Fight visible signs of ageing with The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% 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.

- Promotes healthier-looking skin while minimising the look of blemishes

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.

Yes, but... Indecisive.
There are other products on the market with the same potency, far less irritating and far stronger. Perhaps if it were combined with an element that helps reduce irritation, such as vitamin E or something, it could make an icomparably effective product.

Rash and reactions
I am wondering if the squalene is derived from fish product. I am having allergic reactions (rash), I have been using retinol products from a different brand (same strength 5%) for 3 months without any issues prior to this one.

First time retinol user
This was the first retinol I have ever tried. I thought this would be a good option for a first timer and it was lovely. I only used it once a week and then slowly built it up to every night now. Going from not using anything on my skin to this and has made a lovely difference.
Best Use: Hydrating
