The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane
The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a high strength retinol serum designed for skincare routines focused on the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone and visible texture. It combines 1% retinol with squalane in an oil based formula.
Because 1% retinol is a high-strength option, it is generally more suitable for experienced retinoid users than for people who are completely new to retinol.
