The Ordinary Retinol In Squalane 0.5%

This moderate-strength retinoid serum is designed for those who have some experience with retinoids and are looking to increase the potency of their anti-aging regimen. The formula features a 0.5% concentration of pure Retinol, a well-researched ingredient that works to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.

Unlike many water-based serums, this solution is suspended in Squalane, a plant-derived emollient that is both lightweight and deeply hydrating. The Squalane base provides two key benefits: it helps to deliver the Retinol effectively while also minimizing the dryness and irritation often associated with retinoid use. This ensures a more comfortable experience as the skin adjusts to the treatment.

Regular use of this serum helps to refine the skin’s surface, improve the appearance of sun damage, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion. It is an ideal step up for users who have tolerated lower-strength retinoids and are ready for more pronounced results.

Key Benefits:

• Moderate Strength Retinol: Contains a 0.5% concentration for visible anti-aging results.
• Reduces Signs of Aging: Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and photo-damage.
• Hydrating Base: Squalane nourishes and minimizes irritation.
• Improves Texture: Helps to smooth and refine the skin’s surface.

Directions for Use: Apply a small amount to the face in the evening as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier creams. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Use sun protection during the day.
