The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane – 30ml

Product Overview:

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a powerful anti-aging serum designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Formulated with a high-strength 1% pure Retinol, this treatment works to promote skin cell turnover, improve skin elasticity, and target signs of photoaging. The inclusion of Squalane, a hydrating and soothing ingredient, ensures that the skin remains nourished and moisturized while minimizing irritation often associated with Retinol use.

Key Ingredients:

Retinol (1%): A potent form of Vitamin A that helps increase cell turnover, fade dark spots, and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
Squalane: A lightweight, plant-derived emollient that hydrates and soothes the skin, enhancing its moisture barrier.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Improves skin softness and smoothness while preventing dryness.

Benefits:

Reduces Signs of Aging: Visibly minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging for a youthful complexion.
Improves Skin Texture: Enhances skin smoothness by refining the surface and reducing uneven texture.
Fades Dark Spots: Helps diminish hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and post-acne marks over time.
Hydrating Formula: The addition of Squalane provides hydration and reduces potential dryness caused by Retinol.
Boosts Radiance: Promotes a more even and glowing complexion.

Who Is It For?

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is ideal for those with:

Visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Rough or uneven skin texture.
Hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory marks.
Non-sensitive skin experienced with Retinol use.

How to Use:

Evening Use Only: Apply a small amount to the face after cleansing and toning but before heavier creams.
Avoid the eye area and corners of the lips.
Start with 2-3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
Always wear sunscreen during the day, as Retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Tips for Use:

If you're new to Retinol, consider starting with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% or 0.5% in Squalane to build tolerance.
Avoid using Retinol in combination with other strong actives like Vitamin C or AHA/BHAs in the same routine.
Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the stability of Retinol.

Precautions:

Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
Mild redness, peeling, or dryness may occur initially as the skin adjusts to Retinol.
