The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml – High-Strength Retinol Serum for Advanced Anti-Aging Care
The Ordinary Retinol 1% Squalane is an advanced facial serum designed for experienced retinol users seeking visible improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, skin texture, and overall skin appearance. Formulated with 1% pure Retinol suspended in a nourishing Squalane base, this water-free treatment promotes smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin through continuous skin renewal.
Retinol is one of the most extensively researched ingredients in modern skincare and is widely recognized for its ability to improve visible signs of aging. Regular use helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and sun-related skin damage while supporting a brighter and more refined complexion.
Unlike many retinol products that contain water or unnecessary fillers, this formula uses a stable, water-free base to help preserve retinol potency while Squalane provides lightweight hydration to improve skin comfort during treatment.
Because this is the highest-strength Retinol serum offered by The Ordinary, it is recommended for users whose skin has already developed tolerance to lower-strength retinol products.

Why Choose The Ordinary Retinol 1% Squalane?
As skin ages, natural collagen production gradually slows, leading to visible fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and reduced skin firmness. Environmental factors such as UV exposure can further accelerate these changes.
The Ordinary Retinol 1% Squalane targets these concerns by encouraging skin renewal while improving overall skin appearance over time. Its concentrated formulation delivers noticeable anti-aging benefits while the Squalane base helps reduce dryness commonly associated with retinol treatments.
This serum is an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Rough skin
- Photoaging
- Loss of firmness
- Dull complexion
- Early signs of aging
With consistent use and proper sun protection, skin gradually appears smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
What Is Retinol?
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is considered one of the most effective skincare ingredients for addressing visible signs of aging. It promotes natural skin cell turnover, helping replace older surface cells with newer, healthier-looking skin.
As skin renews itself more efficiently, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, and uneven tone gradually improves.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, retinoids and retinol are among the most well-researched ingredients for improving signs of photoaging and promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin.

How to Use The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml?
Using The Ordinary Retinol 1% Squalane correctly is essential for achieving the best anti-aging results while minimizing irritation. Because this is a high-strength retinol serum, it should only be used in your evening skincare routine.
Evening Routine
- Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser and pat the skin completely dry.
- If you use water-based serums, apply them first and allow them to absorb fully.
- Apply 2–3 drops of The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane evenly over the face, avoiding the eye area, lips, and broken skin.
- Follow with a moisturizer if additional hydration is needed.
Use the serum only in the evening. If you are transitioning from a lower-strength retinol product, begin by applying it two or three nights per week before increasing the frequency based on your skin’s tolerance.
Morning Routine After Retinol
Retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Every morning after using this serum, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with adequate SPF before going outdoors. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends daily sunscreen use to help protect the skin from UV damage and reduce premature skin aging.
Important Precautions
Since this formula contains a high concentration of pure Retinol, following proper usage guidelines is important.
- Use only during your evening skincare routine.
- Apply only to clean, dry, and unbroken skin.
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes and lips.
- Always perform a patch test before first use.
- Do not combine with other retinoid products.
- Wear sunscreen daily while using Retinol.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight.
Some users may experience temporary redness, peeling, dryness, or mild irritation during the first few weeks as the skin develops tolerance. If irritation becomes severe or persistent, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
