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).

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.

I will always have a bottle
I don’t usually write reviews, but felt I had to about this stuff. I have always suffered from mild/moderate acne since my teens (now early 30s!) and have tried NUMEROUS products and treatments which claim to help. I saw the reviews and thought for the price I’d give this a go and I’m so glad I did! I still have the occasional hormonal breakout, but this is nothing compared to how it would have been previously, and does not last as long, the rest of the time I am clear skinned! Something I never thought I’d be able to say. It even made the texture better, pores less open and smoother, even friends have commented. I started slow with the 0.5% and slowly moved up to 1%. It can be slightly drying but if you start low and build up the use it hasn’t affected me too much. Something I will now use forever, and may even move up to the 2%. It’s much cheaper than most of the other products I have tried, and MUCH more effective!

Lovely product
I usually use raw rosehip oil on my face at night but as it stains the pillowcase, I use this product when I’m away. It sinks in well and doesn’t irritate my skin with the added advantage that it’s colourless. Might try a stronger retinoid product next time but this was a great introduction.

Great product for travelling
I usually use unrefined rose hip oil at night but obviously when I stay everywhere else I can’t as it stains the pillowcase. I bought this to use instead. From the first use I found it is well tolerated by my skin and still keeps the wrinkles at bay. I have used other retinol products without the squalane which dried my skin over time and I needed to apply a moisturiser too. This product is great as it does the job in one go. The bottle lasts a long time but is small enough to travel with.

Awesome
I have noticed my skin is more calm, smooth, bright, plumped, skin tone is more even. I really think if I had to choose one product from The Ordinady to continue using it would be this one.
