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.

Good retinol
Good retinol! Very good value for a 1% retinol. Only downside is it’s quite oily and doesn’t soak in too quick so have to factor that in before getting into bed!

So far so good
Just started using the 1% after using the 0.5% for a few months. I haven't been using this one long enough to notice a long term effect yet, but my skin does feel nice and plump when I wake up.

I don’t like the formula
I like ordinary products generally especially there serums! But I think this one just gets too oily on the face and is hard to use during the night especially as it doesn’t absorb too well
