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 1% in Squalane (30ml) is a highly stable, high-strength serum featuring 1% pure retinol.
A powerhouse form of vitamin A housed in soothing squalane, the Retinol Serum 1% 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).

Really helped my acne
I started using this one once my skin had gotten used to a lower strength retinol. In combination with my other skincare products (niacinamide in particular) this really helped to clear up my acne and scarring. Although it definitely did dry my skin out at first, it wasn’t anything a bit of hyaluronic acid couldn’t fix. I have no regrets!

Amazing serum, clears skin and leaves it glowing. Fine lines look reduced and have experienced no irritation. I've lost count of how many bottles I've purchased!!

Love
First time using Retinol. I am mid 20s and noticed some fine lines which I hoped this would help. I haven't had this long but can already notice a difference. Make sure to build up as it can be quite drying on the skin. Great value for money.

Fantastic retinol
Such a great retinol, doesn't make my skin flake or purge but definitely improved the texture and wrinkles, would definitely reccomend as a starting retinol.

Use for neck
I use this on my neck as a preventative measure for fine lines. Only issue is it pills slightly but I only use a night anyway

Love this stuff
Big fan of the Ordinary, their skincare is amazing and this worked a treat on my skin. I’m quite dry in places & suffer with breakouts and scarring and this feels lovely on my skin

Still under review.
I feel like this product isn’t easily reviewed, as it’s a product that works over time. That being said, I do like the product. Being an oil based product it doesn’t leave my skin oily for an extended period of time. It’s soaks in well and just leaves me moisturised. Also a great base to apply my other products. So for now a very big thumbs up!

Works well
This is my 3rd bottle of this stuff. Its the last step in my routine at night and my skin looks great in the morning. I don't have anything negative to say about it.
