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.

Great retinol for the price.
As an avid retinol user (5yrs) I have built my way up to the ordinarys 1 percent which is the most potent out of all. I have been using this one for 4 night a week and I’m certain it’s doing something as my face looks a lot younger, I’ve not had any new lines and will continue to use religiously

Bitty
I’ve brought this to try and feel it’s an oil rather than a serum. I takes ages to soak in. But it also leaves like bit of grainy stuff all on my face

Affordable retinol
When looking for retinol, most were out of my price range or really low in percentage. This was affordable and high strength enough that I decided to introduce it into my skincare routine. Can’t fully assess how effective it yet, but at the price it is I am happy to continue to trial this. I am in my early twenties so mainly using it as a preventative measure.

I bought this after using the 0.5% product and it definitely has made a difference to my skin.

My go to retinol
Always repurchase as its very affordable for 1%, doesn't cause irritation or dryness. A little greasy, but it absorbs fairly quickly so it's okay.

Not what it says
I'll be honest I was really disappointed in this product! This isn't a serum and shouldn't be advertised as such- this is actually an oil!! It leaves your hands and face so greasy! If you want to look like you've basted your face in chicken fat then this is for you!
