The Ordinary’s Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane is a water-free, multi-purpose solution formulated to reduce the appearance of pores, dark spots and fine lines, and improve the overall appearance of skin’s texture.
Enriched with a 1% concentration of the anti-ageing powerhouse retinol, which is a derivative of vitamin A, the lightweight serum delivers visible plumping and firming effects to your skin. Another key antioxidant ingredient, squalane, protects against UV damage and helps to minimise the risk of sun-induced age spots, leaving you with a more even-looking skin tone.

Let down from the ordinary
I love The ordinary products but this is such a let down, firstly this is an oil not a serum it’s so greasy it just sits on the skin and doesn’t absorb at all. I used for 3 weeks and couldn’t see any difference at all so stopped using it.

Love!
This serum is amazing. Great to use overnight. Lasts a very long time, great price. It is very oily, great for me as my skin is dry. Might not be for everyone.

Regular purchase
Did notice the difference going to this one from lesser percentage. Built up slowly over time. Fantastic product just be sure to not jump right in and build tolerance
