The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane (30ml)

A powerful serum designed to reduce signs of aging and improve skin texture. This formula combines 1% pure retinol with squalane to help smooth fine lines, boost skin renewal, and leave your skin feeling soft and healthy.

Use Case:

This product is perfect for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. It also helps to improve skin texture over time. The squalane base adds hydration, making retinol easier to tolerate on the skin.

How it works?

Retinol, a form of Vitamin A, increases skin cell turnover. This helps fade dark spots, unclog pores, and reduce signs of aging. Squalane keeps the skin moisturized, helping to prevent dryness or irritation often caused by retinol.

For whom?

Ideal for adults who are starting to see signs of aging like wrinkles or dullness. It’s best for people who have already used lower-strength retinol and want to move to a stronger formula.

Why is it best?

Unlike many strong retinol products, this formula is in a gentle squalane base that keeps skin hydrated. It’s free from alcohol, silicone, and fragrance, making it a great choice for sensitive skin users who want powerful results.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinol (1%) – Helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture

• Squalane – Provides lightweight hydration and helps calm the skin

• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride – A gentle moisturizing base that softens the skin

Skin Type & Concern:

• Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Oily, Combination

• Concerns: Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, rough texture, signs of aging

How to Use:

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle face wash and pat dry.

2. Apply a few drops of the serum at night on dry skin (avoid the eye area).

3. Follow up with a gentle moisturizer to lock in hydration.

4. Use sunscreen every morning – retinol makes skin more sensitive to the sun.
