Product overview
Description
The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a water-free, moderate-strength serum containing 0.5% pure Retinol, designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, photodamage, and general signs of skin aging.
Key Ingredients
- Retinol (0.5%) — a form of Vitamin A that increases skin cell turnover and supports collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve texture
- Squalane — a moisturizing agent naturally found in skin that helps nourish and offset the drying effects of retinol
- Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract & Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract — antioxidants that help counteract environmental damage
Key Features
- Water-free, highly stable serum formulation
- Moderate-strength formula, ideal for those who have already used lower-strength retinol products
- Suitable as a follow-on treatment after Retinol 0.2% in Squalane
Benefits
- Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and photodamage
- Helps even out the appearance of skin texture and tone
- Nourishes skin with squalane to help reduce dryness associated with retinol use
Who Can Use This Product
- Those experienced with retinol looking for a moderate-strength formula
- People wanting to address fine lines and signs of skin aging
- Not recommended for first-time retinol users, who should start with a lower-strength formula
How to Use
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments, direct acids, or Vitamin C. Always use sun protection during the day.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling in the early stages of use. If persistent irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How should a beginner introduce The Ordinary Retinol serum into their routine?
A: Start by using it just once or twice a week at night, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance, since retinol can cause dryness or flaking if introduced too quickly. Always follow it the next morning with sunscreen, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.
Q: Can The Ordinary Retinol serum be used during the day?
A: It is meant for nighttime use, since retinol can break down in sunlight and also makes skin more sensitive to UV exposure. Use a separate daytime routine with sunscreen instead.
Q: Is The Ordinary Retinol serum safe to use during pregnancy?
A: Retinoid ingredients like retinol are generally advised against during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so check with a doctor before using this serum if either applies to you. Many people choose to pause retinol use and switch to a pregnancy-safe alternative during this time.
Q: Why does squalane appear in The Ordinary Retinol serum?
A: Squalane is included as a moisturizing, water-free base that helps carry the retinol while also reducing the risk of irritation compared to some other retinol formulations. It helps keep skin comfortable while the retinol does its work.
Q: Can The Ordinary Retinol serum be mixed with a moisturizer to reduce irritation?
A: Yes, mixing a small amount with your regular moisturizer, sometimes called "buffering," is a common way to ease a new user into retinol with less dryness or peeling. As tolerance builds, you can apply it on its own if you prefer.
Q: Does The Ordinary Retinol serum cause purging or breakouts when starting out?
A: Some people experience temporary dryness, redness, or flaking as their skin adjusts, sometimes mistaken for a breakout, especially in the first few weeks. If irritation is severe or does not settle after reducing frequency, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
Q: How long does it take to see results from The Ordinary Retinol serum?
A: Visible improvement in fine lines and skin texture generally takes several weeks to a few months of consistent, correct use, since retinol works by gradually increasing skin cell turnover. Patience and consistency matter more than using it more often than recommended.
