The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And the Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane (30ml) is a highly stable, high-strength serum featuring 1% pure retinol.
A powerhouse form of vitamin A housed in soothing squalane, the Retinol Serum 1% in Squalane (30ml) encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, softer skin.
This stellar serum works hard to minimise the look of fine lines, dark spots and blemishes, while improving skin texture and tone... and we'd be happy with that, but there's more. Supported by squalane (a moisturising ingredient naturally found in your skin) you can expect your complexion to appear smooth and hydrated, with any dryness that can come with retinol use being reduced. We've got heart eyes just thinking about it...
Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Retinol, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, BHT.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments and avoid unprotected sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Doesn't do anything for me
Doesn't do anything for me.. My skin just doesn't want to soak it in, because it's so extremely oily. Then I go to sleep and it all goes everywhere except into my skin. There are much better retinols out there that have saved my extremely acne-prone skin.

Great retinol
I'm a big fan of retinols now that I'm 40 (yikes). My skin is very dry but is used to retinol and this one isn't drying. In the evening after cleansing I apply this retinol, then The Ordinary's Buffet and then a moisturizing mask. Cruelty free and highly recommended.

Glowing skin
I love this product and have been using it for years. It really improved the quality and smoothness of my skin. The texture is light and non greasy, it absorbs well into the skin. I use this product at night in combination with the L-ascorbic acid (also from the ordinary) and this combination works for me. Over the years my skin tone has become more even and my skin is more plump and glowing.

Good product
I’ve been using it for years. Cheap, strong and effective. Maybe not for retinol beginners.

Great product!
I have been using this every night for the last 6 weeks and I'm only half way through the bottle. Perseverance is key for the first month or so as your skin will be sore and peel however, I now have baby soft skin that has never been in such good condition before! I have always suffered with dry patches but they are gone and blemishes and break outs seem to clear up quicker. I won't be without this product now!

Brill product
So pleased with this product. I have been using retinol for years and paid a lot more for it too. Great to pay such a reasonable price for something that works for me. Your skin will peel and appear red at first but persevere and your skin will settle down eventually and you will see results. Also be aware that you must keep out of the sun when using retinol.

Nothing Special
It's OK but I don't really like that terrible greasy feeling when I apply it on my face and afterwards, I have been using it for a month or so but I haven't noticed any improvement. In fact, I have noticed nothing. So I'll stick tom the more expensive after finishing this product.

The Ordinary
I cannot believe the trans-formative properties of The Ordinary Products. There is nothing "Ordinary" about these products. I first read about them in a magazine, then did some research on which products would suit me best. I looked on Beauty Bay, Amazon and Cult Beauty. Cult Beauty stocked all the products at the most competitive price. My skin has never looked so good. As recommended I used Zinc, Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid in the morning, and the Retinal in the evening. Within 3 days my skin had improved immensely. The redness had gone, the pimples were massively reduced and my skin had a healthy glow. It hadn't had a youthful glow for a long time. I'm ever so grateful to these products and have already recommended not only the products, but Cult Beauty to all my friends. Many have commented on the transformation of my skin and asked my secret. The Ordinary should be called The Extra Ordinary!

Granactive retinoid
I used the above product for 2 months, every other day at first and then daily at night. It has left me with very red, swollen and dry lips and a very swollen and discoloured eye. I have had this now for 3 weeks with no improvement.
