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

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

So far so good, which is surprising!

Honestly, I've only been using this for a few days, but can already see a difference in my skin. I'm 35 and decided it was time to use something...anything on my skin (I'm the type that only uses water to wash their face). After some research I decided on hyluronic acid during the day, and this at night. I'm also a total dummy and didn't read about working your way up to the 1% retinol ;) Anyhoo! I have very sensitive yet oily skin and this only irritated it ONE time when I very sleepily put entirely too much on. Even then it simply felt like a slight, tingly burning sensation, which sensitive skinned people tend to be accustomed to.

Amazing Product! Keep me smooth and plump

I have been using this product for years, easily have gone through 10+ bottles of the 1% retinol. My skin is not sensitive to it as I have been using such a product for so long, so I would say start weaker and don't jump into this product. Its so silky and i love slathering this on my face, I feel horrible without this touching my skin at night. I love how emollient and oil-y it is; I live in a dry climate and I feel like it counteracts any drying aspects of retinol, even though it does not dry my skin out.

Terrible

Burned my skin, If i can give 0 starts and go back to how my skin was I would never touch this trash again. It made my under eyes dry and wrinkly and burned, this is honestly the worst product I’ve ever used. I would rather use Ross face products and this cramp.
