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.

Love this Retinol!
I started on the 0.2%, finished that bottle so moved up to the next concentration - seems to have dried my skin out slightly more since starting but I did expect that with the higher concentration whilst my skin got used to it, a few weeks in now and it seems to have levelled out - this retinol is brilliant. Oily texture, but the difference on my skin is noticeable. I have always struggled with open pores and blemishes - this is made such a difference. Along with the anti-aging benefits too!

Good value but didn’t see a massive difference
I think the ordinary products are good, and amazing value but I didn’t see a massive difference in my skin and still broke out a lot

I am using the retinol 3 times a week in the evening always after the moisturizer. Helps with renovating the skin and it is with great anti-aging benefits. I like it and highly recommend. Good value for money.
