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 product
Since using this retinol I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. The appearance of the dark spots on my cheeks have reduced, I seem to get less blemishes and my complexion is more glowy the dull. I can’t do without now and such great value for money as well! Would recommend to anyone

Its 2 runny for me
I have since purchased another one for my face but I do use this on my neck and chest. Slight improvement on my cleavage lines. Going to try using it on my stretch marks just to use the bottle up.

Strong
I like it, but it does tend to break out my skin if I use it too often. But that's what retinol does, nothing against this product.

Nice retinol
This isn’t the usual one I buy but the one I wanted wasn’t available. Decent alternative.

Fine lines visibly better!
I’ve been using this for a few months now. I use it daily on my neck and chest, then once a week on my face. My neck had quite a few creases and I had a line on my forehead. I’m not kidding the line on my head has completely gone as well as those on my chest and my neck is visibly better! I find it quite strong on my face so I use a tiny bit and face mask the next day to take away any dryness

Already impressed
Im sooo excited to see what this baby can do! Retinol is a godsend for hydration and preventing signs of aging! I’ve just applied it before bed with a vitamin c serum after and a peptide moisturiser to finish. The retinol is soooo hydrating my skins feeling silky smooth and super soft! I’ve not long since turned 31 so I’m starting to get slight lines on my forehead as I’ve an annoying habit of always having my eyebrows raised 😂 hoping this will help smooth those out as It no doubt will. The ordinary products are just incredible you can’t go wrong the cost is so low for such an amazing product & the results are always wonderful. Would highly recommend even during my first use as a retinol is a MUST HAVE for your skin care routine!

No irritation
This retinol is in squalene. The squalene facial oil is divine! My skin will be velvety and soft, without causing any irritation. It's a very pleasant feeling. I use it in the evening, of course, and I only apply this product, I don't use any other serum at the same time. I apply it on my neck too and on my hands.

Who doesn't love a retinol
I've been using this retinol for about 3 years now and I love it. It is so affordable and for me does exactly what it says it can do. I use it as part of my night time skincare routine and my skin is the best it has ever been. My pores appear much more reduced and I have some sunspots that are no longer so prominent. My skin just seems more smoother and soft. I would definitely recommend it to try for the price.
