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 0.2% in Squalane (30ml) is a highly stable, high-strength serum featuring 0.2% pure retinol.
A powerhouse form of vitamin A housed in soothing squalane, the Retinol Serum 0.2% 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. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

My first Retinol and been loving it since then...
I have combination skin and hormonal breakouts which started when I hit the age of 30 two years ago and I happened to started using this as a preventive serum first for the wrinkles at the same time (although I don't have that many lines yet). After almost 2 years of using this product, it's been part of my PM skincare routine. Every morning when I wake up, my face looks glowing and it does help to prevent some lines here and there.

Good start for retinol
This is my first retinol product and I'd definitely recommend it. I use it every other night and it has a noticeable effect on my skin the next morning. No irritation at all so I'd look to increase the percentage for my next purchase, but I'd consider this a good first step into using retinol.

Good start for a first time retinol user.
I purchased this product as I was starting out with retinoids and my skin is on the dry/sensitive side. I have to say that after a 4-week use, the product did not dry my skin out/caused irritation or sensitivity. The squalane and jojoba seed oil mixture really helps with hydration during the night and leaves my skin dewy and hydrated when waking up in the morning. Overall, I highly recommend this product if you are starting out with retinoids.

Not sure?
First time using retinol so I started very low. Applied at night like advised and I have used it with HA&B5 and with Niacinimide & Zinc both of which formed a pile. I now use it on its own 2 times a week and not noticed much difference.

Haven’t seen a thing
This is also my first retinol, I used the whole bottle but didn’t notice any improvement. I have acne prone skin but no pigmentation and lines. Maybe I just don’t need this product

Helpful in acne/pimple control
This is my first time using Retinol and wanting to be on the safer side, I has bought this since it has the least concentration. I have been using for a month at an alternating interval with ascorbyl glucoside (from The Ordinary too). It does not produce any tingling sensation or any mild reaction to my skin. I found that this is really wonderful as a spot treatment. I have been recently breaking out due to hormonal imbalance and this product has been a holy grail for immediately zapping my pimples away or at least reduce the inflammation on the skin. I would definitely buy it again but with a slightly higher concentration just to see if there is a difference on my skin

Very satisfied
This is my first time experimenting with retinoids, and I did not know what to expect. It took me a while to understand how to use this product. A little goes a long way, you only need 2-3 drops for your entire face and the price tag makes this product extremely appealing. I wake up to the softest skin ever. My skin looks bright and luminous. I will be trying the 0.5% after finishing this bottle.

Great for spot-prone skin!
I have been using this product a couple of times a week for a while now to help with my spots, and it's been great. I haven't used retinol before and I do have sensitive skin, so I started on the low concentration, but had no adverse reaction and so will be moving on to the higher concentration soon. The Ordinary's range is so worthwhile.
