Retinol 1% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 1% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this expert-level formula is supported with squalane, a conditioning agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes skin to help target the dryness that can be associated with retinol use. The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. For more tips on how to use Retinoids, be sure to explore our Retinoid Guide. Note: Once opened, this formula should be refrigerated and used within a three-month period. Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Title: Game Changer for my nighttime routine.
Review: TLDR;AMAZINF product- I absolutely would recommend.-target my fine lines and wrinkle-skin feels nourished and looks rejuvenated and plump-younger looking skin-doesn’t break me out-plays nice with my other products of other brands.-only a few drops needed and spreads across face easily.-bottle lasts a good whileI heard the stories is what retinol could do but didn’t think it would do this much.My skin is breakout prone, and this didn’t break me out. What it did do was make my skin feel AMAZING. It felt soft, hydrated and nourished and looked even better.I added this to my nighttime routine and waking up in the morning my skin looks nourishes and plump. After a week of consistent use, my fine lines and crows feet really started to fade and now a month barely visible.The only down side for me is my skin seems more prone to sunburn, but spf is already important so it’s not a big deal for me.All in all I would recommend this product. The price and results for me are unbeatable.

Title: Economical and Effective
Review: Skin feels softer and pores appear smaller in the first week. I did notice minor breakout for the first few days. This is a great alternative to expensive retinol products.

Title: dilutable if needed
Review: This is my first time using retinol since I high school (I had severe acne) and I chose this one because of minimal ingredients and because I can easily adjust the potency by diluting it in another oil. I used 5 drops just one time the 1st week just to see how my skin would handle it. It can be very irritating, and I could tell it was too much for my skin so I decided to go low and slow. So for a few weeks I did 1-2 drops in 3-4 drops of jojoba oil once a week. Then gradually increased frequency and potency.Anyway, this has worked well for me so far. I'm not sure if I'd purchase again because I'm still unsure of how I feel about retinol. I'm thinking glycolic acid might be better for what I'm looking for, but I really like this product so far because I've been able to adjust it according to my needs.

Review: This serum is what I was searching for a long time.I have dry skin and i just apply this serum at night and i am all set for the bed. No need to apply any moisturizer. This made my skin better and all the blemishes are fading away.I am really going to repeat the product.

Title: Actually works!
Review: I have tried so many different products at various prices to help reduce redness, especially my neck area from sun damaged and have been disappointed so many times or had my skin irritated further.I've been using this product with hesitance, for a few days, trying to avoid skin irritation but this stuff is actually helping my skin tone and texture.

Title: Not quite the same as in retail stores
Review: I purchased this product for the first time and tried it out. It was very thin and didn't have any noticeable affect on my skin. After reading others reviews, I went to a retail.store and purchased the same product to see if there was an honest difference. Yes, there was. The difference was not major, but I did notice a light sting to my face throughout the 10 minute time that I left the mask on my face. The consistency was slightly thicker, but not by much. The after effects of the peel were lightly noticeable, but nothing spectacular. No signs at all of peeling from either purchase. I'll try it again in a few days and see what happens. I was able to return this product without issue.

Review: I’ve been using The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane for a few weeks, and I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin's texture and overall clarity. The squalane base is hydrating, so my skin feels moisturized even while using a strong active ingredient like retinol. However, for those new to retinol, the 1% concentration can be quite strong and might cause some irritation if not introduced gradually. It’s best to start slow, maybe twice a week, and build up from there. Overall, it’s an affordable and effective product for anyone looking to incorporate retinol into their routine for anti-aging and skin-smoothing benefits.

Review: El efecto de este producto en la piel es muy bueno (llevo un mes usandolo), pero antes de comprarlo consideren que su duración indicada en el empaque es de solo 3 meses una vez abierto, resulta imposible terminarse el frasco en ese tiempo, más considerando el periodo de prueba y adaptación de la piel recomendado por dermatólogos, su concentración es 1%, bastante alto pero mi piel lo aceptó muy fácilmente, no me causó ninguna irritación ni descamación (posiblemente si lo haga en pieles secas o sensibles), otra cosa, la fórmula tiene squalane, para pieles grasas resulta incómodo porque se siente aceitoso, una sensación no agradable, pero no es comedogénico, solo es incómodo.
