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.

Good
Only used couple of times my skin is soft after

Greasy AF
I hate this product so much, I ended up just purchasing a different retinol product. I bought it because it was cheap, there were good reviews, and it had different levels of retinol so you could start on the lowest one and work your way up. I did finish one bottle (the 0.1%) but only because I hate waste. Even if it’s just a few drops, it’s the greasiest thing ever to put on your face, even on my very dry skin. After awhile, I couldn’t stand the ultra greasy, sticky texture of it on my face, neck, and décolletage in my evening skincare routine, and decided it was worth spending more on a good quality retinol product that didn’t leave you feeling like you went on an ultra lubricated slip and slide and landed in oil. If you’re on a budget, this is okay, but be warned, as the Ordinary’s products are cheap, you’re not paying for it to feel nice on the skin or for the experience.

Spreads well but is very oily
I like the product. It takes a while to absorb due to the squalane - this does help keep my skin soft though. I think it has also helped with some of my seborrheic dermatitis that appears around my hairline and temples.

Smoother skin
I've seen a difference in my forehead and around the eyes already after only a week. My skin feels a lot smoother too. I've been using it every other day at night time and haven't seen any side effects.

Great retinol
Love this retinol, great price and can’t go wrong. Just make sure you wear spf as it can affect the skin barrier otherwise.

Love this!
Absolutely love this! Bought it on a whim when checking out and seeing it at a reduced price. Had a look at the reviews and I am not disappointed! If you haven’t already purchased, I would highly advise you do! I have since gone on to purchase more of the products from this brand!

Works well
Works well and you do notice a difference in the appearence of the skin. However you have to store this In the fridge which can be annoying

So far so good!
Have been using this twice a week for a few weeks now so it's a little too soon to notice the retinol results. So far I am impressed with the product, a little goes a long way, it absorbs well and leaves skin feeling smooth.
