The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a lightweight, beginner-friendly retinoid formulation designed to introduce your skin to vitamin A benefits. This stabilized retinol concentration works to address fine lines, uneven texture, and skin clarity while minimizing irritation. Suspended in squalane—a skin-conditioning emollient—this serum delivers hydration alongside its anti-aging properties. Ideal for those new to retinoids or with sensitive skin, it supports a gradual approach to building retinol tolerance. Apply sparingly in evening routines, starting with 2-3 times weekly.
