The Ordinary - myru review for Retinol 0.2% in Squalane

Application It's an oil based serum, so it takes more time to absorb and it leaves a greasy feeling. I personally do not consider it a huge drawback, because your're supposed to use it in the evening. Experience It didn't cause me any purging, even weeks after using it. Still, I did not notice any benefits form the retinol, like smoother skin or faded pigmentation, which makes me doubt the efficacy of the formulation. The squalene oil felt very nourishing, but that was the only benefit I got from this serum.
