About the Product

The The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a lightweight serum formulated to support skin renewal, reduce early signs of aging, and improve overall texture. With 0.5% pure retinol, it gently stimulates cell turnover, helping to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone while promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin. This beginner-friendly strength is perfect for those new to retinol, offering visible results without overwhelming the skin. Infused with squalane, a hydrating and barrier-supporting oil, the formula ensures skin stays nourished and balanced while minimizing dryness and irritation commonly associated with retinol. Its fast-absorbing texture leaves skin soft, supple, and radiant with continued use.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to cleansed, dry skin in the evening before heavier creams or oils. Use only once or twice a week initially, then gradually increase frequency as skin builds tolerance. Always follow with sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Avoid combining with strong acids or other retinoids in the same routine.
