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).

Very nice formula
I have been using this for about 6 months and the difference in my skin! I had lots of red acne scars as a result of not t looking after my skin when I was younger. I use to be very insecure but this has helped so much. Be aware that you might obviously purge (break out) when you start using this and also work into it gently (once every other night, moving up in frequency). Also careful what other products you are using (e.g no glycolic acid) and always use suncream!!

Great serum
I’ve been using this for a couple of months now, and I’m starting to see great results. I had to deal with a few breakouts to begin with as my skin adjusted, but my skin is much softer, smoother and plumper. I built up slowly and didn’t suffer any sensitivity

Nice
This is a must in my skin care routine, there has been a massive improvement on a whole but my issue is sometimes it can sting... It's extremely rare but can become unpleasant.

Nice
I really like this retinol, was a bit hesitant as I do have quite sensitive skin but I had no reaction to this product and have now worked my way up to the 1%. Price point is great, and big fan of the recyclable packaging too.

Wish I had used it sooner!
You need to persevere for a few months and use it BEFORE any other serums but after your PM cleanser. I can honestly say it has transformed my skin, I’m 32 and people are shocked when I tell them my age & that’s without make up. Bargain buy I could not live without.
