The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane (30 ml) is a water-free retinol serum designed to target visible signs of aging with a simple, effective formula. While Retinol has been studied extensively, newer technologies exist that mimic its visible effects without causing skin irritation.

Key Features

• Concentration: 1% pure Retinol
• Formula: Water-free solution in Squalane
• Size: 30 ml bottle
• Target: Reduces the appearance of fine lines from photo damage and general skin aging
• Usage note: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling—especially around the eyes and mouth in the early stages. If you have not used high-strength retinol before, start with a lower-strength product to build tolerance

Performance / Benefits

The 1% Retinol formulation works to smooth and refine skin texture by addressing fine lines and signs of photo damage. The water-free Squalane base offers a lightweight, stable delivery for the retinoid, while acknowledging that Retinol can cause irritation during early use. For newcomers to high-strength retinoids, gradual introduction is advised to build tolerance and minimize discomfort.
