Revitalise the skin for a fresher-looking appearance with The Ordinary Retinoid 5% In Squalane, a high-strength yet low-irritation serum that works to soften the look of fine lines and other unwanted signs of ageing.
This serum features granactive retinoid, a next-generation retinoid active technology that avoids the irritation to the skin commonly produced by retinoid use. As such, the inclusion of a 5% concentrate of the advanced granactive retinoid works to prevent redness and flaking after application.
This highly stable and water-free solution of all-trans retinoic acid is free from silicone and alcohol. It is also vegan and cruelty-free.
Retinoid use can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation, so thorough skin protection is advised in conjunction with its use.
Key Benefits
- A highly stable and water-free skincare treatment
- Uses advance granactive retinoid for improved results against skin ageing
- Avoids the irritation commonly associated with retinoid usage
- Works to soften the look of fine lines
- Vegan and cruelty-free formula

Great retinol product!
I chose to upgrade to this product as I was using a different 3% retinol product and wanted something stronger. I'm so happy I gave this a try! The product has a great texture and goes on lovely and smooth. So far there has been no irritation with using it.

I really like products from The Ordinary. good value for money. Retinoid is one of my favorites, works really well on problematic skin, if you have oily skin you will love this product too. Reduces acne marks and oily skin with regular use. I recommend to try

Reverses skin damage
I graduated to 5% after a month of building up using 2% retinoid. The results are spectacular! Lines vanish and the skin looks less 'creased'. Usually make up is hard to apply around my eye area, as skin is less perky and awake in, but I found that I got great results as I was applying the make up to a more youthful foundation. The only drawback is that it makes skin dry - even eith the squalane - after the product has absorbed. I had to top it up with a heavy duty emoliant like coconut oil afterwards.
Best Use: Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Firming, Anti-Aging

Spectacular results
This retinoid delivers in spades. Regular use resulted in line free face and taunt, stronger skin. The only downside is that despite being suspended in squalane, it's very drying and I need to apply a heavy duty moisturiser or oil when I use it, but the results are so good it's a small price to pay.
Best Use: Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Visible Pores, Firming, Anti-Aging

Great for beginners
Used this when I was starting with retinoids and it helped control my acne! It's very mild so it's good for people who are starting out with Vitamin A. The oil is very lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin. I'd say it's good for mild to moderate acne.
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne
