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).

Affordable retinoid
The Ordinary's Retinol Serum 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle starting point for retinol newcomers. Noticed some skin texture improvement overtime. The formulation is not comparable to other high-end retinoids, but it's affordable and effective.

Doubles as an Oil
Lovely formula, sits nicely on my skin and I didnt realise it also doubles as a lovely night time oil. My skin struggles to tolerate retinol so this is a nice starter and I will hopefully be able to titrate up so stronger strengths.

Tackles stubborn dry spots
I use this and then a heavy moisturiser to help my dry elbows

Great for beginners of retinol
Super gentle, it's great for beginners on retinol. The only thing is it's unclear how much you're meant to apply to face and neck... I got through it quite fast because it's a dropper texture, and I'm sure sometimes I used more than I was supposed to. I've since moved on to other products which I believe have had better results.

Great product.
One of my favourite night serums as I wake up with soft skin. Also helps with acne scarring.

Haven’t noticed a difference
Maybe I need to be more patient and work my way up the % of retinol. I’m going to continue using as it doesn’t irritate my skin just not seeing any results after using for a while.

Great retinol intro
I’ve been nervous about using retinol as it’s quite strong and when I tried it previously with another brand I got flaky skin. But this makes your skin feel soft and looks smoother. I love it.

Good for price
Good product for the price but you have to leave this item in the fridge so often forgot to apply!

Love all products of The Ordinary. I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any issues as of yet. Would recommend the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution for event ready skin. Clean and modern packaging.

Excellent price-point and entry to affordable skincare. I've used a range of products from Hylauronic Acid, Niacinamide, Buffet, Salicylic Mask - they all work well and are great products to have on the go if you're travelling.
