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.
Vegan.

Good
Can’t see that much of a difference besides skin feeling softer!

Not an enjoyable product to use
Feels quite greasy on the skin and have been using retinol for a while now but found my skin texture was actually worse rather than better, made my skin look quite rough where I expected after quite some time of using it would be smoother. Fine lines may have improved but I have been taking a collagen supplement so that could be down to that rather than the retinol. I like skincare products to feel nice on the skin but this didn’t and smells a bit unpleasant too so did not enjoy using. I’ve actually stopped and might try another brand or not bother the results weren’t worth it

I love The Ordinary
I love this brand so much! I got this as I was previously using the lower % and felt like my skin coild tolerate a higher strength. At 1st it feels quite greasy on the skin but absorbs so quickly. Doesn't cause my sensitive skin to break out and my skin is looking so clear.

Retinal
I bought this product after seeing it on TIKTOK, I can’t say I have seen much of a difference in my skin yet but it’s very light and oily on the skin and find it an easy add in to my day/night routine!

Nice product for beginners
It's my second bottle, i use this from 2 to 3 times a week. Its nice on the skin because of squalane. In the morning skin feels very soft.

Good retinol
Good retinol! Very good value for a 1% retinol. Only downside is it’s quite oily and doesn’t soak in too quick so have to factor that in before getting into bed!
