A mild retinol serum that targets general signs of skin aging.
Targets: Signs of Aging, Dryness, Textural Irregularities, Uneven Skin Tone
Suited for All Skin Types
Format: Anhydrous Serum
Retinol 0.2% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 0.2% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this entry-level formula is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that enhances surface-level hydration and helps combat the dryness that can be associated with retinol use.
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.
Note: Once opened, this formula should be refrigerated and used within a three-month period.
Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne.
Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.
Do not use Retinol 0.2% in Squalane with Copper Peptides, Direct Acids, Direct Vitamin C, Retinoids.
Use in PM. Apply a few drops to the face in the evening. Do not use with other retinoid products.
Refrigerate after opening.
Use sun protection during the day. Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of use while skin builds tolerance.
If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
Good for 3 months after opening.

Have been applying on alternate days. It's gentle, no adverse effect. But don't have noticeable difference on pores and skin. I feel It's a bit oily with the squalene formula. May not purchase this in the future.

It feels a little oily on the skin so is better to use at night. I feel that it reduces my pimples and scarring

Even though this contains Squalane which is oil-based it doesn't feel too oily on the skin. I literally can't feel it on my skin. It kinda has a strange smell but its not too overpowering and at least it's not perfume scent as that can irritate skin very easily. It's also not too strong so it's good for not having tried Retinol before as it never tingled or caused my skin to peel. I can definitely see a difference in my skin but for retinol, it has to be used for up to 3 months to have a visible result as it does have to adjust to your skin anyways but its been 1 month and I can see its subtle effects with the fine lines and acne scars and any new acne that pops up is instantly shot down and just disappears overnight.

Oily feel. Felt itchy around the mouth area but ok for the rest of the face. It does not sit well so apply it hours before bed time.

Not a fan of the yellow and oily feel, but that's squalene. No breakout so far.

Product causes no irritation to skin due to low concentration. Smells like oil but absorbs well into skin.

I use this as part of my nighttime skincare routine. This is a good product to use for beginners who want to start on retinol! Leaves a tingling sensation on my skin upon initial use so I suggest applying this over your moisturiser first. A little bit goes a long way so 3-4 drops for the face is enough :) & although this product contains Squalene (oil-based) it doesn't feel too oily or heavy for the skin!! Remember to wear sunscreen in the day if you're using retinol!!!!! :)

great product, my mother tried it on her aging skin and saw obvious effects within 2 days! :D maybe it's just her imagination, so will edit again after finishing the bottle!

started with this retinol as its in lesser concentration, and heard that its more stable than retinoid, but may give you more sensitivity. so far after 1 month+, i havent had very adverse effects using it, considering i only use it 1x every week. i always use sunscreen after.

Great entry into using retinol - in terms of irritation and price. I have crazy sensitive skin and this hardly irritated or dried it out with the right moisturising steps.
