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.

Faithful
I've been using this 2-3 times a week for 2ish years. I only have to replace it once per year as a little goes a long way. I put it on after dinner so it has time to soak in before bed.

Love it!
I tried this as my first retinol product and now use it every night. Took some time to see a difference but overall I love it. Has an oily texture so it doesn't feel drying.

Repeat purchase
Go to product every night. Be careful in early days of use. Can be quite strong so building up is advised.

Be careful
This burnt the skin on my face which took a week to recover from. Has a really high retinol percentage, if you are new to retinol buy one that has a lower amount

Keep it in the fridge!
So far so good. I tried stronger retinol previously that left me peeling. So far this is working grand with my sensitive skin. Just need to remember to keep it in the fridge after opening!

Love TO retinol
Love this range of retinol products! They don't dry out my skin at all (which is prone to dryness) and amazing value for money compared to other similar products. I've just upgraded from the 0.5% to the 1% and so far so good, I do think I'm beginning to see a positive difference in my skin long term.

Oily
This is basically oil It’s so oily I’m doubting the retinol has a chance to actually get through the oil and do anything I had to wash it off
