Smooth, refine, and rejuvenate your skin with The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane. This moderate-strength retinol serum is designed to target visible signs of aging while helping improve skin texture and promote a more even-looking complexion.

Formulated with 0.5% retinol, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone by supporting the skin's natural renewal process. Added squalane provides lightweight hydration to help minimize the dryness often associated with retinol, leaving skin feeling softer and more comfortable.

Ideal for those who have already introduced retinol into their routine, this water-free formula is best applied in the evening as part of your nighttime skincare regimen.

Why you'll love it:

  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Improves uneven skin texture and tone.
  • Hydrates with nourishing squalane to help reduce dryness.
  • Moderate-strength formula for experienced retinol users.
  • Alcohol-free, silicone-free, gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Storage: Once opened, refrigerate the serum and use it within 3 months for optimal freshness and performance.

A great next step for anyone ready to advance their retinol routine and achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant-looking skin.

Apply a few drops to the face in the evening.

Do not use with other retinoid products.

Use sun protection during the day.

Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of use while skin builds tolerance.

Refrigerate after opening.

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.
