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.

Good
I used The Ordinary Retinol for about a year now, my skin looks a lot better, some super fine lines disappeared and my acne is almost gone. I am not sure if this is the best one out there, but this + other good quality products I use in my skin routine kept my skin super healthy and great looking.

Great retinol
Never tried a retinol serum before this one only ever used creams, this is brilliant! It spreads really far so you only need a few drops, lasts ages!

Dry spots and wrinkles be gone
I got this for myself and would use a few nights a week. Untill my mum had a dry spot on her face and started using it. She is a sun lover by nature so she doesn’t need to wear spf after applying at night. She’s now obsessed too and her skin has never looked better.

Okay
No purging no peeling. But was too oily for me. My mum who has dry skin, didn’t mind the oiliness.

Great product
Have to admit that I don’t use this often as I should but it’s very easy to use and when I use it often I can see the results

Number 1 skincare product
Holy grail of skincare. Simple, affordable, and it works. Staple in my cosmetics bag. Vit C + hyaluronic acid + retinol is all you need to a glowing skin. And discipline of course.

Not an enjoyable product to use
Feels quite greasy on the skin and have been using retinol for a while now but found my skin texture was actually worse rather than better, made my skin look quite rough where I expected after quite some time of using it would be smoother. Fine lines may have improved but I have been taking a collagen supplement so that could be down to that rather than the retinol. I like skincare products to feel nice on the skin but this didn’t and smells a bit unpleasant too so did not enjoy using. I’ve actually stopped and might try another brand or not bother the results weren’t worth it
