The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum – 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane – 30ml

A highly stable, water-free serum from The Ordinary formulated with 0.5% pure retinol to help improve visible signs of aging and enhance overall skin appearance.

This potent Vitamin A derivative helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven pigmentation, and support smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. It also promotes skin cell turnover to reveal a fresher and healthier complexion.

The formula is suspended in squalane, which helps provide hydration and reduce dryness associated with retinol use, making the skin feel softer and more comfortable.

Description:

• Water-free and silicone-free formula.

• Contains highly stable 0.5% pure retinol.

• Helps soften fine lines and wrinkles.

• Improves uneven skin tone and dark spots.

• Supports smoother and more radiant skin.

• Enriched with squalane for added moisture and comfort.

Because retinol may cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends beginners start with lower concentrations, such as Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, to help the skin gradually build tolerance.

How to Use:
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening as part of your skincare routine, after water-based serums and before heavier creams. Avoid the eye area and always use sunscreen during the daytime while using retinol products.

Important Notes:

• Avoid combining with other retinoid treatments, including retinol or retinoic acid.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to UV rays, making daily sun protection essential.

• Not intended as a direct acne treatment.

• Temporary breakouts may occur during the first weeks of use as the skin adjusts.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:
It is recommended to avoid skincare products containing retinoids during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
