vitamin A Starter
Really lovely, reasonably priced vitamin A serum! It is on the lower strength side, so great for newbies.Good intro retinol
A good introduction to retinol. I have rosacea and sensitive skin so I was concerned about introducing retinol into my routine but I haven't had any issues with this gentle one! Am only using twice a week but so far so good!Potent and seems to be good quality
This is the first Vitamin A I've used so have nothing to compare it to, however, I really like how my skin looks and feels the next morning after using it in a simple nighttime routine. Using lass seems to be more beneficial when it comes to Alpha H so I'm having to discipline myself to just use a quality night moisturiser over the top and not try to layer other products over it first.An excellent introduction to retinol
Having turned 24, I realised that I wanted to ramp up my skincare routine with the use of acid exfoliates and retinol for anti ageing. This retinol is very gentle and doesn’t make my skin burn, itch, or cause any real sensitivity at all. For good measure, I mix it in with a ceramide serum and a ceramide emulsion (all three products together in the palm of my hand) to ensure my skin has lots of moi...Read MoreNice product
I haven't notice any difference since using this product. Nice texture, soft and milky. But packaging is terrible, pipette dropper stopped working after couple of times of using.Good beginner vitamin a
I feel this product is for those who are unsure about vitamin a serums because this is a lower dose and buffered by a lot of other good ingredients. The texture isn't too runny and glides on skin easily. It's a slightly milky, yellowish in colour and absorbs on skin quickly.Surprised that my skin reacts badly to this product
pros: - lightweight texture, smells beautiful and doesn't sting / tingle on application
cons: bad reaction which appears two days after use
My skin has a huge retinol tolerance, I have been able to use much stronger retinol products and decided to switch to a 'lighter' product for maintenance and also because I trusted the Alpha H brand. Unfortunately I have a really bad reactio...Read Moregood product
Easy to apply but I don't see much of a difference in my skin when using this. I've nearly finished the bottle but I think I will try another retinol before coming back to this productExpensive for 0.5, but works great
Serum works great - makes your skin feel super plump, soft, and healthy. However, I think it's a little pricey considering there are cheaper retinol alternatives that also work just as well.Big yes
Switched to this product from the medik8 Retinol serum after searching for something a bit more affordable.
Definitely needs to be used religiously for optimum results but this has really improved my dull looking skin.Excellent starter serum
Loved this serum as the start of my anti aging process! Dewy but fast drying and excellent under moisteriser at night time.love it
I was using the serum for my night routine and for the instant results I can see how smooth my skin in the next morning, the serum is very moisturizing. I love it.Dramatic difference
I have only been using this for 5 nights in a row and i can see a huge difference in my skin. It is softer, my hyperpigmentation is less, my pores are noticeable smaller and clear. This is a really great retinol made even better with the aesthetic of the pottle and ease of the applicator and the smell. It gets a half star less because it makes my lips quite dry but nothing that more lip balm overn...Read MoreLove Alpha-H
I do love Alpha-H products so I have very high hopes for this product. I have been using this for about 7 weeks now and I don't see a massive change in my complexion. I believe however you have to wait around 12 weeks or so to see changes. So I am definitely in this for the long game. The product has a very subtle smell but nice. The texture is lovely. Goes on smooth and doesn't leave any residue....Read MoreA+
Really nice texture, lightweight, sits on the skin nicely. Am hoping it has good long term results.Great retinol for first time users
This is the first retinol product I have ever used and so far so good. I am trying to slowly introduce my skin to retinol as I have very sensitive skin that reacts easily and also suffer from mild rosacea. I have been using this one or two times a week so far, while alternating using an AHA serum as well two nights a week with no irritation or reaction. My skin looks fresh and clear in the morning...Read MorePerfect for sensitive skin!
I’m in my late 20s and have endeavoured to add retinol into my skincare regime. I have tried a few others, but this one is perfect. Great price, lovely texture and no irritation! My skin can react to anything harsh and this has been perfect. I use it every other night all down my neck and chest too and no reactions. Love it and will repurchase!Great!
I have been using different brands of retinol for years and thought I would try Alpha-H - I was not disappointed! It's a lovely texture, very light weight. I did over use it a little bit in the beginning and it took some time to adjust how often I needed to use it on my skin. Would be a good retinol for someone who is new to using it.Perfect retinol for beginners
Lovely serum texture, didn't irritate my skin at all which I was very happy with considering this is my first time using retinol. I started off by using this once per week and gradually worked up to using five days per week (I use Alpha-H liquid gold rose on the remaining two nights). I feel like my skin looks a little clearer and brighter, which is exactly what I was after.Great serum
This is a lightweight serum and is great for sensitive skin. I use this every second night alternating with liquid gold.Noticeable improvement in skin very quickly
I have tricky skin so had always been nervous about retinopathy. I bought this in the alpha h profile pack and let it sit in a drawer for 6+ months, to scared to use it. But since I have started (Every second or third night) I’ve noticed massive changes in my skin, mainly around my problem areas (nose and chin). So pleased, will be sticking with this!My go to
I love all the alpha h serums, they are really light on the skin, and I’ve noticed amazing results with regular usage. I find this is also really nice in the PM every second or third day.Gentle Vitamin A
I have used Retinol in the past and have had really bad reactions. After reading the reviews on this product, I decided to give it a go.
