The Ordinary's Retinol 1% in Squalane is a high-strength, water-free solution that harnesses the power of retinol, a form of vitamin A renowned for its ability to significantly improve the appearance of fine lines, dynamic lines, uneven skin texture, and tone.
This potent serum is designed for those experienced with retinol, aiming to deliver transformative anti-aging benefits while maintaining skin hydration through its squalane base.
Key Ingredients:
Retinol: Known for its ability to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell renewal, retinol helps to diminish visible signs of aging.
Squalane: A natural hydrator that mimics the skin's own moisture, squalane provides lightweight hydration to keep skin feeling soft and supple without feeling greasy.
Benefits:
Targets signs of aging including fine lines, uneven texture, and dryness.
Squalane base ensures hydration and minimizes dryness typically associated with retinol use.
Suitable for all skin types, formulated to be water-free, alcohol-free, and silicone-free.
Usage Tips:
For evening use after water-based serums and before heavier creams. A patch test is advised before incorporating this potent serum into your skincare routine. To mitigate retinol-associated sensitivity, gradually introduce this product into your regimen. Use sun protection during the day.
Special Notes:
This serum is part of a stepwise approach to retinol use, recommended after acclimatizing the skin with lower concentrations of retinol.
Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the presence of retinol.
Store in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening to maintain potency.
