The Ordinary’s Retinol Serum 0.2% 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 0.2% 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.

The thing I didn't know I was missing
Amazing product. I got this one to allow my skin time to adjust to using retinol and as soon as I've finished I'll be buying the next one up. If you don't use retinol you really should, my skin is GLOWING

Love it
Love this serum. I used the pixi retinol tonic previously but definitely prefer this and it’s cheaper. The only thing I would say is I’m not fond of the smell. But it works well so I’m putting up with it as it is a great serum.

Visible effects
This is a must have staple product in anyone above the age of 25 I think as, after applying it consistently for a while the results are visible. Can not recommend it enough. I bought one for my mum and the results are awesome. I wish I heard about it sooner!

Beautiful
My skin feels so soft already and you only need a small amount. Would definitely recommend only using at night though as sun damage the next day can worsen
