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.

Sucha good simple formula
This is literally one of my fav retinols ever. Squalene solution is way better for more oily skin like mine so would definitely recommend this product over other ones containing retinol as they are often quite oily feeling. ANDDD this product is affordable which makes it ever better.

Does what intends
Very good product, wouldn’t apply daily - max every 3 days as it would be very damaging to the skin at this concentration but noticed a huge difference in my complexion. Brighter and less blemishes.

My go-to retinol solution
I've tried a few different pure retinol solutions over the years and some mixed with other formulations, like this one by the ordinary. I purchased my second bottle having seen great results with this formulation. It's fast absorbing and feels very nourishing. I love the addition of squalane in this product as I also use the squalane cleanser. I apply this retinol only at night in the summer, always remembering to apply a good high SPF in the morning. I use it AM & PM in Autumn/Winter, again, applying SPF afterwards. My combination/blackhead prone t-zone has cleared right up whilst sticking to a simple regime with this retinol being my super performer.
