Address signs of ageing with the Retinol Serum 0.5% in Squalane from The Ordinary. It’s a water-free, multipurpose, potent solution that’s formulated to refine pores, reduce the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles and improve skin texture. Enriched with a 0.5% concentration of the anti-ageing powerhouse Retinol, which is a derivative of Vitamin A, the lightweight serum has a plumping and firming effect on the complexion, as well as protecting the skin from harmful environmental aggressors. Another key antioxidant ingredient, Squalane prevents UV damage and the formation of age spots while counteracting harmful bacteria, leaving you with flawless skin.
We love how The Ordinary Retinol Serum works to tackle the first signs of ageing to keep your skin radiant and youthful-looking. Free from water, alcohol, silicone, nut, gluten and soy, this vegan and cruelty-free serum works to plump and firm the skin. Ideal for acneprone or ageing skin, this serum with Retinol and Squalene will minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture and refine pores for a more even, youthful finish.

Great product
I am using the retinol 3 times a week in the evening always after the moisturizer. Helps with renovating the skin and it is with great anti-aging benefits. I like it and highly recommend. Good value for money.

Great and not too strong
Nice easing in retinol oil. Great for sensitive dry skin without being too harsh. Got no redness from this. Just a nice glow that made confidence a little better knowing going out and not dreadful dry skin appearing through a night out. The ordinary really is anything but ordinary. Quite revolutionary id say.

Seems ok
Only used 3 times so no visible difference to lines but doesn't irritate my skin like I was worried it might.
