Retinol 1% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 1% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this expert-level formula is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that enhances surface-level hydration and helps combat the dryness that can be associated with retinol use. The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane has become a game-changer in my skincare routine, delivering a potent dose of retinol in a luxurious squalane base. As a skincare enthusiast, I have encountered numerous retinol products, but The Ordinary’s offering stands out for its effectiveness, simplicity, and affordability.
The key ingredient, retinol, is renowned for its ability to promote skin renewal, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance overall skin texture. The Ordinary’s 1% concentration is a robust choice, making it suitable for those seeking a more intensive treatment. Incorporating this product into my nighttime routine has led to a noticeable improvement in the firmness and clarity of my skin.
The inclusion of squalane in the formulation is a stroke of genius. Squalane not only acts as a nourishing and hydrating agent but also helps mitigate potential dryness or irritation that can be associated with retinol use. The result is a product that delivers powerful results without compromising on skin comfort.
The lightweight texture of the serum makes it easy to apply and absorb, leaving no greasy residue. I appreciate that The Ordinary maintains its commitment to simplicity in packaging and formulation, prioritizing the quality of ingredients over unnecessary frills. The dropper dispenser ensures precise and controlled application, minimizing product waste.
It’s important to note that, like any retinol product, this serum requires a gradual introduction into your skincare routine. I started with a lower concentration and worked my way up to the 1%, allowing my skin to acclimate over time. This approach helped me avoid any potential sensitivity and maximize the benefits of retinol without undue irritation.
Considering the effectiveness of The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, the affordability of the product is truly remarkable. The brand’s commitment to transparency in pricing and formulation aligns with its mission to make effective skincare accessible to all.
In conclusion, The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a skincare powerhouse that delivers exceptional results without breaking the bank. If you’re seeking a high-quality retinol treatment that combines potency with skin-loving ingredients, this serum is a must-try. It has earned its place as a staple in my anti-aging arsenal, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their skincare routine.

Been using Ordinary products off and on for 10 plus years. I find myself always coming back to it. I use a prescription one too. They both work well together or apart. I’ve been using prescription since I was in my early thirties! If starting out with a retinol just use a little bit. My face is just immune to it so it doesn’t flake anymore! I’m 61 now and always get compliments on my skin!! Even the dermatologists and young girls ask what do I use! Never had Botox!!

I love the way it makes my face feel! I have sensitive skin so I only use it every other day or I will get a burn.

I was confused by the oily feeling it left on my face but I’m no skincare guru so I just assumed that’s how it’s supposed to be. I use it nightly on my face. After two weeks people started to compliment my skin. I was using a different retinol product prior to this. This stuff is good.

I was impressed with the potency of this product. I used it three times in a row and had to stop because my face became so tight and sensitive (retinol burn) but- I had minimal dryness with no peeling or redness. I think my skin faired so well because of the squalene component. I now use it a few times a week and my skin is super soft. This almost works well to mix with moisturizer if the skin cannot tolerate it on its own. Almost its on oil- its not greasy

I love the ordinary. Great product. My skin is super soft and bright.
Im 51 and have used ALL of the different skincare. This stuff is a bit oily at first but sinks in. I only use it at night so I don’t know how it does under makeup. Buy this, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been using this product for about 2 weeks now and I see results in the expression marks as well as the hyperpigmentation (dark spots), however, right above the cheek bone I feel a little discomfort which is normal in this type of products, I do not consider myself to have a sensitive skin so be careful with the usage if you do have sensitive skin. I use it daily none stop (at night), so maybe using it every other day might help but I got no major issues so far. Use sunscreen.
Honest Amazon reviews –
I was told by tik tok skin care I needed a retinol to help reduce signs of aging. Ordered this one and have been using for a year. It feels nice when I apply and doesn’t cause irritation or breakouts. Leaves my skin soft and moisturized. Just not sure if it’s preventing wrinkles and signs of aging since I still have smile lines and forehead lines.

This product felt different this last time I bought it. I loved the previous versions but this last one I bought felt water and…not greasy but it didn’t feel as if penetrated as deeply as before. Usually after a week of using this product I can feel a softness in my skin but this time I couldn’t
