The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane serum 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a beginner-friendly retinol serum designed to support smoother, more even-looking skin while addressing visible signs of skin aging. The formula contains 0.2% pure retinol, a well-known vitamin A derivative that helps improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture and skin tone over time. It is suspended in squalane, a lightweight emollient that helps replenish moisture and leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable.

This low-strength retinol formula is a suitable starting point for those who are new to retinoids and want to gradually introduce retinol into their skincare routine. With consistent use, it can help promote a smoother-looking complexion and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture. Because retinol can increase sensitivity to sunlight, using sunscreen during the day is an essential part of a retinol skincare routine.
