The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml

Begin your retinol journey with confidence 🌙

Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a mild, water-free retinol serum designed for those new to retinoids or seeking a gentle introduction to age support skincare. This beginner-friendly formula helps improve the appearance of early signs of ageing, uneven skin tone and textural irregularities, while maintaining skin comfort.

Formulated with 0.2% pure retinol, a proven vitamin A derivative, this serum supports skin renewal and helps smooth the look of fine lines caused by collagen and elastin loss. The anhydrous, oil-based formula is enriched with squalane, a lightweight moisturising ingredient naturally found in the skin, helping to reduce dryness commonly associated with retinol use.

With continued use, skin appears smoother, more refined and more even-looking, making this an ideal first step before progressing to higher strength retinol formulas. Especially suited to dry skin, this gentle serum balances effectiveness with hydration.
