The Ordinary’s Retinol Serum 1% 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 1% 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.

Good stuff
Four star due to you only need a small amount and you’re meant to use it within a certain amount of time which in that time you only use a part of the bottle and the rest is wasted

The best !!
The best retinol I have come across. You don’t even need to use much and lasts a long time. It absorbs well into the skin and a good price. Would definitely recommend.

Unable to tolerate
My skin can’t tolerate 1% retinol and this is the only reason for the 4 stars! Any retinoids need to be gradually introduced and I’d recommend starting low and slow to prevent side effects and damaging your skin unintentionally. A little goes a long way, use plenty of moisturiser after use and don’t apply to eyes nose or mouth, you will regret this as skin can get sore.

Levelling up
I was originally using the 0.5% and decided to move onto the 1%. Retinol hasn't so far caused any irritation for me, but I still want to be gentle with my skin. The squalane is of course oily so it takes a while to absorb. I recommend making sure the previous product has fully absorbed before applying for smoother application. I'm definitely still a fan.

Good product
I’ve been using this for a few months, after a short while I definitely noticed a difference in the brightness of my skin. I use it at night and it is a nice step in my routine, another good product from the ordinary.

Non drying, good product
4* instead of 5* because I'm honestly not even sure if there are any benefits. I'm 28 and don't have many fine lines and next to no wrinkles but I use spf and technically still young. But continue to use as it doesnt cause any harm. The squalane makes it nice and hydrating instead of drying which is good.

Great serum
I have been using this series for a few weeks now and have seen a slight change in my skin appearance. I will continue to use on a regular basis. A little goes a long way!

Amazing!!
Absolutely amazing product, my go to retinol! It's a great entry to the retinol space for anyone looking to introduce this into their skincare in general. Between the different grades ,you can start on a lower percentage and work your way up. The retinol is lightweight and applies almost like a face oil. A little really goes a long way but like with all Ordinary products, this is soo effective. Noticed my skin is brighter, less pigmentation and just feeling youthful with consistent use of this in my routine. In my experience, this feels like a better yet more affordable retinol that a few on the market. Highly recommend!!
