The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane – 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle, water-free solution designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture. With 0.2% retinol, a powerful vitamin A derivative, this formula targets signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin tone and texture. The addition of squalane, a natural moisturizing agent, helps to prevent the dryness often associated with retinol use, keeping your skin hydrated and nourished.

Key Features:

1. 0.2% Retinol: Known for its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, retinol works by increasing cell turnover and collagen production, improving skin’s overall appearance.
2. Squalane for Hydration: Squalane is a naturally occurring moisturizing agent that helps to maintain skin hydration, preventing the dryness and irritation commonly associated with retinol.
3. Even Skin Tone and Texture: This formulation helps to even out skin tone and smooth out texture, leaving the skin feeling soft and appearing more youthful with regular use.
4. Gentle Formula: As an entry-level retinol, this 0.2% concentration is ideal for those new to retinoids or those with sensitive skin, offering a gentle introduction before progressing to higher concentrations.
5. Storage and Use: Once opened, this product should be refrigerated and used within three months for optimal freshness and effectiveness.

Usage Instructions:

• Apply in the evening after cleansing and toning, using a small amount to the face.
• Gradually introduce into your skincare routine, starting with 2-3 times a week and slowly increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
• Always follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases skin sensitivity to UV rays.

Caution:

• Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Sun protection is essential when using retinoids.
• This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids, including retinol or retinoic acid.
• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the potential risks of retinoid exposure.

With regular use, The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane helps promote smoother, more youthful-looking skin while combating the visible signs of aging. Perfect for those just beginning their retinol journey!
