The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane 30Ml

Thanks to the presence of squalane, one can start using 1% retinol directly on the face at night without experiencing dryness, as the moisturizing properties of squalane help prevent it. However, in my opinion, retinaldehyde—being closer to prescription-strength retinoids—can be more effective. It may cause dryness initially, but over time, the skin builds tolerance, and the results are often better. That said, retinol is still a great option when used consistently over a longer period.

I have been using products from The Ordinary since 2015 and I can trust them with blind eyes. The brand has set a bar in the skin care world and their ethics on quality, price revision and evolution is hands down the best. If you are already using retinol products, this 1% retinol solution is a steal deal!!

I am using this since two weeks. skin feels clearer and softer.

Niceee

Gentle enough for beginners.

Repeated buyer of this product

No expiry date and the bottle was half empty.

Quality of product will be understood after using. But the packet was not sealed. Will review after three months of use…don’t know it was genuine as the packet was opened.

Un poco grasoso, pero aun así un producto muy bueno. Mi piel luce increíble cuando me despierto por la mañana.

Ich benutze das The Ordinary Retinol 1% in jetzt schon eine Weile und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden damit. Das Serum wirkt sehr hochwertig und hat bei mir sichtbar die Hautstruktur verbessert. Meine Haut fühlt sich glatter an und kleine Unreinheiten sowie feine Linien sind weniger geworden. Man sollte aber beachten, dass es relativ stark ist. Am Anfang kann es zu leichter Reizung oder Trockenheit kommen, deshalb sollte man es langsam in die Routine einbauen. Gerade in den Sonnenmonaten muss man besonders aufpassen, da Retinol die Haut empfindlicher gegenüber UV-Strahlen macht.

Love this serum! Best retinol I’ve found for the price. Been using for nearly a year and it’s made my face much more firm with line reduction. Absorbs well overnight and doesn’t have too much of a greasy feel.

The oil does the job. My skin looks more radiant when I apply the oil every evening.

What does retinol do for your skin? Retinol increases skin cell production (proliferation). It helps unclog pores. Retinol also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance.
