Description
The Ordinary Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane is a water-free formula featuring 1% retinol, an advanced concentration designed to address visible signs of aging. This potent ingredient works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by collagen and elastin loss while enhancing skin texture and tone. Supported by squalane, a skin-identical hydrating agent, this formula helps to mitigate the dryness often associated with retinol use, leaving skin feeling smoother and replenished.
A high-strength retinol serum specifically formulated to target advanced signs of aging, uneven tone, and textural irregularities.
Key Ingredients
- Retinol (1%): Promotes collagen production, improves skin texture, and reduces signs of aging.
- Squalane: Hydrates and nourishes the skin while supporting its natural barrier function.
The Ordinary Tip
Begin your retinol journey with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, allowing your skin to build tolerance before progressing to stronger formulations like Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. For those with sensitive skin, consider opting for gentler, next-generation retinoid technologies, such as Granactive Retinoid 2%, which provide similar benefits with reduced potential for irritation.
Important Notes:
- Store the product in the refrigerator after opening and use within three months.
- Retinol can cause redness, peeling, and irritation, particularly in the early stages.
- Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and consult with a healthcare provider if unsure.

Powered by 1% retinol and skin-nourishing squalane, it works to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote a smoother, healthier complexion.

Always follow with sun protection and proper storage for optimal results.
