✨The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 30ml ✨
As per the product description..this water-free solution contains 0.5% pure Retinol - an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of fine lines - photodamage and general skin ageing.
Benefit: Anti-ageing, Collagen Boosting, Renewal, Skin Elasticity, Soft Skin, Tone
It is a medium-strength treatment that delivers excellent anti-aging benefits. Retinol stimulates skin cell renewal so that skin acts and looks younger. It helps to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles and photo damage.
Squalane, a saturated oil that's used in skin care products as a moisturizer, helps increase hydration, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, can help with acne and eczema.
✨My thoughts✨
I have used it for a couple of months on alternate days. The results are definitely visible with the even toned skin and less blemishes and because of the squalene content, it’s also quite oily on application which I do not mind at all since I only use it at night.
Make sure to up with a good sunscreen before going out in the sun.
It’s a good product overall with a good baseline of 0.5% Retinol which is a good start for most beginners and with this product, I’ve definitely not experienced purging (though it may vary from person to person )
I like this product but would like to try other retinol products without squalene in it in the future.
