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.

Wish I’d got this sooner!
Wish I had started retinol sooner!! I use with a range of other Ordinary products, so I can’t 100% isolate the benefits of this product BUT the complete Ordinary routine I have started has completely transformed my skin so I will continue to buy this for sure and keep the same routine! The smell is weird but it’s so worth it. I am actually excited to get the next strength up and see my skin continue to improve!!

Not too harsh
Just started using this after my disaster experience with a different label. This one seems far less harsh

Love this!
I've been using this nightly 3-4 times a week for over 6 months now. I can definitely see a difference in my skin - it's clearer, less pigmented and smoother. Will continue using.
