What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise this product as an affordable and effective wrinkle treatment, particularly for dynamic lines like crow's feet and expression lines. The consensus is that results appear quickly and improve with regular use. The main application note across reviews is its very watery consistency, which gurus recommend applying thickly to problem areas first, then massaging across the face. One reviewer suggests pairing it with other peptide products for enhanced effects.

"This is the first of these instant anti-aging products I think I ever used and I was hooked on day one. I love the results that I got particularly targeting dynamic fine lines and wrinkles those caused by movement, so if you're worried about the crows feet, the laughter lines, all the 11s, The Ordinary Arginine Solution is a really inexpensive yet effective way to target them. My favorite way of using this is to combine it with another peptide from The Ordinary known as Matrixyl for that like double whammy. The Ordinary Arginine is going to minimize the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles straight away. For under £10 you can get a really effective wrinkle treatment that studies now show reduces the depth of wrinkles by up to 177% without having to break the bank. I still reach for it, I still use it, and every time I do I'm still impressed with the results I see: smoothing out skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give you a touch of hydration too."

"The Ordinary Arginine Solution is a super super liquidy, like water, very liquidy. So the best way to apply it is to take it in your hands and then apply it first where you have fine lines with a thick layer, and after that massage it on your whole face. You can also apply The Ordinary Arginine Solution under the eyes. You can use up to half a dropper, five to six drops depending on how much face and neck surface area you have."

"I'm going to go in with the arginine solution by the ordinary because this is a super watery formula."
