Take your nighttime skincare routine to the next level with The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. This high-strength retinoid treatment is designed for experienced retinoid users looking to visibly firm skin, smooth texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

Formulated with a potent 0.2% retinal, this lightweight emulsion helps improve skin firmness while targeting uneven tone, rough texture, and signs of ageing. With continued use, skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even, with improved radiance and a refined complexion.

The formula's natural bright yellow color comes from its high concentration of retinal. To help prevent transfer onto light-colored fabrics, allow the product to fully absorb before coming into contact with clothing or bedding.

Why you'll love it:

  • High-strength 0.2% retinal for advanced retinoid users.
  • Helps firm skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Improves the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone.
  • Refines skin texture for a smoother complexion.
  • Boosts radiance for brighter, healthier-looking skin.
  • Fragrance-free and vegan.

A powerful nighttime treatment for those ready to step up their anti-aging skincare routine with a more advanced retinoid formula.

This product uses an airless pump, which can sometimes require priming before the product will dispense on first use. If your pump does not dispense product after 10 pumps, turn the product upside down and tap the cap end firmly on a hard surface a few times.

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry face and neck in the evening.

Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.

Start with a weekly application and gradually increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by your skin.

Apply a moisturizer afterwards.

Do not use with other retinoid products.

Use sun protection during the day.

If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician.

Use only as directed on unbroken skin.

Patch testing prior to use is advised.

Keep out of reach of children.
