Description

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a water-free solution that contains 0.2% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearances of fine lines, photo damage and general skin ageing.

 Key benefits of The Ordinary - Retinol 0.2% in Squalane:

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines
  • Water-free
  • Alcohol-free
  • Silicone-free
  • Vegan & cruelty-free. 

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.

Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)
Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No to Low Irritation)

I recommend this product
Affordable, Smells Great & it Works!

I'm already seeing the benefits of using this mild retinol product - and I've experienced no peeling or red skin so far. I was concerned it would smell chemically, but it's kind of sweet and not triggering any migraines, like other products can. Definitely an advocate and highly recommend!
