The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane – 30ml

Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a water-free solution with 0.2% retinol, an ingredient that helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles caused by loss of collagen and elastin. It also improves skin texture and tone. This beginner-friendly formula includes squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin, to enhance hydration and help prevent the dryness often associated with retinol use.

The Ordinary suggests starting with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and gradually moving up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. If you have sensitive skin, you might prefer newer retinoid products like Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. For more tips on using retinoids, check out our Retinoid Guide.

Keep in mind: Once opened, store this formula in the refrigerator and use it within three months.

Caution: Retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so sun protection is very important when using them. Do not use this product with other retinoids, including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not an acne treatment.

Note: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid using skincare products with retinoids, including those with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.
