The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml is a high-potency, water-free solution designed to deliver the transformative benefits of pure retinol, a potent derivative of vitamin A, directly to the skin. This advanced serum is formulated for experienced retinol users looking to combat the visible signs of aging, improve skin texture, and achieve a more radiant, youthful complexion.
The Science Behind Retinol
Retinol is one of the most studied and effective ingredients in modern skincare. As a form of vitamin A, it works by accelerating cell turnover, helping to remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and reveal fresher, healthier-looking skin. With consistent use, retinol can significantly reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation, while smoothing rough texture and minimizing pores.
Formula and Delivery System
What sets The Ordinary Retinol 1% apart is its squalane-based formulation. Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics the skin's natural lipids, providing hydration and helping to mitigate potential irritation that high-potency retinol can cause. This water-free, oil-based formula ensures the stability of the retinol, protecting it from degradation and maximizing its effectiveness.
The serum is also free of alcohol, silicones, nuts, and gluten, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including normal, dry, oily, and combination skin. It is vegan and cruelty-free, meeting ethical and clean beauty standards.
Who should use this product?
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is designed for those who have already developed a tolerance to lower concentrations of retinol (such as 0.2% or 0.5%) and are ready to move up to a higher concentration for more pronounced results. It is ideal for people with:
Due to its potency, this product is not recommended for those new to retinol use or for people with very sensitive skin. If this is your first time using retinoids, it is recommended to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase it as your skin develops tolerance.

However, it is important to note that retinol may cause initial irritation, such as redness, dryness, and peeling, especially around delicate areas like the eyes and mouth. These effects are usually temporary while the skin adjusts, but proper use and gradual introduction are key to minimizing discomfort.
Supporting Ingredients
In addition to pure retinol, the formula includes squalane, jojoba oil, and antioxidants such as tomato extract and rosemary leaf extract. These ingredients help nourish, soothe, and protect the skin, while enhancing the retinol's effectiveness.
