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).

Čudovite izdelke ponujate. Veliko mojih prijateljic sem navdušila. V njihovem imenu in svojem se poslužujemo vaših izdelkov. Retinol ne je nadvse fasciniral. Uporabljam tudi izdelek s c vitaminom. Navdušila sem tudi svojo hčerko in ji za rojstni dan naročila nekaj vaših izdelkov. Hvala vam **** You offer wonderful products. I impressed a lot of my friends. We use your products on their behalf and on our own. Retinol was not very fascinating. I also use a product with vitamin c. I also impressed my daughter and ordered some of your products for her birthday. thank you

Quite greasy
I know this is an oil formula, but I found that it doesn't absorb well into the skin and I didn't notice a difference in my skin after 2 months of using it. It was really hydrating and I had no irritation at all, so used it daily after my toner which was sufficient not to leave my skin dry. However, I prefer retinol in serum form so I can apply a moisturiser afterwards, which you cannot do with this being an oil. I would recommend it to those with dry skin but avoid if oily as it can clog pores.

Good product but caused spots
I have been using this daily for the last 3-4 weeks and noticed firmer skin with a bit of a glow which was fab. However I have also developed a lot of spots, and despite using it for around a month now, my skin doesn’t seem to be getting used to the product and stop breaking out. I’ll continue using it for now but might not buy another if my skin continues to react with breakouts

Fantastic product!
Never had a beauty regime as I have sensitive skin and I’m prone to outbreaks. The Ordinary was recommended by a friend and I love it! I’ve had zero break outs and have lovely clear skin. I can’t recommend this brand enough. I’ve hone on to buy quite a few other products which I’d say are 5*

Doesn’t do anything
Bought this product with the hope that it could help with my acne scars and breakouts. I have seen no visible reduction in my scarring and instead I have experienced breakouts of whiteheads due to the fact this product is so oily. Has also done nothing for my pores or textural problems. Never again going to purchase from the Ordinary - they don’t live up to what they promise.

Love this
I am 25 so am more using this for all the benefits other than reducing wrinkles. But regardless, this is fantastic! Even after just one use my skin looked plumper and firmer and now using it twice a week and the difference is amazing. My family have also noticed and can tell that I have changed something in my routine. I love this!

Excellent product
Love this stuff so much! Used the 0.5% first for my skin to build a tolerance. After only a week or so use the redness on my cheeks had gone and my skin feels better than ever. Such good quality at an incredibly low price. Definitely worth trying! Thank you x

So pleased
This is my first time using retinol and to be honest I picked the ordinary because of the price. I started twice a week the first week, then every other night the second week and am now on every night. I have had no adverse effects. This week 3 people have told me how well I looked! I have noticed a significant change in my open pores. I think it’s too early to say about wrinkles but my skin is definitely looking better already. Once this runs out I may go onto the 2%. It’s a thumbs up from me

really nice
I've been using it for about a month and I think I already see some evening out of skin tone. It's also really hydrating and pleasant to use.
