The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a strong but effective treatment for improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging. It helps make my skin look smoother and more refined over time. I also like that the squalane base keeps my skin moisturized and prevents it from feeling too dry. Since it is a high-strength retinol, it is important to use it slowly and carefully, especially for beginners.

This retinol works gradually to improve skin texture, fade fine lines, and boost radiance. It’s effective yet beginner-friendly when introduced slowly, making it a great step toward youthful, healthier skin.

A silky, oil-based formula that delivers powerful anti-aging benefits. I started slowly (2x a week) to avoid irritation, and over time, I noticed smoother texture, softer fine lines, and a more even skin tone. The squalane makes it nourishing, so it doesn’t leave my skin parched. Sunscreen is a must when using this.

Amazing product,pricey but it delivers. It softens and smoothens wrinkles. At 52, leathery skin is unavoidable, this product took care of that problem. Highly recommended.

I've see this recommended by a Youtuber derma doctor, and he swear thay I will only need this product. And it really does the trick. It is an oil based moisturizer but it will not be oily. Even if you search the Squalane, it is highly praised because it will really penetrate the layer of your skin. My skin feels so refreshed waking up in the morning
