The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum

A highly effective retinol serum that targets general signs of skin aging. It targets skin irregularities and uneven skin tone. Suitable for all skin types.

How to use:

Apply a few drops to the face in the evening, ensuring even coverage while avoiding the eye and mouth areas. Do not use it in combination with other retinoid products to prevent irritation. Since retinol increases skin sensitivity to sunlight, always use sun protection during the day. In the early stages of use, mild irritation, redness, and peeling may occur as the skin builds tolerance. To maintain product effectiveness, refrigerate after opening. If irritation becomes severe, rinse off immediately, discontinue use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin, and perform a patch test before the initial application to ensure compatibility.
