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.

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

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.

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

I was so hopeful now I am just disappointed
I am so disappointed this has not helped with wrinkles or dark spots. It feels nice on the skin which is good but I want my product to ALSO do what it claims to improve. And it has not. I have given it enough time as well, just finishing my second bottle. So now I am on the hunt to find an effective product.

Great starter retinol if used correctly
You don't want to overuse this product as it will break you out (found out the hard way) However, i still give this a 5 stars because you can feel and see the difference using just 1-2 drops of this per night (every other night to start). Plus! its not crazy expensive like other retinols
Best Use: Anti-Aging
