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).

Gentle but effective
Really like the texture of this and how easily it sinks in to the skin. I actually use it on my body on areas where I have some hyperpigmentation and it has actually helped to even out my skin. I have repurchased this multiple times over the past year thanks to the great price.

Great starter retinol
Can’t go wrong with this! It’s affordable and good quality. Does exactly what it claims to do, easily to use. Only criticism with The Ordinary as a whole is it can be difficult to get hold of at times as products sell out so definitely snap things up when you see them!

Gentle&Effective
I bought this to use on my neck that got irritated by stronger retinoids and really loved the texture and effect. As my neck and chest now tolerate the Adapalene I use on my face, this has become a hand cream to the back of my hands. It really helps fade the sun spots I'm prone to, when used consistently and with sunscreen. Would suggest to anyone new to the retinoid game or for more sensitive skin

Excellent retinol serum.
I am 77 years old and have fine line and wrinkles! My go to treatment is retinol. I have used several different makes in recent years but find this one best. The squalane also acts to hydrate my skin. The two together work very well feeding my skin and reducing wrinkles. I use this at night following cleansing and I top off with another moisturiser.

Trusted staple of my skincare routine
Excellent retinol product and affordable as well. Initial skin irritation does happen when starting to use but the squalane does help with the long-term drying effects.
