Beginner Retinol • Smoother Texture • Even Tone

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle, water-free retinol serum designed for beginners. Formulated with 0.2% pure retinol, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines caused by collagen and elastin loss, while smoothing skin texture and evening out skin tone.
The formula is suspended in squalane, a skin-identical moisturizing ingredient that boosts hydration and helps reduce the dryness often associated with retinol use.

Key Benefits:

Helps reduce the appearance of fine and dynamic lines
Improves skin texture and tone
Beginner-friendly retinol concentration (0.2%)
Water-free formula for enhanced stability
Squalane provides surface hydration and comfort
Supports gradual skin renewal with minimized irritation

How to Use:

Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the evening only.
Follow with a moisturizer.
Start 2–3 times per week and increase gradually as tolerated.
Always use sunscreen during the day.
Do not use with other retinoids in the same routine.

The Ordinary Tip:

Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, then progress to 0.5% or 1% if your skin tolerates it.
If your skin is very sensitive, consider Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion as a gentler alternative.
