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

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Solution - 30 ml This highly stable, water-free, and potent solution that defies aging with pure retinol at 0.5%. This particular form of vitamin A has been proven to reduce fine lines, improve pigmentation issues, rejuvenate the skin, and make it look more fresh and youthful. Since retinol can cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends starting your routine with lower concentrations (such as {Retinol 0.2% in Squalane}) to allow the skin to build tolerance. Description: Water-free and silicone-free, The Ordinary 0.5% retinol in squalane contains highly stable retinol, a component that can reduce the appearance of aging with impressive results. Retinol, a powerful form of vitamin A, promotes cell turnover, revealing healthier and smoother skin while also treating spots and dark patches and challenging signs of aging — including softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and uneven tone. Retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling — but many feel its important effects balance this; The Ordinary recommends building your skin's tolerance to retinol with lower concentrations like {Retinol 0.2% in Squalane} to reduce discomfort.
