The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle, beginner-friendly retinol serum designed to smooth fine lines, improve skin texture, and promote a more even, radiant complexion. Formulated with 0.2% pure Retinol, it supports collagen production and helps reduce early signs of aging without overwhelming the skin—making it ideal for those new to retinoids.

This water-free solution is suspended in Squalane, a lightweight, non-greasy emollient that deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. Squalane helps minimize irritation and dryness often linked to retinol use, ensuring a more comfortable and balanced application.

With consistent use, this serum helps refine texture, soften lines, and enhance overall skin smoothness, revealing a healthier, more youthful look. Suitable for dry, normal, and combination skin types.
