The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (Set of 2) - 30ml x 2 Anti-Aging & Skin-Renewing Serum for Beginners

Start your anti-aging journey with The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane. This entry-level serum features a highly stable, water-free formula with 0.2% Pure Retinol, a powerhouse ingredient scientifically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin unevenness. To minimize the irritation and dryness often associated with retinol, it is suspended in Squalane—a lightweight, plant-derived oil that mimics skin’s natural moisture to provide deep hydration and a smooth finish. This Set of 2 ensures a consistent night-time routine to gradually build your skin's tolerance for a clearer, firmer, and more youthful complexion.

Key Features Beginner-Friendly Retinol: A gentle 0.2% concentration is ideal for those new to retinol or with sensitive skin, allowing the skin to adjust without heavy peeling.

Skin Surface Renewal: Accelerates cell turnover to improve skin texture, clear clogged pores, and fade the look of dark spots and sun damage.

Hydrating Squalane Base: Unlike water-based serums, this oil-like formula prevents moisture loss and reinforces the skin barrier while you sleep.

Stable & Water-Free: Formulated without water to protect the potency of the retinol, ensuring maximum results until the last drop.

How to Use Ideally in the PM: Apply a small amount to the entire face in the evening, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments.

Limit Initial Use: Use 2–3 times a week at first, then gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.

Sunburn Alert: Retinol increases sun sensitivity. Always apply a high-SPF sunscreen the following morning.

Storage Tip: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place or refrigerate after opening to maintain the stability of the active retinol.

Warning: Do not use with other retinoid treatments (like Granactive Retinoid) or strong acids (AHAs/BHAs) in the same routine.
