## Overview

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a beginner-friendly, water-free serum combining a mild 0.2% retinol concentration with nourishing squalane. It targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone while minimizing dryness and irritation. This vegan, cruelty-free formula is ideal for those starting their retinol journey, offering a smooth texture and clear instructions for safe, effective use.

## Description

Retinol 0.2% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 0.2% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this entry-level formula is supported with squalane, a conditioning agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes skin to help target the dryness that can be associated with retinol use. The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. For more tips on how to use Retinoids, be sure to explore our Retinoid Guide. Note: Once opened, this formula should be refrigerated and used within a three-month period. Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Review: Good product for starters - I am 30 days in and so far, no issues. I am going to re-iterate what another customer said as it was spot on for me. This is a good starting dose for people who want to titrate up over time in strength. It also doesn’t dry your skin out like retinol is known to do due to the form. I’m going to use the rest of the bottle then move up to the next strength and so on and so forth. The amount you get for the price is more than sufficient as retinoids can get pricey. This is a very low strength, no real scent to it, so I didn’t experience any irritation, burning or rash. It isn't sticky but is like an oil so I just put on like an hour before bed. I haven't noticed a change in my skin yet, I know that will take time. The only odd thing I've found is I am sweater and walk outside daily, I have noticed it leaves a weird yellow tint in my sunscreen and foundation after sweating. I just use a beauty blender to touch up my makeup and then it's fine. Doesn't really bother me.
Review: One of their best products yet! - A great deal every time. I use this light oil to smooth the texture of my skin, particularly above my thin upper lip and under my eyes. It smells nice and refreshing, is very effective, and leaves no sticky residue. Imagine the smell of a brand-new store.
