The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 30ml
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum from The Ordinary designed to visibly reduce signs of aging, improve skin texture, and refine pores. Formulated with 0.5% pure retinol suspended in a skin-loving squalane base, this serum delivers anti-aging benefits with enhanced hydration and minimal irritation.
Whether you’re new to retinol or upgrading from a lower strength, this mid-level solution provides visible results while remaining gentle enough for most skin types. It’s perfect for those seeking smoother, clearer, and younger-looking skin—without dryness or peeling.
What Is Retinol 0.5% in Squalane?
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane combines pure retinol—a powerful derivative of Vitamin A—with squalane, a naturally occurring moisturizing agent. Retinol works by accelerating skin renewal, helping to fade dark spots, reduce wrinkles, and unclog pores. Meanwhile, squalane mimics the skin’s natural oils, keeping the formula nourishing and non-irritating.
Unlike traditional retinol products, this formula avoids harsh alcohols, silicones, and fragrance—making it ideal for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
The Power of Retinol + Squalane
Retinol is one of the most researched and proven ingredients in skincare, especially for anti-aging. By pairing it with squalane, The Ordinary ensures better tolerance and added hydration. The result? Skin that looks smoother, firmer, and more radiant over time—with less redness or flaking.
This serum also supports collagen production, minimizes enlarged pores, and helps fade post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation.
