Helps treat: Signs of ageing and uneven skin texture
Feels like: An oil-like serum
Recommended for: This high strength retinol will help reduce signs of ageing and improve skin’s radiance
Fight visible signs of ageing with The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, a water- and silicone-free skincare treatment enriched with vitamin A to help revitalise the complexion.
The highly stable retinol present in this formula works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, photo damage and general signs of skin ageing. It also encourages natural cell turnover, helping to promote softer and healthier-looking skin while working to minimise the appearance of blemishes and dark spots.
As retinol can cause irritation to the skin, newer technologies now exist to mimic the visible effects of retinol without causing as much discomfort for the skin. With this in mind, The Ordinary recommends beginning with lower concentrations in order to build up tolerance.

Greasy AF
I hate this product so much, I ended up just purchasing a different retinol product. I bought it because it was cheap, there were good reviews, and it had different levels of retinol so you could start on the lowest one and work your way up. Even if it’s just a few drops, it’s the greasiest thing ever to put on your face, even on my very dry skin. After awhile, I couldn’t stand the ultra greasy, sticky texture of it on my face, neck, and décolletage in my evening skincare routine, and decided it was worth spending more on a good quality retinol product that didn’t leave you feeling like you went on an ultra lubricated slip and slide and landed in oil. If you’re on a budget, this is okay, but be warned, as the Ordinary’s products are cheap, you’re not paying for it to feel nice on the skin or for the experience.

Good retinol
I decided to get this one after I finished the weaker version from the same brand. I would recommend using a weaker retinol before you start with this one. My skin has cleared up nice and I am hoping for long term results, my fine lines are looking good and I will keep using this.

Great Product
Awesome product at a great price. For everyone saying it irritated their skin or caused burning, it's retinol, and a decent concentration. That's what retinol does/can do as your skin gets used to it. It increases cell turn over. Try using a lower percentage , use every other night and work your way up, especially if you have sensitive skin. Also, keep it away from the super sensitive skin on your face, like your under eyes.

Underwhelming
This retinol product promises results but ultimately fell short in efficacy. Despite consistent use, it failed to deliver noticeable improvements in skin texture or appearance of fine lines, leaving me disappointed with its performance. I would not buy this again

Love
Such a great affordable option for retinol, also particularly love the vehicle for delivery of the active being an oil. Helps ameliorate any side effects of retinol use eg dry flaky skin. Definitely has a bit of an off scent but completely worth it. Has helped with acne, congestion and fine lines. Use it on stretch marks on the body also but not long enough to really see a difference
Best Use: Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Visible Pores, Firming, Anti-Aging
