The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle yet effective anti-aging serum that combines low-concentration retinol with moisturizing squalane. This entry-level retinol product helps improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging while minimizing potential irritation, making it ideal for retinol beginners. This product contains a 0.2% concentration of pure retinol suspended in squalane oil, making it an excellent starting point for those new to retinol treatments. The formula should be applied in the evening, starting with 1-2 times per week and gradually increasing frequency as tolerance builds. As with all retinol products, use of sunscreen during daytime is essential. The amber glass bottle helps protect the stability of the retinol.
