A Game-Changer for Anti-Aging and Smooth Skin â¨
I’ve been using The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane for a few weeks now, and I am already seeing amazing results. Hereâs my review:What I Love:Effective Anti-Aging Formula: The 1% retinol is potent and works wonders in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. My skin feels firmer and looks smoother every day.Squalane for Hydration: Unlike other retinol products that can be drying, the squalane in this formula helps keep my skin moisturized and prevents any irritation, which is crucial when using higher concentrations of retinol.Smooth Texture: It has a silky, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It doesn’t leave my skin sticky or heavy, making it perfect for my nighttime routine.Visible Results: After consistent use, Iâve noticed a significant improvement in my skin’s texture and tone. My skin looks more even, radiant, and youthful.Affordable Luxury: The Ordinary is known for offering high-quality products at an affordable price, and this retinol serum is no exception. It gives you the benefits of a high-strength retinol without the high price tag.Why Itâs Worth It: If you’re looking for a high-strength retinol serum that works to combat signs of aging, improve skin texture, and smooth out fine lines, The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a must-have in your skincare routine. It’s effective, gentle, and budget-friendly!â Rating: 5/5Definitely a staple in my skincare regimen now. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about skincare and anti-aging.

GREAT SKINCARE, GREATER PRICE!

Love this and this brand overall.
I love all products from this brand, everything they make is simple in ingredients, affordable, and never irritates my skin. This retinol is great, I will say PLEASE make sure to do your research before starting retinol because the wrong strength can cause your skin to peel and get dry. This product is the highest percentage you can get it, the ordinaryâs website tells you just about everything you need to know under the product description and they offer a lower percentage for people just starting retinol. If you are wondering if this product is right for you, they also have a feature on the website where you tell them your skin issues and they recommend products to you itâs cool to play around with. For me personally, I use this with the ordinary hyaluronic acid serum and it does pill a bit on my face if I donât let my serum soak in before using the retinol but thatâs my only complaint and I just wipe the pills off lightly with a face cloth and finish with the ordinary moisturizing factors lotion.

Effective!
I’ve been using for about a week now, and Iâm honestly really impressed. The texture is smooth and absorbs quickly into my skin without feeling greasy. Iâve noticed a significant improvement in my skinâs textureâit’s smoother and more even. Thereâs been a visible reduction in fine lines around my eyes, and my skin looks brighter overall. Itâs also gentle enough that I havenât experienced any irritation, which is a huge win for me! Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable, effective solution.

Game Changer for my nighttime routine.
TLDR;AMAZINF product- I absolutely would recommend.-target my fine lines and wrinkle-skin feels nourished and looks rejuvenated and plump-younger looking skin-doesnât break me out-plays nice with my other products of other brands.-only a few drops needed and spreads across face easily.-bottle lasts a good whileI heard the stories is what retinol could do but didnât think it would do this much.My skin is breakout prone, and this didnât break me out. What it did do was make my skin feel AMAZING. It felt soft, hydrated and nourished and looked even better.I added this to my nighttime routine and waking up in the morning my skin looks nourishes and plump. After a week of consistent use, my fine lines and crows feet really started to fade and now a month barely visible.The only down side for me is my skin seems more prone to sunburn, but spf is already important so itâs not a big deal for me.All in all I would recommend this product. The price and results for me are unbeatable.

Surprisingly wonderful
Yâall. This stuff WORKS. I never trust products like this to actually do their job but I took a chance and do not regret it!!! Iâm 26 now and starting to notice fine lines, specifically beside my mouth and some on my forehead. Since I started using this stuff theyâre pretty much gone. Itâs oily and gross until it seeps in, but goodness it actually works so I do not care. I am so relieved I didnât waste my money. Lol

Not impressed
First time using product. After three days my face feels burned and red. Maybe not the best to use it every day??

El efecto de este producto en la piel es muy bueno (llevo un mes usandolo), pero antes de comprarlo consideren que su duración indicada en el empaque es de solo 3 meses una vez abierto, resulta imposible terminarse el frasco en ese tiempo, más considerando el periodo de prueba y adaptación de la piel recomendado por dermatólogos, su concentración es 1%, bastante alto pero mi piel lo aceptó muy fácilmente, no me causó ninguna irritación ni descamación (posiblemente si lo haga en pieles secas o sensibles), otra cosa, la fórmula tiene squalane, para pieles grasas resulta incómodo porque se siente aceitoso, una sensación no agradable, pero no es comedogénico, solo es incómodo.
