The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane 30Ml

I have been using products from The Ordinary since 2015 and I can trust them with blind eyes. The brand has set a bar in the skin care world and their ethics on quality, price revision and evolution is hands down the best. If you are already using retinol products, this 1% retinol solution is a steal deal!!

Thanks to the presence of squalane, one can start using 1% retinol directly on the face at night without experiencing dryness, as the moisturizing properties of squalane help prevent it. However, in my opinion, retinaldehyde—being closer to prescription-strength retinoids—can be more effective. It may cause dryness initially, but over time, the skin builds tolerance, and the results are often better. That said, retinol is still a great option when used consistently over a longer period.

I am using this since two weeks. skin feels clearer and softer.

Gentle enough for beginners.

I am writing this review after using it for one week. Well this product is miracle. I never felt so fresh in the morning. This product gives a baby like skin texture in the morning. I bought it after reading reviews of ordinary products on their website. Trust me it really works. It is making my skin to look even toned and reducing signs of agening. Highly recommended.

Ok...I've acne prone skin and I am 45 year old. It is working on me.

Niceee

No expiry date and the bottle was half empty.

Un poco grasoso, pero aun así un producto muy bueno. Mi piel luce increíble cuando me despierto por la mañana.

I’ve been using this retinol a few evenings a week, and it’s one of the stronger over-the-counter retinol products I’ve tried. The 1% concentration is no joke, so I started slowly and always followed with a good moisturizer. The squalane base makes it feel silky and helps reduce some of the dryness, although I still noticed a little peeling during the first couple of weeks. The glass bottle and dropper feel sturdy, and everything arrived well packaged and sealed, just as shown in the photos. The serum itself is a lightweight oil that spreads easily—a few drops cover my entire face. After several days of consistent use, my skin already felt smoother, and my overall texture looked more refined. The only downside is the oily finish, which takes a little time to absorb, and beginners may find the strength too much if they don’t ease into it. Overall, I think it’s an excellent value for an effective high-strength retinol

Good quality

The oil does the job. My skin looks more radiant when I apply the oil every evening.