It's very gentle and doesn't irritate my skin I also have perioral dermatitis and I've had no reactions to this product. I use it every other nightGentle retinol
This retinol is non irritating, hydrating and gentle. It layers and spreads evenly on my skin and goes well under my night moisturizer or oil. I only use it once a week so I don’t upset my skins barrier as I use other actives throughout the week, so using it just once, I’ve had no irritation or negative affects. I’m not sure how effective it is, but I’m happy to continue using to see over time. On...Read MoreSensitive skin's this one's for you
Finally! A retinol that can be used on sensitive skin. Love this retinol and have for years. I have sensitive skin and does not irritate my skin. It is a must in my collection
A great starter to Vit A
This product is so gentle on the skin, other Vitamin A products cause my skin to be irritated and flake. Perfect if you have sensitive skin or are new to retinol.Renewed Skin
I got this as a gift with purchase and have since used this every second night as a part of my evening skin routine, It has helped calm down my skin with inflammation but also has helped with the texture in smoothness and given my face younger look. I will definitely be buying a full size bottle! Highly recommendGreat serum for beginners
I was looking to introduce a retinol into my skincare routine and this product has been the perfect introduction. The serum has no distinct smell, is lightweight and I have found it absorbs pretty quickly. No experience of skin tingling or irritation that can be associated with retinol. Decent sized bottle as well.Magic in a bottle
I have been applying this every night before moisturizer for 3 months now and I just purchased my 2nd bottle. I was a bit hesitant to make the 1st purchase because I have never applied a serum to my skin before and there are so many on the market to choose from. After receiving an email from Adore beauty recommending this particular Retinol for first time Retinol users I decided to give it a go. I...Read MoreThe best beginner retinol
I have tried a few different retinol products since turning 25 and have found this one the best one to start with so far. I found that anything less then 0.5% not worth even trying for the lack of effect it has, and anything greater would just irritate the skin. This one I have found is quite thick in texture, so difficult to use on it's own with just the recommended 2-3 drops, but I have easily b...Read MoreGood product
Good product. But I still prefer Skin Ceuticals’s RetinolPretty happy
I have only been using this for a couple of months so in my opinion not really long enough to see overall results but my skin tolerates this well, it doesn't sting and it's good value for moneyVitamin A is a MUST
Excellent for fine lines developing on the neck and chest. Skin has a nice even glow.
Amazing
It took about a week but I have noticed great improvement with my skin texture and clarity. I was worried as this was the first time using Vitamin A but now I wish I started sooner.Smooth
My skin looks so much better in terms of the skin tone and texture after a few months of using this.Must Have in my Skincare Routine!
I have been using this product for a couple of months, in my evening routine. A little goes a long way :) Have noticed great improvements in skin texture and hydration.
Will definitely be reordering this product!Good entry level
Non irritating and rapidly absorbed. Very good for an early adopter of retinol. I find 3 drops is perfect for my whole face.Good
Then after 10 days my skin started to show more smoothness and transparency. Then I realized it has been working.Good so far
I haven’t used it for too long which is why I’m giving it 4 stars. I am only just starting to use retinol and I have had no issues with this product. Feels nice on the skin, had no redness or irritation or dryness. Look forward to keep using it.Nice retinol
Nice retinol serum, I didn't experience any irritation and my skin looks great.A must
This serum is just amazing. It helps to improve my scars and pigmentation.Great gentle starter retinol
I have been using this Vitamin A for a few weeks now and have seen congestion cleared up as well as skin texture improve. Would recommend!Great product
I have noticed a difference to the evenness of my skin and diminishing of pimple/spot scars. I use a lot of actives but had never tried retinol before so was apprehensive and wanted to try one that would work but wouldn't aggravate my sensitive skin. I did my research (recommended by Caroline Hirons) and am very happy with this product - would recommend.Very good for ageing problems
A lovely and light serum that sinks in quickly. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles, pores and is good for acne and pimple prone skins. Good for stressed skin and any environmental damage on the skin.Quality Retinol
Excellent for fine lines developing on the neck and chest. Use after exfoliating with Apha-h peppermint cream. Then moisturize with a sunscreen. Makeup goes on way smoother. Skin has a nice even glow.

I have acne rosacea and this product doesnt trigger break outs. The vitamin A retinol calms my skin down. Love it!!Good starter retinol

I freaked out over aging and bought this. I didn’t see much of a difference after using it consistently, but think I jumped the gun. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone that doesn’t REALLY need it.I use this after my dermal roller!
I bought this as a serum to use after I use my lonvitalite dermal roller as it contains retinol to renew the skin. I use it in the evening and leave it over night.
It feels and smells great, I have seen good results with this product and will continue to use it.
Pretty good~!
You can definitely tell that this is packed full of goodness and vitamins, it even smells like its vitamin rich and its super gentle and soft on the skin!My new best friend
Using this since Christmas and alternating with Liquid Gold, my skin has never been better.Miracle in a bottle
This product is absolutely fantastic. I pair mine with the Alpha H gentle exfoliator mostuiser & have noticed a huge difference to my pigmentation on my skin. I have acne scarring on my cheeks and this product has slowly but surely reduced it. Will be repurchasingExcellent product
I have used the Alpha-H range for a while but this was my first time venturing into their serums. I have noticed a significant difference in my skin tone since using this product. Pores are less visible and my skin looks brighter and smoother overall. I'd recommend this product.
Like it
The Alpha H vitamins are great, you can feel the goodness in them and can smell the vitamins! That said, I have used similar brands that seem to be more concentrated or more mixed in together. Its hard to know which to use at which time or where on the face. But overall I really like these!Great
This is refreshing, soaks in fast, feels amazing, and leaves your skin smooth and soft. You can notice the vitamin A
