The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane

The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane is another popular skincare product from The Ordinary brand. Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and is well-known for its anti-aging properties. It can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture.

Squalane is a plant-derived oil that is commonly used as a moisturizing ingredient in skincare products. It helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it soft and supple.

The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane is formulated with a 1% concentration of retinol, which is considered a relatively strong concentration. As such, it is recommended for those who are experienced with retinol or have already built up a tolerance to lower concentrations.

When using this product, it’s important to start slowly and gradually introduce it into your skincare routine. Begin by applying a small amount, about a pea-sized drop, to cleansed and dry skin in the evening. It’s generally recommended to use retinol products at night, as they can increase sensitivity to sunlight.

It’s worth noting that retinol can cause initial side effects such as dryness, redness, or peeling as your skin adjusts to the product. It’s essential to monitor your skin’s reaction and adjust the frequency and amount of product used accordingly. It’s also crucial to wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol products, as they can increase sun sensitivity.

If you’re new to retinol or have sensitive skin, you may want to consider starting with a lower concentration and gradually working your way up to 1% to minimize potential irritation.

As always, if you have specific concerns or questions about using retinol or The Ordinary Retinol 1% In Squalane, it’s best to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional for personalized advice.
