Retinol 0.5% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 0.5% retinol - an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine lines that can arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening the appearance of skin texture and tone. What's more, this intermediate formulation is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes to help it better withstand the drying effects of retinol.
The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.
