Description

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a beginner-friendly retinol serum designed to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin texture, and early signs of aging. Formulated with 0.2% pure retinol, it supports faster skin cell turnover, which helps reveal smoother, clearer, and more refined-looking skin over time. The inclusion of squalane helps counteract dryness often associated with retinol by providing lightweight hydration and maintaining skin comfort.

This treatment is suspended in an anhydrous (water-free) base, making it more stable and effective while still being gentle enough for those new to retinoids. It also helps improve overall skin tone and clarity by targeting dullness and textural irregularities. Because retinol can increase sun sensitivity, it is recommended for nighttime use only and must be paired with sunscreen during the day for protection.

With consistent use, The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane helps promote smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin. It is ideal for anyone starting their retinol journey who wants to gradually introduce anti-aging benefits while keeping the skin hydrated and minimizing irritation.
