Introduction

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a moderate-strength anti-aging serum that targets fine lines, uneven tone, and rough texture. Formulated with 0.5% pure retinol, it promotes cell renewal and collagen production while the squalane base provides lightweight moisture and reduces irritation—making it ideal for users experienced with lower retinol strengths.

Key Benefits

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles : 0.5% pure retinol encourages skin renewal and helps minimize visible signs of aging for a smoother, more refined look.

Improves texture and tone : Promotes even skin tone and a radiant complexion by enhancing cell turnover and fading rough patches.

Deep hydration from squalane : A non-comedogenic emollient that mimics skin’s natural oils to prevent dryness or flaking often caused by retinol.

Lightweight, fast-absorbing formula : Absorbs quickly without greasiness—perfect for layering under moisturizer.

Clean, minimalist formulation : Free from water, alcohol, silicones, and parabens; cruelty-free and vegan.
