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.

Amazing
Love this product my skin has been so clear after I have started using it, it’s not heavy and a little goes a long way. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Works for me
I have used this product before but once I ran out for some reason I never purchased again. I decided to buy it again and remember why! I’m suffering with blemishes on my face again and using a few drops of this at night time and then using a really moisturising cream, it’s drying the spots out and they start looking better by the morning! Love this product, and also at a great price.

Love this retinol!
I've built up to using this 1% retinol over the last few months (starting with The Ordinary's weaker options) and really love it. The squalane is moisturising and not too oily, and I have noticed a visible difference to my skin with it looker clearer and improved early wrinkles!

Good cheaper retinol version
Used to using Medik8. However have other ordinary products so thought I would give this a go. Light on skin. Haven’t broken out as I have with previous retinols.

Great hi strength retinol
I come back to this time and time again. I’ve been using it for about 3 years and it’s fantastic once you build your skin up to it. Number one retinol I’m certain it’s helped lines on my face.
