Description

Retinol 1% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 1% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this expert-level formula is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that enhances surface-level hydration and helps combat the dryness that can be associated with retinol use. The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.

  • Game Changer for my nighttime routine.
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
TLDR; AMAZINF product- I absolutely would recommend. -target my fine lines and wrinkle -skin feels nourished and looks rejuvenated and plump -younger looking skin -doesn’t break me out -plays nice with my other products of other brands. -only a few drops needed and spreads across face easily. -bottle lasts a good while I heard the stories is what retinol could do but didn’t think it would do this much. My skin is breakout prone, and this didn’t break me out. What it did do was make my skin feel AMAZING. It felt soft, hydrated and nourished and looked even better. I added this to my nighttime routine and waking up in the morning my skin looks nourishes and plump. After a week of consistent use, my fine lines and crows feet really started to fade and now a month barely visible. The only down side for me is my skin seems more prone to sunburn, but spf is already important so it’s not a big deal for me. All in all I would recommend this product. The price and results for me are unbeatable. ... show more

  • Best product I have ever put on my face
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My pores shrunk within a couple of days of using this, my skin is much softer, I’ve tried a lot to shrink my pores and make my skin look healthy and so far this is the only thing that has worked. I can’t explain the scent to you, it’s not horrible, but it doesn’t smell like cupcakes. It’s also very oily, but I think it’s because you only need a couple of drops but if you can get past that, this stuff is AMAZING. ... show more

  • Great brand great product
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After integrating retinol into my skincare routine, I initially didn't notice significant changes. However, over time, I've observed that my skin has become noticeably more radiant and firmer. While I can't pinpoint whether these improvements are solely due to the retinol or the overall routine, I'm impressed with the results and plan to continue using it. One standout feature is the applicator, which I love for its ease of use and precision ... show more

  • The Scent is a Little Off
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently incorporated The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane into my skincare routine, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for me! First and foremost, let's talk about the results. This product has truly transformed the texture and appearance of my skin. The potent 1% retinol formula works wonders on fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, leaving my complexion looking smoother, brighter, and more youthful. What sets this retinol apart is the inclusion of squalane, a lightweight and non-greasy oil that helps to moisturize and nourish the skin. This combination ensures that my skin stays hydrated and supple, even as the retinol works its magic. I also appreciate the thoughtful packaging of this product. The opaque glass bottle helps to protect the retinol from light and air exposure, ensuring its stability and efficacy. Plus, the dropper dispenser makes it easy to dispense just the right amount of product without any waste. One of the things I love most about The Ordinary is their commitment to transparency and affordability. This retinol serum delivers powerful results without breaking the bank, making it accessible to everyone who wants to incorporate retinol into their skincare routine. Another thing worth mentioning is the minimal irritation I experienced while using this product. Despite the high concentration of retinol, the squalane helps to buffer the formula, reducing the risk of redness, flakiness, or sensitivity. Of course, it's always important to patch test and start slowly when introducing retinol into your routine, but I found this product to be surprisingly gentle. Overall, The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane has exceeded my expectations in every way. It delivers powerful anti-aging benefits, hydrates and nourishes the skin, and does so at an unbeatable price point. If you're looking to incorporate retinol into your skincare routine, I highly recommend giving this product a try! ... show more

  • Huge difference
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this about a year ago for several months and loved it. Ran out and kept forgetting to order it, ended up buying a few other things and using those, so stopped for a few months. Kept feeling like my skin looked bad, I looked tired all of the time, etc. I just ordered it again a few weeks ago and I cannot believe the difference! Within two or so weeks my skin looks a million times better, more youthful, nice glow. I’ll never use anything else again, hands down best skin care face serum or cream Ive ever used. I never write reviews but felt compelled with how awesome this stuff is. It does burn a bit as your skin builds tolerance to it (which it indicates on the bottle this may happen), but definitely worth it. ... show more

  • A good retinol for the price.
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have only been using this product for a couple of weeks now in one day a week only since I have sensitive skin. So far so good. I’ve had no breakouts or redness caused by it.

  • This stuff is great for dry skin
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I apply this to my face every night and it makes my skin feel so soft. I have dry and sensitive skin and this stuff hasn’t irritated my skin. I have used it for around a month now.

  • Powerful stuff
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I admittedly think I put this on a bit heavy handed for the first use, but it gave me a raging chemical burn in the fold of my skin during the night (read-double chin injury!). My skin can run sensitive sometimes so what doesn’t work for me may be fine for someone else. Just an FYI.
