The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane: The Key to Age Reversal
Say goodbye to wrinkles and blemishes with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane. This revolutionary formula is water and silicone-free and features highly stable retinol – a powerful ingredient known to reduce the appearance of ageing with impressive results.
Retinol encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier and softer skin while effectively tackling blemishes, dark spots and defying signs of ageing. It does this by softening the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone.
It's no secret that retinol can cause significant irritation like redness and peeling, but fear not as you build up your skin's tolerance to retinol with a lower concentration like this to minimise discomfort. With Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, your skin will look younger and revitalised in no time. Get yours now and experience the wonders of age reversal.
I use this product in the evening. First I double cleanse, use a glycolic acid toner then apply the retinol followed by my moisturiser. I have found my skin to have a lot less break outs since using this and is much healthier in appearance. I haven’t really noticed a difference in fine lines. The product itself is very oily and takes a while to sink in, not great when you are tired before bed but it is worth it for the results. I started with the 0.2% product as a precaution but I think I’m ready to move up to the 0.5% active content soon. I just need to finish the bottle.

I am in my mid 30's with combination, fair tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is medium brown, combination with coarse texture.
I bought this after reading how good retinol is for fine lines and I was disappointed. I use it every other night (probably for the past 4 months) And my skin is smoother, plumper and has a lovely glow. I used to have quite bad acne so I was sceptical of using an oil on my face but I would really recommend this product, I’m almost out and I will be buying it again in a stronger concentration.

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with oily, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is dark brown, processed with normal texture.
I have been using this for around a month now and the results have been brilliant. In the first 2-4 days I had minor breakout but they literally came and went. Since then my skin has been glowing, my pores have shrunk and my skin feels amazing. I highly recommend this gets added to your skincare routine it’s insane and for £4.80 it’s a bargain. I’m ready to move to the 0.5 but nowhere has stock!
I didn’t change the rest of my routine, I just slipped this in every evening in between my usual serum and night cream.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with combination, fair tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is blonde, combination with normal texture.
I started using this Retinol around 6 weeks ago as I have hyperpigmentation and scarring from hormonal acne. My skin type is combination, with dry under eye area. I apply the product as part of my night time routine - cleanse, tone and then apply two drops of the Retinol all over my face. I leave it for about 5 mins and then apply a night cream. I normally resemble a grease ball but by morning it has all absorbed. I've not experienced any reaction in terms of dryness, redness or peeling and I think my scars and pigmentation have slightly reduced as has the overall look - brighter & healthier.
