The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml
Product Description
This water-free solution contains 1% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearances of fine lines, of photo damage and of general skin ageing.
While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation.
For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.
Water-free, alcohol-free, nut-free, vegan, gluten-free.

I forgot to refrigerate as instructed.
It works very well for me but I forgot to refrigerate after opening as instructed. A few weeks have passed by. Is it safe to refrigerate now and continue use or I have to discontinue use and get another one. Thanks.

Acne holy grail
I have no idea why this isn't marketed as an acne product because it has done wonders for me. Currently going through second puberty and both of my siblings were on acutane for their intensely bad acne. I get wake up with a bad breakout wash my face and put this on before bed and wake up with clear skin. It is an essential part of my routine now.

I will definitely be buying more
This serum is really really good and it gives a bright youthful look. I use it once every 3 night and it is potent enough to do the job. A little goes a long way so it last for a while. Trust me it does what it says. I will definitely continue use and I hope the product is never discontinued. Thank
you Ordinary.

Wonderful product
I have been using this now for about 5 weeks. Within the first week I noticed my skin was remarkably smoother. I had been using Paula’s choice retinol for a couple of years and never received half the results that I have from the Ordinary retinol. I’ll be a user forever! Price point is amazing as well!

Other people have noticed the results! Buy it!
I am 33 and am extremely fair-skinned. I have splotchy, red undertones and fine line wrinkles that bother me. I finally decided it was time I actually started and stuck to a skincare routine but I didn’t want to go crazy. I started using a store-bought cream face wash with Vitamin C (nothing with salicylic acid or anything drying/harsh) a few years ago. It kept my skin clean but didn’t really do anything else. I finally decided to start using Retinol and purchased The Ordinary’s 1% and the results are incredible. I started out using it only twice per week and worked my way up to about 5x per week now (I typically don’t use it during the weekends as I’m outside in the sun). So many people at work have commented on my skin/complexion and have asked me what I’m doing differently. My redness is hardly there at all anymore and my skin is so smooth now and the fine lines look like they’ve diminished. It’s been six months and I am ecstatic with the results. And it is so cost-friendly too. My routine literally involves my Vitamin C facewash, The Ordinary Retinol, and the HA moisturizer. Three steps only and it’s worked wonders for me thus far. This will forever be part of my routine now!

Would need a smaller package
I’ve been using this product for 3-4 years and I’m satisfied. I had started to use retinol long before so I didn’t see any wow effect. Anyway, I’m happy with the product and the price and I will keep buying it. The only question: since after the bottle is opened it lasts only for 3 months isn’t it convenient to do a smaller package? It’s really sad that I have to flush the half of the bottle to the toilet every 3 months.

Can this be used under the eyes? Also for people who usually buy this, do you know how long it usually takes to be restocked?
No I wouldn’t use around the eyes. Says not to on bottle. Not sure when it’s restocked
