The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane provides an anhydrous 30ml solution for skin texture and photo-damage. Pure retinol at 0.5% concentration works inside a squalane base to target fine lines. Potency increases from the previous 0.2% strength to provide moderate resurfacing results.
Key Features
- Pure Retinol 0.5%: High-strength Vitamin A derivative for resurfacing skin texture. It targets fine lines through collagen production.
- Squalane Hydration: Plant-based agent mimicking natural skin surface oils. The base reduces irritation during adjustment.
- Anhydrous Formulation: Water-free solution to maintain retinol chemical stability. It stops active ingredients from degrading.
- Cold Storage: Three-month shelf life requiring refrigeration after opening. Cold temperatures prevent oxidation after opening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Ordinary Retinol 0.5 need to be refrigerated?
Store the bottle in a refrigerator immediately after the first use. Cold environments keep the unstable retinol molecules from breaking down.
Can I use The Ordinary Retinol 0.5 every night?
Apply this serum once or twice weekly until skin adapts. High humidity levels often increase sensitivity to active Vitamin A derivatives.
