The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Solution 30ml

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Solution 30ml: Why This? This ultra-stable, water-free, and powerful age-defying solution features pure 0.5% retinol. This special form of vitamin A has been shown to reduce fine lines, improve pigmentation issues, and revitalize skin for a more youthful, radiant appearance. Since retinol can cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends starting your regimen with lower concentrations (such as {Retinol 0.2% in Squalane}) to allow skin to build up tolerance. Description: Water- and silicone-free, The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane contains highly stable retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of ageing with impressive results. A powerful form of vitamin A, retinol encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, smoother skin while also addressing dark spots and discolorations and defying signs of ageing—including softening the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone. Retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling – but many feel that its significant effects balance this out; The Ordinary recommends building your skin’s tolerance to retinol with lower concentrations such as Retinol 0.2% with Squalane to minimize discomfort. How to use: Apply a small amount to the face in the evening as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry place. Note: If pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as Granifac or Retinol. Warning: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays. Sun protection is especially important when using retinoids. This product should not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.
