The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 30ml

This water-free solution contains 0.5% 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.

Features and Key Benefits:

1. Enhanced Renewal: Experience accelerated skin renewal for a youthful look.
2. Wrinkle Reduction: Minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Age Spot Fade: Achieve a more even skin tone by reducing age spots.
4. Deep Hydration: Squalane keeps your skin hydrated and radiant.
5. Suitable for All: Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
6. Non-Greasy: Lightweight formula for comfortable, daily use.
7. Dermatologist-Approved: Trusted by professionals for quality and efficacy.

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.

How to Use:

• Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments.
• Do not use with other retinoid treatments.
• Avoid unprotected solar exposure.
• Use only as directed on unbroken skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Refrigerate after opening.
