The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml is a potent yet gentle retinol serum formulated to target signs of aging, uneven texture, and blemishes. Its 1% retinol concentration works to boost cell turnover, while squalane provides hydration and minimizes irritation. This lightweight oil-serum hybrid is ideal for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin, as the squalane base helps buffer potential dryness. Regular use can improve skin smoothness, reduce fine lines, and refine pores. It’s best applied at night, followed by sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity. The minimalist formula is free from fragrances, parabens, and sulfates, making it suitable for most skin types. For visible anti-aging results without harsh side effects, this serum offers an accessible entry point into retinoids.
