Description
Who is it for?
Loss of Elasticity
Introduction
A lightweight anti-ageing serum treatment with a high concentration of powerful retinol in a squalane base: a plant-derived emollient that offers soothing hydration.
- Visibly reduces the signs of aging, diminishing the look of wrinkles and fine lines
- Brightens dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Smooths and refines the skin’s texture
How to Use:
- Apply a small amount at night before oils, moisturizers, and creams
- Do not use this serum with other products containing retinoids, such as retinoic acid
- Retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation: we recommend wearing SPF sunscreen during the day
- If irritation occurs, this product can be diluted to reduce its strength
BeautyFeatures Style Guide:
- Please be aware that Retinol can cause significant irritation in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance.
- If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regimen with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and adjust to higher strengths of Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and this product as your skin builds tolerance.

Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you may experience a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your regimen. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test below based on the type of product.
- Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
- Keep the area dry.
- If the product has a specified duration of use, rinse off after this time has elapsed. Otherwise rinse off after 24 hours.
- If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.

Love love love
I am 53, Botox not for me, so skin care top of my list and I have to say, The Odinary Retinol, DOES WORK, A definite reduction in my fine lines, in certain lighting , they’re gone, unfortunately not so much the deeper lines, but I probably left it too late to start… it works!!! Buy it !!! I use every night after cleansing.

This product ticks all the boxes:good value, easy to use, and it works.My skin has improved, it is fresh,smooth and clear.l did not have any side effects, but l advise those who haven't used retinol before to take things slowly maybe once or twice weekly to begin.

I can’t say anything about
I can’t say anything about product as I am using this only few weeks

Good Price
This is the first retinol I have used and I realized after buying that it can be a tricky product. I only use a tiny amount at a time as a spot treatment and it dries up blemishes extremely quickly. I am careful to only use it when I am going to be out of the sun to avoid peeling. As with all products from The Ordinary - the price can't be beat
-
I love everything with this product!
I stumbled across this product looking for an alternative to a more expensive retinoid product. I love everything about this product! My skin has never looked so healthy. This product has improved my texture issues, decreased breakouts, and made my skin look plump and hydrated. I could not ask for anything more. And the price is incredible!

Works very well
I live every thing I've ever tried from them. This product is clinical and super affordable and works!!! I was very impressed with results in such a short period of time. High quality ingredients
-
This is amazing for the price
I've been using this product for about two weeks now. I use it every other day because I know it's a very strong product but aside from some initial dryness I've had great results! I definitely would recommend this product to anybody looking to clear blemishes and reduce pore size.
