Unlock smoother, firmer skin with The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane. This high-strength yet gentle serum combines pure retinol with hydrating squalane to target fine lines, uneven texture, and signs of aging—without the drying effects of traditional retinol products. Designed for nightly use, its lightweight oil base absorbs quickly, leaving skin balanced and radiant by morning.
Why This Serum Works
Retinol is the gold standard ingredient for improving cell turnover and boosting collagen production. When paired with squalane—a plant-derived emollient that mimics your skin’s natural oils—it delivers intense hydration and minimizes irritation. The result is a potent anti-wrinkle treatment that refines pores, calms redness, and restores youthful resilience over time.
