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).

Good product
As a beginner, I started with this retinol. It was good, not irritating.

Good Starter Retinol
This retinol is one I’ll always repurchase! I’ve given it a 5 stars due to its consistency, which makes it a tiny bit difficult to work with. However, I’ve seen my smile lines and the overall appearance of my skin become tighter and smoother. Would recommend starting with the 0.5 strength first though for newbies

Good but not for beginners
This is the first retinol I tried and I really liked it when I first used it, it made my skin (acne prone, on the oilier side, abit sensitive) feel so soft and clear the next day! But as I did my evening routine using minimal products, I realised *everything* made my face skin. I stayed using the retinol once a week sometimes longer and I think it causes my skin to become very sensitive. I didn't use it for a month, when I tried again, my skin is suffering (redness, increased sensitivity). I think this percentage may be a bit too strong for beginners and/or for people with easily bothered skin! But if you're a seasoned retinol user I imagine this is very effective!

It’s good
I really like it, it’s a little bit like oil. Use it twice in a week and I sew the different

Strong
It is better than other retinals but reminder that it is a strong one and to prepare your skin for that.

Great
I already feel it is making a difference after a very short amount of time. Takes a bit of getting used to having to go to the fridge but worth it.
