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.

Key Benefits

  • Works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and general skin ageing
  • Promotes healthier-looking skin while minimising the look of blemishes
  • Water and silicone-free solution with 1% retinol
  • Vitamin A-rich retinol helps minimise signs of hyperpigmentation
  • Vegan and cruelty-free

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

Time to move up to 1%

I have gone through 2 of the .5% retinol bottles and am now ready to increase the potency. I have read a few reviews that made me want to write my own. Retinol products are strong. They have the power to change your skin. I use a variety of skin care products and alternate between The Ordinary vitamin C with HA beads and a prescription tretinoin cream at night, followed by a night cream to prevent that dry feeling. During the day I usually use The Ordinary .5 serum but now I am ippibg the potency to the 1% serum. I live hiw it gludes on and that I can apply concealer over tge top of it. Once in a while I use The Ordinary peeling solution. It takes a few days before I see my skin start to slough off, and then I buff it with a mild cleanser. I do not use these products every single day and night. Sometimes I just wash and moisturize. About 4-5 times a week feels like plenty and keeps my skin looking good. I am currently in my 70th revolution around the sun. I worshipped the sun in my youth, and am so thankful for these products that help to undo the sun’s damage. The Ordinary has wonderful serums and solutions, just ease into them if you’re prone to sensitivity.
