The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane 30ml
Reduce Fine Lines and Improve Skin Texture with Low-Strength Retinol
The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a water-free, low-strength retinol solution designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance skin clarity. Retinol is a well-known anti-aging ingredient that stimulates cell turnover and promotes collagen production. By starting with a lower concentration (0.2%), this formula is ideal for those new to retinol treatments, providing effective results while minimizing irritation. The addition of squalane, a deeply hydrating ingredient, helps to nourish the skin, leaving it soft and smooth.
Key Features:
- Retinol (0.2%): A form of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improves skin texture.
- Squalane: A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that hydrates and nourishes the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth without clogging pores.
- Low-Strength Formula: Suitable for beginners who are new to retinol, this low-concentration formula minimizes irritation while still providing anti-aging benefits.
- Water-Free & Stable: The anhydrous (water-free) solution ensures that the retinol remains stable and effective.
Benefits:
- Reduces Fine Lines: Regular use helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother complexion.
- Improves Skin Texture: Retinol helps to exfoliate the skin, improving texture and giving the skin a more even tone.
- Promotes Collagen Production: Encourages the production of collagen, which helps to firm and plump the skin over time.
- Hydrating: Squalane ensures that the skin remains hydrated and nourished, helping to prevent dryness and flakiness often associated with retinol use.
- Non-Irritating: A gentle, low-strength formulation that minimizes irritation for those with sensitive skin or new retinol users.
How to Use:
