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.

Youth in a little bottle.
Made my skin feel super soft. Only been using every 3/4 days to begin with as it can make skin a little tender. Fir the price it’s brilliant and not super expensive like some brands out there.

Good price
I have been wanting to try retinol for a while so for this price I thought why not. Haven’t noticed any changes yet but hopefully after a few months I will

My opinion
My opinion is that retinol 0.5 is too weak for me. And I don't like the oily coating after application. I use it on my décolletage or back.
