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).

Amazing value for money, truly
This was the first retinol I ever used, I started with this around 5 years ago & it was my only retinol for about 2 years. I think this might be the best retinol on the market at this price point. I never ever experienced irritation (or breakouts, or any sort of other bad skin reactions for that matter) while using this - and I actually got to incorporating this into my routine daily (and still, no irritation). It did not dry out my skin at all (probably due to the very high percentage of squalane in the formula) and I even used this around my eyes (with great results, and again - no irritation). I'm currently 36 (going on 37) and I have been using retinol consistently for the past 5 years; I've moved to stronger (& more high-end) formulas in the meantime, but I still keep this one on rotation, that's just how great it is; apart from a little texture on my forehead (meaning a few very fine lines) I have virtually no wrinkles around my eyes, or mouth or anywhere else really... and I firmly believe that to be the merit of retinol in general, and this little serum in particular. I do highly, highly recommend this product - but please do use SPF religiously (in general, and especially if you're using retinols or any type of acids).
