The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml

Start your anti-aging journey with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, a beginner-friendly retinol serum designed to fight fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture — all while being incredibly gentle on the skin. This lightweight, oil-based serum combines pure retinol with plant-derived squalane, allowing for slow, controlled absorption without overwhelming sensitive skin.

Ideal for those new to retinol, this low-strength formulation delivers visible results over time, improving skin elasticity, tone, and smoothness. Retinol (Vitamin A) is one of the most researched ingredients in skincare, known for its ability to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. The addition of squalane helps buffer irritation, keeping the skin soft, hydrated, and calm.

This serum is free from alcohol, silicones, water, and fragrance — making it ideal for even the most reactive skin types. With consistent use, expect a fresher, more refined complexion with fewer breakouts, smoother texture, and a youthful glow.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinol (0.2%) – Promotes skin renewal and improves signs of aging

• Squalane (Plant-Derived) – Provides hydration and supports the skin barrier

• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride – Enhances skin softness and product absorption

What It Does:

• Encourages skin cell turnover for smoother, younger-looking skin

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Fades dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars

• Hydrates and nourishes without clogging pores or causing greasiness

How to Use:

1. Use in the evening only on clean, dry skin.

2. Apply a small amount (2–3 drops) to the entire face after water-based serums and before heavier creams.

3. Do not use with other retinoids or direct acids in the same routine.

4. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning.
