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).

Pleasantly surprised
Was really surprised by this given how oily the texture is as everyone else on here as said. However within literally just DAYS completely cleared up my acne scars and congestion near my nose and cheeks . The squalene in it makes it less drying than other potent retinols so that’s probably why I didn’t start peeling . Excellent retinol serum 5 stars from me!

Essential.
My third bottle. Worked my way up the different strengths. Dries my skin a little but leaves it super clear and smooth.

Love it
Brought this as a gift for my mum who’s being looking to get some retinol- I use a variety of brands for my skin but The ordinary is such a staple and go to brand - fantastic products that are just what they say with no gimmicks or false promises

Thin Feeling
Weirdly thin + very greasy.. I think that it's a good back up to sub in for your more expensive retinols, if like me you're on a budget..

Visible results
This is the only retinol serum that gives me noticeable results (even overnight). It is however very strong, and I’ve over-used it by accident on many occasions so you’ve gotta be careful with it. The results are very addictive tho

Like it
Really like the Ordinary products. Have been using their Retinol for a while now and I like to think it is helping. A DR told me that it’s a good brand to use.

Great starter retinol
This is a good product if you are starting your retinol journey. There are stronger ones available but for the price this is a good one and you will see some results

Good for the price
I have been using retinol a while but have sensitive skin so always stick to a pretty low strength. This is a nice product for the money that so far suits my sensitive skin & is an excellent price. It’s too soon to say if the retinol is making a difference to my skin but it certainly isn’t having any adverse effects. Would purchase again in the next level strength

THE ORDINARY RETINOL SERUM 1%
For the price, you can’t fault this as it does deliver some results but I feel as though they are better retinols on the market now. Texture is quite oily so didn’t suit my skin but would be great for any dry skin types.
