Retinol Serum 0.5% in Squalane Solution from The Ordinary 30ml

• This ultra-firm, water-free, powerful age-defying solution features 0.5% pure retinol. This special form of Vitamin A has been shown to reduce fine lines, improve pigmentation problems, revitalize the skin and make it look fresher and more youthful. Since retinol can cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends starting your regimen with lower concentrations (such as {Rintol 0.2% N-Squalene}) to allow the skin to build tolerance.
• the description
• Free of water and silicones, The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% Squalane contains highly stabilized retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of aging with impressive results. Retinol, a powerful form of Vitamin A, encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, smoother skin while also treating spots and dark spots and challenging the signs of aging – including softening the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone. Retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling – but many feel that its significant effects balance this out; The Ordinary recommends building your skin's tolerance to retinol with lower concentrations such as {Rintol 0.2% N-Squalene} to reduce discomfort.
• How to use
• Apply a small amount to the face in the evening as part of your skincare regime, after water serums but before heavy treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to avoid any skin care products containing retinoids such as Granivac or Retinol preparations.
• CAUTION: Retinoids can make skin more sensitive to UV rays. Sun protection is especially important when using retinoids. This product should not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a cure for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.
