FAQs
How does Retinol 0.5% in Squalane support skin concerns?
The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane targets visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. This serum also contains squalane, a conditioning agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes skin to help target dryness associated with retinol use.
When should I use Retinol 0.5% in Squalane?
Apply Retinol 0.5% in Squalane during the Treat stage of your PM routine, after cleansers (Prep) and before moisturizing creams (Seal).
Can I use Retinol 0.5% in Squalane with other ingredients?
Avoid combining The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane with other retinoids, direct acids, or vitamin C to reduce the risk of irritation. Always check the formulation's usage details for more information.
Is Retinol 0.5% in Squalane suitable for all skin types?
Retinol can cause irritation, particularly for sensitive skin. We recommend starting slowly and performing a patch test before full use. For those new to retinoids, you may wish to explore our Granctive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.
Does Retinol 0.5% in Squalane increase sun sensitivity?
Retinols may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. We recommend using this formulation in the evening and applying sun protection when using it during the day.
