The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane
Product Description
Water- and silicone-free, The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane features highly stable retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of aging with impressive results. A powerhouse form of vitamin A, retinol encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, softer skin while also tackling blemishes, dark spots, and defying signs of aging – including softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven tone. Retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling – but many feel that its significant effects counterbalance this; The Ordinary recommends building your skin’s tolerance to retinol with lower concentrations such as {Retinol 0.2% in Squalane} to minimize discomfort.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to the face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use it with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. If persistent irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin.
