About
Retinol 0.2% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 0.2% retinol – an ingredient known to improve the appearance of fine lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone. What’s more, this entry-level formulation is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that enhances surface-level hydration and helps combat 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.
