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 0.5% in Squalane (30ml) is a highly stable, high-strength serum featuring 0.5% pure retinol.
A powerhouse form of vitamin A housed in soothing squalane, the Retinol Serum 0.5% 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).

Good retinol serum
This retinol works wonders on my skin and isn’t too harsh. It plumps my skin and leaves it feeling really soft.

Retinol 0.5 in squalane
This is a great retinol if just starting out with retinol - with the added benefit of squalane it is very moisturising - no irritation at all

First time using retinol
I don't have other retinol products to compare to, but this works for me. It's a little bit oily because of the squalene in it too, so I don't use it every night. I probably use this twice a week, I just leave it on my skin overnight. Sometimes I use a cotton bud just to put under my eyes instead of an eye cream. I haven't had any breakouts or problems with my skin since using. And I feel my skin is looking healthier and more dewy, but don't expect some dramatic change. I think these are one of those products that you'll thank yourself for using in 30 years time to keep your skin looking young, but whilst you're already young it won't change much on the outside.
