The Ordinary’s Retinol 1% in Squalane is a water- and silicone-free formulation featuring highly stable retinol, a potent form of vitamin A that delivers impressive anti-aging benefits. Retinol promotes cell turnover to reveal healthier, smoother skin and helps address blemishes, dark spots, and signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. While retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling, many users find its benefits outweigh these effects. To minimize discomfort, it’s recommended to build up your skin’s tolerance with lower concentrations of retinol first.
### How to Use
Apply a small amount to your face in the evening as part of your skincare routine, after water-based serums and before heavier treatments. Avoid using with other retinoid products and protect your skin from unprotected solar exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
**Caution:** Retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation. It is essential to use sun protection while using this product and for a week afterward.
