Experience The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane—a high-strength, oil-based anti-ageing serum that delivers visible results for fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture. The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane potent formula combines 1% pure retinol with a squalane base, offering both power and nourishment to support smoother, revitalized skin.
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles : Pure 1% retinol accelerates skin renewal to minimize visible signs of ageing such as crow’s feet and fine lines.
Improves skin texture and tone : Regular use refines uneven skin tone and rough texture, promoting a softer, smoother complexion.
Nourishes with squalane : A hydrating base of plant-derived squalane helps prevent dryness and irritation commonly associated with retinol.
Enhances radiance & clarity : Supports fresher, brighter-looking skin with continued nightly use.
Ideal for experienced retinol users : High strength suitable for those who have already used lower concentrations (0.2% or 0.5%) and want to upgrade.
1% pure retinol—maximum strength for advanced users.
Hydrating squalane base to reduce dryness and flaking.
Improves texture, elasticity, and firmness.
Oil-like consistency absorbs quickly without greasiness.
Vegan, cruelty-free, and silicone-free formula.

Evening only: Apply to clean, dry skin before oils or moisturizers.

Start slow: Introduce 2–3 nights per week, then increase as tolerated.
Follow with moisturizer: Seal hydration to minimize potential dryness.
Always use SPF 50+ in the morning—retinol increases sun sensitivity.

I started using this retinol at night, and within two weeks, my fine lines softened. The squalane keeps my skin hydrated, so it doesn’t feel dry or irritated. Great formula for experienced users!
