Size: 30ml

Product Overview:
The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a potent anti-aging treatment that targets visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture 🌟. Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, is well-known for its ability to accelerate cell turnover, promote collagen production, and improve overall skin tone. This formulation delivers a moderate concentration of retinol in a base of squalane, a plant-derived emollient that helps to minimize potential irritation and maintain skin hydration. This product is ideal for those with some experience using retinoids and who are looking for an effective, non-irritating anti-aging solution.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinol 0.5%:

  • A powerful form of Vitamin A that stimulates cell turnover, promoting a smoother and more even skin texture 🌿.
  • Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation by encouraging collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
  • Effective in treating signs of aging while also addressing issues such as acne and skin texture irregularities.

• Squalane:

  • A lightweight, plant-derived emollient that hydrates and soothes the skin, helping to reduce dryness and irritation associated with retinol use 💧.
  • Mimics the skin's natural oils, providing moisture without leaving a greasy residue and enhancing the skin's barrier function.

Texture and Formulation:
This serum has an oil-like texture due to the squalane base, which absorbs well into the skin without feeling heavy or greasy ✨. The formulation is designed for nighttime use and is best suited for those who have built some tolerance to retinoids.

Benefits:

• Anti-Aging: Retinol effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots by promoting collagen production and increasing cell turnover 🌟.
• Improves Skin Texture: Helps to smooth and refine the skin's texture, reducing the visibility of rough patches and uneven skin tone 🌿.
• Hydrating: The inclusion of squalane ensures that the skin remains moisturized, minimizing the potential for irritation and dryness often associated with retinol use 💧.
• Non-Irritating: The moderate concentration of retinol in a soothing squalane base makes this product suitable for users who have previously used lower-strength retinoids without significant irritation.

How to Use:

1. Apply a small amount to the face in the evening after cleansing and toning 🕒.
2. Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed.
3. Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
4. Start by using it 2-3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
5. Always use sunscreen during the day when using retinoids, as they can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight 🌞.
