The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% In Squalane Serum – 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum (30ml) is a highly effective anti-aging treatment designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture. Infused with retinol, a form of Vitamin A, this serum encourages cell turnover, promoting smoother and more youthful-looking skin. The formula is complemented by squalane, which hydrates and balances the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or those who are new to retinol products. The serum is designed to be used at night, as retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Over time, regular use of this product can result in clearer, more even skin tone, reduced signs of aging, and overall rejuvenation of the skin’s appearance.

Specifications

How It Works: The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum works by utilizing the powerful benefits of retinol, which promotes skin cell turnover and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol accelerates the exfoliation of dead skin cells, allowing fresh, youthful skin to surface. This serum also features squalane, a hydrating ingredient that helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance, preventing irritation that might typically occur with retinol treatments. The squalane also enhances the absorption of retinol, allowing it to work more effectively, while keeping the skin soft and moisturized.
