The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml

This water-free solution contains 0.2% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearances of fine lines, of photo damage and of general skin aging. While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation. For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. Advanced Anti-Aging: Reduce the signs of aging with this powerful retinol formula, promoting smoother, younger-looking skin.
2. Improved Skin Texture: Achieve a smoother and more refined complexion, thanks to the skin-renewing properties of retinol.
3. Fades Age Spots: Say goodbye to age spots and uneven skin tone for a more youthful appearance.
4. Deep Hydration: Squalane infuses your skin with moisture, ensuring a dewy and fresh look.
5. Gentle and Effective: Our 0.2% retinol concentration is perfect for those new to retinol, delivering results without irritation.
6. Visible Results: Noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone within weeks of regular use.
7. Cruelty-Free: We’re committed to ethical skincare – our products are never tested on animals.

Caution: Retinol can cause significant irritation, redness and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regimen with our Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and adjust to higher strengths of Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane as your skin builds tolerance. You will achieve the same end results without the unpleasant redness and peeling along the way.

Note: Water can affect the stability of retinol. Additionally, plant oils in retinol formulations can trigger lipid peroxidation and can impair retinol integrity. This formula does not contain water, silicones, plant oils or alcohol.
