Retinol 1 percent in Squalane

Very nice for face but need to mix with face cream

I love this product. Retinol is the best

ما جربتو لسا وخايفة جربو لانو عيارو 1% سمعت انو يعتبر كتير عالبشرة الحساسة

احببته نفس الوصف

Smells bad. No expiry date? Does not have squalene texture. I would like to return this item.

I am impressed by the quality 👌 the skin is like a baby skin.

ممتاز جداً

I feel satisfied with both the product and the delivery. Delivery is so fast (was actually ahead of time), the product is original,..the liquid stayed on my skin overnight...it feels so soft, quite oily but it didn't irritate my skin..hoping for a better result after several use.

Un poco grasoso, pero aun así un producto muy bueno. Mi piel luce increíble cuando me despierto por la mañana.

Ich benutze das The Ordinary Retinol 1% in jetzt schon eine Weile und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden damit. Das Serum wirkt sehr hochwertig und hat bei mir sichtbar die Hautstruktur verbessert. Meine Haut fühlt sich glatter an und kleine Unreinheiten sowie feine Linien sind weniger geworden. Man sollte aber beachten, dass es relativ stark ist. Am Anfang kann es zu leichter Reizung oder Trockenheit kommen, deshalb sollte man es langsam in die Routine einbauen. Gerade in den Sonnenmonaten muss man besonders aufpassen, da Retinol die Haut empfindlicher gegenüber UV-Strahlen macht.

Thanks to the presence of squalane, one can start using 1% retinol directly on the face at night without experiencing dryness, as the moisturizing properties of squalane help prevent it. However, in my opinion, retinaldehyde—being closer to prescription-strength retinoids—can be more effective. It may cause dryness initially, but over time, the skin builds tolerance, and the results are often better. That said, retinol is still a great option when used consistently over a longer period.

The oil does the job. My skin looks more radiant when I apply the oil every evening.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane for a few weeks, and I’ve noticed a visible improvement in my skin's texture and overall clarity. The squalane base is hydrating, so my skin feels moisturized even while using a strong active ingredient like retinol. However, for those new to retinol, the 1% concentration can be quite strong and might cause some irritation if not introduced gradually. It’s best to start slow, maybe twice a week, and build up from there. Overall, it’s an affordable and effective product for anyone looking to incorporate retinol into their routine for anti-aging and skin-smoothing benefits.
