The Ordinary’s Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane is a water-free, multi-purpose solution formulated to reduce the appearance of pores, dark spots and fine lines, and improve the overall appearance of skin’s texture.
Enriched with a 1% concentration of the anti-ageing powerhouse retinol, which is a derivative of vitamin A, the lightweight serum delivers visible plumping and firming effects to your skin. Another key antioxidant ingredient, squalane, protects against UV damage and helps to minimise the risk of sun-induced age spots, leaving you with a more even-looking skin tone.

Use it carefully
After using the whole bottle what I can say - I won't buy again, it's oily so use just few drops otherwise skin won't absorb, and don't use it near eyes

Potent, but gentle
I love Ordinary products, very convenient and good quality, and adore retinol. This one is potent, but gentle. I did not get any irritaion. I found out squalane is a bit greasy for me and I apply it thin on my skin.

Too strong for sensitive skin
I thought I could move up from 0.5% but my skins too sensitive for 1% and gave me a rash. i just use it on my body instead. Still Recommend for people who’ve used retinol for a long time.

Great product
I've been using the ordinary's products for two years and my skin has never looked/felt better. I use the retinol at night and the vitamin C in the morning. So affordable too.
