Q: Does this product have to come with a sealed bottle or no?

No, The Ordinary products do not come with a safety seal on their products.

Q: Is this Organic? can I use this with vitamin E oil?

I don't see why not. I have and it hasn't done anything bad to my skin. If anything it makes it soft and smooth especially when I struggle with pimples.

Not sure if product is genuine

Hi. If someone can help me with this. The retinil is extremely oily. That seems to be all it is. Like a skin serum but oilier. Is that how it’s supposed to feel or did I get duped? And so I don’t feel like even using it. It’s as if I just put a thin layer of oil on my face at night before going to bed 😐Never used The Ordinary products or any retinol before so!
