Address signs of ageing with the Retinol Serum 0.5% in Squalane from The Ordinary. It’s a water-free, multipurpose, potent solution that’s formulated to refine pores, reduce the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles and improve skin texture. Enriched with a 0.5% concentration of the anti-ageing powerhouse Retinol, which is a derivative of Vitamin A, the lightweight serum has a plumping and firming effect on the complexion, as well as protecting the skin from harmful environmental aggressors. Another key antioxidant ingredient, Squalane prevents UV damage and the formation of age spots while counteracting harmful bacteria, leaving you with flawless skin.
We love how The Ordinary Retinol Serum works to tackle the first signs of ageing to keep your skin radiant and youthful-looking. Free from water, alcohol, silicone, nut, gluten and soy, this vegan and cruelty-free serum works to plump and firm the skin. Ideal for acneprone or ageing skin, this serum with Retinol and Squalene will minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture and refine pores for a more even, youthful finish.

Caused eczema on my face
Other than the expected dryness, the product also caused eczema on my face. I have had it for 4 weeks and I am working with my gp to resolve this problem. I put this product straight in the bin!

The ordinary retinol serum
Leaves your face looking very greasy hence the loss of the 2 stars but a very good evening treatment

Great starter retinol
Used this as my starter to using retinol. I didn’t break out and my skin is a lot smoother, acne scars seems to be fading too!

Didn't do anything
Used it for 6months and the retinol didn't make a difference to my skin. My acne didn't get worse or better, my skin texture in general didn't change or my pores.

Fantastic serum
I love this serum, after suffering with acne in early adulthood, Iv been left with scars and unevenness on my cheeks, after using this serum for under a week I can already see a difference! They are already starting to fade!! Pair with a good SPF and it should work for anti aging too!!
