Pure Retinol Face Serum 0.5% The Ordinary 30 ml

This water-free solution contains 0.5% of pure retinol that contributes to reducing the appearance of fine lines, skin damage, and overall skin aging. Retinol has undergone many studies and its effectiveness has been proven, but it still causes skin irritation, so newer techniques have emerged that work with the same efficiency as retinol without causing skin irritation. Therefore, we recommend the alternative formulation consisting of Granactive Retinoid at 2% or Granactive Retinoid at 5%. Warning: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and severe peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth in the early stages of treatment while the skin builds tolerance. If you have not used high-strength retinol formulations before, we strongly recommend starting your retinol regimen with 0.2% retinol in squalane and gradually adapting to higher strengths with 0.5% retinol in squalane and 1% retinol in squalane as your skin adjusts to this substance. You will achieve the same final results without the annoying redness and peeling effects associated with retinol treatment. Note: Water affects the stability of retinol. Additionally, plant oils present in retinol formulations can lead to fat oxidation and weaken retinol quality. This formulation contains no water, silicones, plant oils, or alcohol. Warning: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so sun protection products should be used during retinoid use. Do not use this product with other retinoid materials including retinol or tretinoin. This product does not treat acne. Skin prone to acne may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any retinoid formulations, including the retinoid used in this formulation. Note: It is recommended to avoid using any skincare products containing retinoid materials, such as formulations containing Granactive Retinoid or retinol, during pregnancy or breastfeeding. How to use: Apply a small amount to the face in the evening after the water-based serum but before applying heavy treatments as part of the skincare routine. Do not use it with other retinoid treatments. Avoid sun exposure without applying a sunscreen when walking. Warning: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth in the early stages of treatment while the skin builds tolerance. Stop using the product and consult a doctor if skin irritation occurs and persists. Use it only as directed on non-chapped or non-wounded skin. It is recommended to test on a small skin area before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in the refrigerator after opening.
