The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle, oil-based retinol serum designed to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and enhance cell renewal without heavy irritation. Formulated with 0.2% pure retinol (a vitamin A derivative) suspended in squalane, it delivers anti-aging benefits while keeping skin hydrated and balanced.

Key Benefits:

✔ Anti-Aging Power – Stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, and improves skin elasticity.
✔ Gentle Yet Effective – A low 0.2% retinol concentration makes it ideal for beginners or sensitive skin.
✔ Hydrating & Non-Drying – Squalane (a plant-derived lipid) prevents moisture loss and counteracts retinol’s potential dryness.
✔ Supports Skin Renewal – Encourages faster cell turnover for smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin.
✔ Non-Comedogenic – Lightweight and suitable for most skin types, including dry, combination, and acne-prone skin.

How to Use:

1. Patch test first (retinol can cause irritation).

2. Use at night only (retinol degrades in sunlight).

3. Apply 2-3 drops to dry skin after water-based serums but before heavier creams.

4. Start with 1-2x per week, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated.

5. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning (retinol increases sun sensitivity).
