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.

Helps with more than fine lines!
I love this product, I've been using it for years and it really helps my dry and acne prone skin, as well as fine lines. The squalane really prevents the skin from drying out overnight and but the retinol helps reduce my spots. Highly recommend if you've got combination skin
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Great price for pure ingredient
Love The Ordinary - skincare doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. I’ve had an on/off relationship with retinol (no reason), so I’ve not used it consistently enough to reap the alleged anti-aging/overall texture-improving effects, so I’m going to dedicate myself to the cause with this bottle. I’m using it as recommended (not loads/avoid eyes/take a day off) and have so far found no irritation and a nice glow in the mornings (I’ve applied it at night before my moisturiser). Will update in a month or two!
Best Use: Treat Redness, Hydrating, Reduce Dullness, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Firming, Anti-Aging

Great gentle retinol
I suffer with really bad purging when I try new products so I was very worried to try this as I can get acne bad. I did have some purging with my acne and my skin didn’t look too great for a few weeks, not as bad as I imagined though but after around a month my forhead expression lines are looking much more softened, early creasing has been decreased and my skin is looking so much more plump and even my acne hyperpigmentation is looking better! I can recommend this to those with slightly problematic skin and it seems a nice starter.
