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).

Great for the price
Great retinol serum for the price. Takes quite a while to sink into skin though

Nice
I tried the 0.5 % strength and really liked it so have now purchased the 1%. These are great value and haven’t irritated my skin so far

Effective
I started with the 0.5% retinol serum which wasn’t enough for my oily skin. This, used every day, is honestly the only thing I have ever used that has actually made a difference, my skin looks smoother and complexion is improved. Also it’s quite thick and doesn’t fully sink into the skin - so to make sure it doesn’t rub off onto my pillow at night I put this on in the evening so it has a few hours to sink into my skin before going to bed.

Excellent
Really nice feeling formula, kinda hydrating too. Saw other reviews say that initially dried out their skin etc but I didn't get any negative reactions. In my early twenties so I don’t really have fine lines so I don’t if it helps with that.

Great results
I love this product, this is my second bottle. So hydrating and not irritating at all. Saw improvement in pigmentation and fine lines. Highly recommend.

A very effective resurfacing treatment
This is a powerful product. I only use it once a week as it makes my skin flakey, but that's what I want. Good exfoliation and a decent moisturiser and I'm left with visibly brighter, smoother skin. Great price too.

Great retinol serum for the price
I really like this serum and especially for the price, my skin looks really good when using it, the only 1 negative is being it’s a oil it takes a while to sink into my skin but it doesn’t break me out at all.

Intense
This is great for the skin but I wish I had known to start of with a lower concentration as this put my skin through it for weeks before I got results

Go gently!
I have previously used the 0.2 and 0.5% and I would recommend building up to this as I have noticed my skin has been a bit sensitive using this- although it has only been a couple of weeks. I love recommend taking days off using it. The long term effects remain to be seen but happy with how my skin is looking so far and it goes on nicely with no smell or stickiness
