What’s more, this expert-level formula is supported with squalane, a conditioning agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes skin to help target the dryness that can be associated with retinol use. The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion. For more tips on how to use Retinoids, be sure to explore our Retinoid Guide. Note: Once opened, this formula should be refrigerated and used within a three-month period. Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Caused me no irritation using it on my forehead and number 11 lines at night. Feels moisturising, which I wasn't expecting. Noticed lines less visible and its only been 3 times a week at night for 2 months. Also used on a very stubborn dark patche of rough skin on my outter ankle and it has almost gone after 15 years of trying so many things! Review: For body- the best! - Great product to use on the body. I would be worried to use on my face as it's oily and I could easily smear into my eyes, and I prefer on my face a different, slower release delivery system. On arms, and legs it's wonderful and the price is unbeatable! I recommend it! ## Features - HIGH-STRENGTH RETINOL FORMULA: Retinol 1% in Squalane targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture with a potent 1% retinol concentration. - IIMPROVES TEXTURE & TONE: Works to even out skin texture and tone, addressing signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles from the loss of collagen and elastin. - CONDITIONS & NOURISHES: Supported with squalane, a conditioning agent that nourishes skin to help target dryness associated with retinol use. - IDEAL FOR EXPERT USERS: Best for users who have built tolerance to lower-strength retinol.

I used to use tretinoin under the eyes and wondered if this one would work for wrinkles there** A: I use it quite close under the eye but I think the key with retinol is start off on the lowest % and build it up otherwise the skin can react. Tbh I would seek a qualified persons advice before hitting a 1% retinol ☺️ **Q: how much vitamin A (retinol) in this? In IU, not percentage.** A: I purchased this and it turned out to be a fake product, only buy from the ordinary ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good!
