How Does It Work? The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum works by harnessing the power of retinol, a form of vitamin A known for its ability to stimulate collagen production and accelerate the skin's natural renewal process. This process helps fade dark spots, smooth wrinkles, and even out skin tone. The serum’s delivery system uses squalane to ensure that the potent retinol is absorbed effectively while providing the skin with hydration and reducing the likelihood of irritation. Squalane, a lipid naturally found in the skin, helps replenish moisture and supports the skin's barrier function, ensuring that the serum works in harmony with the skin's needs.

Features & Benefits:

• Powerful Anti-Aging Treatment: The 1% concentration of retinol is specifically formulated to reduce the visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity.
• Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Regular use helps refine skin texture, making it smoother and more even while diminishing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.
• Hydrating Formula: The squalane base hydrates the skin, providing a barrier against dryness and irritation often associated with retinol products.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Despite being a high-potency retinol, the addition of squalane makes this serum ideal for sensitive skin, offering anti-aging results with minimal irritation.
• Non-Comedogenic: It does not clog pores, making it suitable for individuals with acne-prone skin.
• Cruelty-Free and Vegan: The product is formulated without animal testing and is free from animal-derived ingredients, aligning with ethical beauty standards.

Ingredients:

• Retinol (1%): A potent form of vitamin A that accelerates cell turnover, reduces wrinkles, and smooths the skin.
• Squalane: A naturally derived, lightweight moisturizer that prevents dehydration while ensuring smooth and comfortable application of retinol.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): An antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage while soothing and enhancing the effectiveness of the retinol.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A mild emollient that enhances skin feel and boosts the delivery of the active ingredients without causing irritation.

Additional Points:

Directions for Use: Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the evening, after water-based treatments, and before heavier moisturizers. Start by using the serum 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency to allow your skin to build tolerance to retinol. Always follow with sunscreen during the day to prevent sun sensitivity caused by retinol.

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the stability and efficacy of the retinol.

Precautions:

• Use sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.
• Begin with a lower frequency of use if you are new to retinol to avoid irritation.
• If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
