The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a high-strength Retinol treatment to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and photo damage.

Why you need it

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is water-free solution contains 1% pure Retinol, an ingredient that has been proven to have significant anti-ageing benefits. Retinol (also known as Vitamin A) can reduce the appearances of fine lines, photo damage and of general skin ageing. Retinol works by communicating with skin cells, increasing skin cell turnover and collagen production. It also has powerful anti-oxidant properties helping to counteract environmental damage.

Retinol can cause significant irritation in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regimen with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and adjust to higher strengths as your skin builds tolerance. Alternatively you could use The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane or The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane, newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation. You will achieve the same end results without the unpleasant redness and peeling along the way.

Important: Products containing Retinol are not recommended for use during pregnancy or when breast-feeding. Always use a daily SPF when using products containing Retinol.

Nice

Lovely retinol which so far hasn't aggravated my skin. Don't feel like I need to use a moisturiser straight after due to the hydrating squalene. However if you are new to retinol I recommend starting on a lower strength.

Love this!

I am in my early 60's and started on retinol products about 18 months ago. This glides on easily and is not irritating at all, I use it every night without any issues. I can't honestly say my skin looks younger but I do love this product. I would recommend that younger women add retinol to their skincare routine and not wait until the deep wrinkles are already there!

Greatproduct but may cause peeling

I have used the 0.5% retinol for about 18 months now and decided to upgrade to the 1% strength. I find it really great especially when dealing with the aftermath of a breakout. The only downside is if its used every day it may cause some skin peeling/flaking. I tend to use it every other day to keep that from happening

So far so good!

I’ve used retinols before and after 2 weeks of use I’m seeing a nice effect. I did read on the ordinary website that they recommend using their other retinol products Instead of this one (not sure why), but the other retinol products were sold out. However, I’m really happy with this retinol and have been using with regular peels, vit c and good suncare. I’ve had no burning or peeling
