The Ordinary 1% in Squalane – Reviews & Unboxing

What is The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane & what does it do?
Deciem says: Highly-Stable, Water-Free Solution of 1% Pure Retinol
This water-free solution contains 1% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, photodamage 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.
Which Retinol is best to start with if I´m a beginner?
If you’re new to Retinol, start with 0.2% or 0.5%. See the guide to retinol & retinoids here.
Targets:
