Retinol 0.5% in Squalane
Description:
Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a water-free solution containing 0.5% retinol, a potent ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines caused by a loss of collagen and elastin. This formula also evens out skin texture and tone. Enhanced with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in the skin, it provides surface-level hydration and helps counteract the dryness associated with retinol use.
Key Benefits:
- Improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines
- Evens out skin texture and tone
- Provides surface-level hydration
- Helps combat dryness associated with retinol use
The Ordinary Tip:
Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and gradually increase to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. For those prone to sensitivity, newer retinoid technologies like those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion may be preferable. Sun protection is crucial when using retinoids.
Caution:
Retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation. Sun protection is essential. This product should not be used with other retinoid products. Not intended for acne treatment. Avoid use when pregnant or breastfeeding.
