Begin your anti-aging journey with this gentle 0.2% retinol serum formulated specifically for those new to retinoids or with delicate skin.
The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane offers an expertly balanced introduction to vitamin A therapy. This carefully formulated serum delivers clinical-strength retinol at a concentration that respects your skin's natural barrier while promoting visible improvements in texture and tone. The addition of plant-derived squalane creates a cushioning base that helps your skin adapt to retinol gradually, reducing the likelihood of common side effects like redness or flaking.
This 30ml treatment works progressively to encourage cellular turnover, revealing smoother, more refined skin over time. The lightweight oil-based texture absorbs quickly without greasiness, making it an ideal evening treatment. Start by applying 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Pair with sunscreen during the day for optimal results and protection.
