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.

No noticeable difference
I bought this because of the hype. I noticed no major difference from using this product. My skin was hydrated after but nothing more than what a moisturiser does. I’ve tried other much better retinol products from other brands and believe that you should just spend a bit more to get something that actually works.

do not recommend
Itchy red rash lasted about a week after using this. Then about a month later a stupidly tried it again to see if it really was this retinol causing the reaction (used a lot less on a small em test area) and it became rashy and sore again. So I think it must be something that really disagrees with me. Defo do not recommend if you do not use strong serums already

Does what it says on the tin
I have been using this retinol for a while and then stopped using it as much and definitely noticed my skin became less even and clear. I have restarted using it and my skin has again improved. I have not noticed any reduction in pore size of find lines. I have never struggled with sensitivity or rashes even when I up the usage. It is very no frills and simple. Good price point
Best Use: Reduce Dullness, Uneven Skin Texture

Caused a bad rash
I bust be really sensitive to retinol. Ended up at the doctors and getting steroids and strong antihistamines after using this. Itchy red rash lasted about a week after using this. Then about a month later a stupidly tried it again to see if it really was this retinol causing the reaction (used a lot less on a small em test area) and it became rashy and sore again. So I think it must be something that really disagrees with me. Sorry I don’t have something better to say. I had such high hopes for this too after hearing so many good things about it.
