The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml

Who is it for?

Loss of Elasticity

Introduction

A lightweight anti-ageing serum treatment with a high concentration of powerful retinol in a squalane base: a plant-derived emollient that offers soothing hydration.

• Visibly reduces the signs of aging, diminishing the look of wrinkles and fine lines
• Brightens dark spots and hyperpigmentation
• Smooths and refines the skin’s texture

How to Use:

• Apply a small amount at night before oils, moisturizers, and creams
• Do not use this serum with other products containing retinoids, such as retinoic acid
• Retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation: we recommend wearing SPF sunscreen during the day
• If irritation occurs, this product can be diluted to reduce its strength

BeautyFeatures Style Guide:

• Please be aware that Retinol can cause significant irritation in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance.
• If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regimen with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and adjust to higher strengths of Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and this product as your skin builds tolerance.

Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you may experience a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your regimen. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test below based on the type of product.

• Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
• Keep the area dry.
• If the product has a specified duration of use, rinse off after this time has elapsed. Otherwise rinse off after 24 hours.
• If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.
