The Ordinary’s Retinol Serum 0.2% 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 0.2% 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.

Excellent Value for Money
I have very sensitive skin so was nervous to use this product, however it has made a great addition to my skin routine. I use once a week and apply in the sandwich method with a light moisturiser and have had no irritation whatsoever. The percentage of retinol is perfect for a beginner to introduce it into their routine or for someone with sensitive skin. Even after only the first uses I can see a noticeable improvement in my skins texture, and at this very accessible price point, who can resist!

Good reviews
Heard a lot of good things about this product! I had a higher strength from a different brand but it was too strong. I’m going to use this one first to build up tolerance. Make sure you only use it a couple of times a week at first until your skin gets used to it!

Alright.
Little greasy, easy to apply. I would apply with moisturiser as I think retinol is harsh when first start using.
