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.

The ordinary retinol is the best
Maybe because it's in squalane, but it's hands down the absolute best

3rd time repurchasing
Works amazing with the Body Shops Vitamin C serum. Use the retinol at night and the vitamin c in the morning. Makes my skin so clear and soft!

Really good
Moved up from the 0.5% and can definitely feel the difference. Perfect for 3x weekly use when you get used to it.

Gentle but effective solution
Was using the lower percentage version before purchasing this. Have used 3 or 4 times now and find product is just as gentle but effective as the lower percentage.

Glowing!
Been using this product daily (evenings only) and I’ve noticed my skin has improved. It appears brighter and my pores appear less noticeable. I’ve not experienced any sensitivity or discomfort so far.

Highly recommend as a starter
This started me into my retinol journey! I wanted a low dose to start and this did wonders. No irritation at all, made my skin glowy and works just as well as any of the other high-priced retinols. Only reason I won't repurchase is because I moved onto the higher dose

Not a fan
Didn’t like this product. It’s quite oily & didn't sit well on my skin. Didn’t seem to absorb into the skin so then just layering more product over it an hour later. Let for ages to see if it would absorb but no joy.

Must have
Retinol is a must have in your skincare routine and this is really good quality, especially given the price. Just always make sure to start at a low concentration (e.g. 0.5%) if you haven't used retinol before and work your way up, make sure the skin is dry when applying and pat into the skin!
