Retinol is one of the most trusted ingredients in skincare for targeting visible signs of aging, and The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane offers it in an expert-strength formula. Designed for experienced retinol users, this water-free retinol solution works overnight to improve skin texture, tone, and resilience. The formula combines 1% pure retinol with squalane, a skin-friendly oil that helps lock in hydration and reduce irritation. This makes the serum effective while still being gentle enough for consistent use. Regular application helps soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles while also encouraging a smoother surface and more even skin tone.
Alongside retinol and squalane, the serum includes jojoba seed oil, tomato fruit extract, and rosemary leaf extract, which work together to nourish, calm, and protect the skin. These ingredients ensure the formula not only targets aging signs but also supports overall skin health. As a night serum for skin renewal, it is best used as part of your evening skincare routine. Because this is a high-strength formula, it’s important to follow safe usage guidelines-start slowly, apply a few drops after cleansing, and always wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.
