The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml

About Product

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.
