Brand: The Ordinary

Product Name: Retinol 1% in Squalane

Size: 30ml

Product Overview:
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a high-strength, oil-based serum designed to target visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture 🌟. Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A, is known for its ability to accelerate cell turnover, promote collagen production, and improve overall skin tone. This formulation delivers a potent 1% concentration of retinol, making it suitable for experienced users who have previously tolerated lower-strength retinoids. The serum is suspended in squalane, a lightweight, plant-derived emollient that helps to minimize irritation and maintain skin hydration during retinol use.

Key Ingredients:

• Retinol 1%:

  • A powerful form of Vitamin A that speeds up cell turnover, helping to smooth the skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 🌿.
  • Encourages collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and reduces signs of aging, including hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
  • Effective for treating not only signs of aging but also for addressing skin texture irregularities and acne.

• Squalane:

  • A moisturizing and soothing emollient that mimics the skin’s natural oils, providing hydration without clogging pores 💧.
  • Helps to calm the skin and reduce the dryness and irritation often associated with high-strength retinol treatments.
  • Enhances the skin’s natural barrier, supporting overall skin health and resilience.

Texture and Formulation:
This serum has an oil-like texture due to its squalane base, which allows it to glide smoothly onto the skin and absorb effectively without leaving a greasy finish ✨. The formulation is best suited for evening use as part of a nighttime skincare routine.

Benefits:

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Retinol 1% effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging by promoting collagen production and increasing cell turnover 🌟.
• Improves Skin Texture: Regular use smooths the skin’s surface, reducing rough patches and improving overall skin texture 🌿.
• Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Helps to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, leading to a brighter and more radiant complexion 🌞.
• Hydrating: The inclusion of squalane ensures that the skin remains moisturized, helping to counteract the dryness that can be associated with retinol use 💧.
• Non-Irritating: Although it is a high-strength retinol, the squalane base helps to reduce potential irritation, making it more tolerable for experienced users.

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 to the retinol.
5. Always use sunscreen during the day when using retinoids, as they can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight 🌞.

Recommended For:

• Individuals with experience using retinoids who are ready to advance to a higher strength retinol 🌿.
• Those seeking to address multiple signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture 🌟.
• People looking for a potent retinol serum that also provides hydration and minimizes irritation 💧.
• Suitable for most skin types, particularly those accustomed to retinol treatments and looking for more intensive results.
