Product Details

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a high-strength anti-aging serum formulated for experienced retinol users seeking advanced treatment for visible signs of aging, uneven skin texture, and loss of firmness. Combining a potent 1% concentration of pure retinol with a nourishing squalane base, this lightweight oil-based serum helps accelerate skin renewal while minimizing moisture loss, leaving the skin feeling smoother, softer, and more resilient. Its water-free formulation helps maintain the stability and effectiveness of retinol while delivering comfortable application.

Retinol is one of the most extensively researched skincare ingredients for improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation. With consistent use, this serum helps stimulate natural skin cell turnover, refine enlarged pores, fade post-acne marks, and improve overall skin radiance. The addition of plant-derived squalane provides essential hydration and supports the skin barrier, helping reduce the dryness commonly associated with retinol use. Because of its high strength, this formula is recommended for experienced retinoid users who have already developed tolerance to lower retinol concentrations.
