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).

Use on my body
I use this mixed with body oil or straight onto those areas where more help stopping the ageing process is required ! Also good for hands. Great staple

As expected
Happy with the product, just need to keep following instructions and this product is actually a godsend, may take time to build a tolerance, sometimes taking a break from your routine is also good. But this retinol is doing the Lord's work - skin is looking younger and blemishes are less obvious.

Amazing for the body
It may not be suitable for the face, but it’s perfect for the body. I add a few drops to my body cream a couple of times a week during winter. The skin becomes nourished, soft, and glowing.

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.

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.
