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.

Great hi strength retinol
I come back to this time and time again. I’ve been using it for about 3 years and it’s fantastic once you build your skin up to it. Number one retinol I’m certain it’s helped lines on my face.

Fabulous - but be careful!
I would highly recommend this product, I have been using it for around 4 weeks now and can see a noticeable difference in my skin already. I have had a purge in blemishes and have tobe careful not to use it every night (three times a week is perfect) but its great!

So far so good
I’m loving it so far I have high hopes it’s going to help with some skin problems I have after birth.

Love
I love this retinol and use it 2 or 3 times a week. When I stop using it I notice a difference so I always end up repurchasing. If you’re a 30-something and starting to notice a difference in your skin, try this!

Favourite retinol
I’ve been using this product every night for years. My skin drinks it in and leaves it so hydrated. Wouldn’t be without it and always have a spare to hand.

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.
