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.
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

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.

good value
I am a fan of the Ordinary product. This Retinol 0.5 is one of my favourite products. My skin feels really good after using it for a month. It can be used on even sensitive skin. I have tried similar products of other brands, this one has the smilier effect but a lot cheaper. Highly recommend it and I will definitely buy it again.

Amazing value for money starter retinol
So easy to use! This is my first retinol purchase and I decided to dab a bit under my eyes and let it absorb after I've cleansed my skin , before moisturising with nightcream. I'd recommend using it in this way. In the morning after I've used the reintol I look more awake and undereye area is more radiant, fine lines appear slightly reduced. I forget to use it everyday but I must try to remember as it makes a difference! Great product for the price.

Gentle on skin
I was a bit skeptical giving it a go but I love other ordinary products so thought to give it a try and I am happy with the results it feels gentle on skin and absorb nicely. Didn’t notice any irritation I use it every other day night time and it’s a good retinol with good value for money.
Best Use: Treat Pigmentation / Dark Spots, Hydrating, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Firming, Anti-Aging

Great
As I always say to everyone who is just starting to use retinols, go low. This is a brilliant product but it’s for someone who has been on retinols for a while as it’s a very high concentration. Work towards it!
Best Use: Anti-Aging
