The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml

Step up to The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, the highest concentration of pure Retinol offered in The Ordinary’s line. This advanced, water-free solution is specifically formulated for individuals whose skin has already built a tolerance to lower-strength retinoids (like 0.2% or 0.5%). The powerful 1% pure Retinol works rapidly to accelerate cell turnover, making it exceptionally effective at diminishing the appearance of prominent lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation.

Retinol is widely recognized as a gold-standard ingredient for anti-aging due to its proven ability to support collagen and elastin production. To combat the high irritation potential of such a strong active, this serum is suspended in a nourishing base of Squalane. This plant-derived, non-comedogenic oil mimics the skin’s natural lipids, delivering intense hydration and strengthening the moisture barrier to prevent excessive peeling and redness. By using this potent formula consistently and correctly, experienced users can achieve dramatically smoother texture, improved firmness, and a more youthful-looking, radiant complexion.
