The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And the Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane (30ml) is a highly stable, high-strength serum featuring 1% pure retinol.
A powerhouse form of vitamin A housed in soothing squalane, the Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane (30ml) encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, softer skin.
This stellar serum works hard to minimise the look of fine lines, dark spots and blemishes, while improving skin texture and tone... and we'd be happy with that, but there's more. Supported by squalane (a moisturising ingredient naturally found in your skin) you can expect your complexion to appear smooth and hydrated, with any dryness that can come with retinol use being reduced. We've got heart eyes just thinking about it...
Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Retinol, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, BHT.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments and avoid unprotected sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter.

Great retinol
For the price, this is really good. I use it every evening and never notice any dryness. Though I have quite high tolerance for retinols and other acids.

Doesn’t do a lot
As much as I really want to believe it made a difference in my skin, I don’t think it did much. Some parts of my skin were slightly smoother but overall my skin was still congested and my partner said he honestly didn’t see a difference in my skin at all. I spoke to a dermatologist and she said ordinary products are cheap for a reason. I’d say if you have long term skin problems then you need something more than this.

Must have in the night time routine
The 1% formula works the best for me. I tried the 5% one as well, but it gave me outbreaks and felt heavy on my face, the 1% seems to be the sweet spot and my face feels really hydrated and I'm getting compliments how beautiful my skin is.

NOT SURE ABOUT RESULTS
I have finish my bottle of this retinol but I have not seen super results. Skin look better, but the fine expression lines are still there and they are not looking better. However I think that this retinol is good because it does not dry the skin (but I have oily skin).

Good product
I recently started using this product, I started with the 0.5% retinol and I’m very happy with the results I’ve seen good results and I didn’t have breakouts, dry areas or anything I recommend
