Minimise the appearance of photodamage & fine lines with The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, an high strength anti-ageing treatment for regular retinol users that's ideal for normal skin types. The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is the most highly-concentrated formula out of their retinol skincare. The star ingredient is retinol, a form of vitamin a that effectively reduces wrinkles, evens out skin tone & rejuvenates its overall appearance.

Retinol is also known to encourage the production of collagen, which is a natural protein that's an integral part of plump & youthful skin. It also minimises blemishes, allowing you to achieve a smooth, glowing complexion. Why We Love It The Ordinary has created a number of products that are retinol-based, so your skin has a chance to get used to this intense active ingredient. You can do this by gradually working your way up their Retinoid range, & as they're all purse-friendly, you won't have to break the bank to build up your tolerance either. As retinol is an incredibly powerful ingredient, it's recommended that you start with a lower concentration than this product like the 0.2%
- until your skin has built up a tolerance. Even though this formula is extremely powerful you won't need to worry about over-applying because you can use the built-in pipette for added control & minimised irritation.
