Retinol 0.5% in Squalane

- Strength: This is a moderate-strength retinol serum, perfect for those who are familiar with retinol.
- Targets: It actively works on signs of aging, reduces dryness, smooths out textural irregularities, and helps even out skin tone.
- Suited To: Despite its effectiveness, this serum is designed to be gentle enough for all skin types.
- Format: It comes in a water-free serum (anhydrous), which helps keep the retinol stable and potent.
How to Use: Unlock ageless beauty with The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane. This serum blends retinol with squalane, which not only helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles but also hydrates your skin for a smoother, refined appearance.
Steps for Use:
- Start Off Slowly: If you're new to retinol, begin with a lower concentration to let your skin adjust.
- Evening Ritual: Use it in the evening. Apply a small amount to your face after cleansing and toning, but avoid your eyes.
- Follow Up: After applying the serum, follow with your favorite moisturizer or face oil to lock in moisture.
- Sun Protection: Since retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, always wear sunscreen during the day.
Remember, patience is key when introducing retinol into your routine. It might take some time for results to show as your skin gets used to it. But with regular use, The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane gently brings your youthful glow back to life.
