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.

A-mazing
So at 32, I finally have clear skin. It got rid of my acne, improved skin texture, faded scars and made it more even. The squalane is sooo nice, my skin looks and feels baby soft. This product is amazing. Go easy on it, apply only a few times a week. If you apply it to often you might damage your skin's moisture barrier and do more damage than good. Always wear sunscreen, and don't forget to hydrate and moisturize. If your skin is very sensitive, go with the 0.2% first. Other than that, buy this already, it's so affordable and so good!

Retinol
This arrived as stated, have only used a handful of times, but can tell when I have used this product, although I am probably being over cautious due to the fact I have never used a retinol product before. And want my skin to get used to it, the service was excellent

Where has this been all my life
This product is amazing. Use it sparingly but you will see instant results. I have now bern using it for about 4 days and I have the best skin ive had in years. I have experienced a small amount of peeling under the eye area but this is normal for when you start using a retinol product. I have a eye cream i use that has dealt with that so not a big problem. Ive always had noticeable pores around nose and cheeks and yet now i cant see them.im finding myself just looking att the time at the changes. Every person with problem skin ,uneven skin tone,fine lines ,breakouts need this product

Very good!!!!
I have been using this for about 2 weeks. At first, i was afraid if i would have a break out using this product as it warns us in the drscription. But luckily, NOTHING HAPPENS! And my skin has become better (more smooth and soft), and most importantly, i guess my skin moisture has increased!!! Its good for acne victims like me!!
