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.

Great for first time retinol users with sensitive skin.
Great for first time retinol users with sensitive skin. The squalane hydrates the skin and gives a lovely glow in the morning . Isn’t pore clogging.

Would recommend
Been using this product for three weeks now, I’m seeing a slight change in my skin, definitely more of a glow but dark spots are SLOWLY fading, it’s not a quick process. I have sensitive skin and I use 3 small drops before I go sleep and my skin doesn’t react badly to it. Slow but steady progress.
