Reap the benefits of vitamin A with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% In Squalane. This skincare treatment is water- and silicone-free and helps to soften the skin while working to minimise the signs of ageing.
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 serums with lower concentrations of retinol in order to build up tolerance.

Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments.
Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure.
Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. If persistent irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician.
Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children. Refrigerate after opening.

Great Value
Great value and perfect choice for a starter retinol. I tried this product as my first retinol. I love that it is in squalene so feels very nourishing to the skin. Because this is a low concentration, my skin didn't have much of a reaction like typical retinols. I used this for a few months before moving on to a stronger concentration, but starting with this retinol really allowed my skin to get used to retinols and tolerate stronger formulas.
Best Use: Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Uneven Skin Texture

Bought out of curiosity
Bought out of curiosity as a little gift for someone starting with retinol. Seems to be quite gentle and no irritations reported. I only used the buffet serum from this brand but will try more for sure as I love the philosophy behind this low key brand.

Starter Retinol
This is a low concentration retinol that is a good one to try if you are new to retinols. I just use some every other night so that it doesn't get the skin too dry. I prefer the Drunk Elephant retinol cream as that feels nicer on the skin. However this The Ordinary one is very good value for money.

Very happy with this product
I love this product and use a little, sparingly, each night as part of my skincare routine. It really helps makes my skin feel nourished and whilst I've only been using it a couple of weeks, I'm already very happy and will continue to use this product, possibly increasing the dosage over time.
Best Use: Hydrating, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture
