THE ORDINARY Retinol 1% in Squalane

It is of good Value quality and shelf life. Also proper packaging, efficacity and texture. Very likely to buy this product again. Price worthy too. Thank you very much.

I have recently tried to incorporate retinols in my skin care. Retinol is also known as Vitamin A and is really useful in preventing fine lines, wrinkles and contains anti-ageing properties. Today, I will be reviewing the Ordinary’s Retinol 1% in Squalane. So, let’s see how this product fared for me. The Ordinary has a lot of versions of retinol in their skincare range. The Ordinary’s skincare has varies retinoid in their range: The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane comes packaged in a black glass dropper bottle with a white cap and a white cardboard outer box containing all the details about the product. The black glass bottle helps the product from losing its potency due to photosensitivity. The packaging is similar and typical of all Ordinary products. The dropper is really good and dispenses the serum easily. Overall, the packaging is simple, basic and lightweight. The serum is not travel friendly since the bottle is made out of glass. Now, let’s talk about Squalane. The squalane oil is produced using a hydrogenation processing. The hydrogenation process stabilizes squalane. Primarily, Squalane was obtained from shark’s liver. However, The Ordinary brand uses 100% plant-derived Squalane. Squalane oil is suitable for all skin types, from dry to sensitive to oily and acne-prone. It is also super hydrating and a powerful antioxidant.
