THE ORDINARY Retinol 1% in Squalane

The 1% retinol in the product is very effective to reduce fine lines formed due to aging. After a few month of using the product, my uneven skin tone improved. The texture of the solution is lightweight and not sticky on face.

Love-hate retinol for me

Trying this since retinol is a gentler alternative for retinoid. The first time I apply it into my skin, I immediately don’t like the texture. It is heavy and oily. It takes too much time to get into the skin. I normally use it in the nighttime. The next morning, my skin becomes extremely oily. However, I could see quite an improvement in my skin. My pore becomes less visible and my skin looking tight. If only the texture could be improve, I would repurchase.

I was very careful with retinol, using it only twice a week. The texture is very oily, does not absorb, leaving my face uncomfortable after application. This product breaks my skin out, I can see small comedones on my cheeks. I stopped using and it took me months to clear off the comedones.

The Best Introduction to Better Skin

I bought mine off a K-Beauty website. First try, I'm in love with how efficient it is. I could barely see myself breaking out and my skin feels a lot better and cleaner. It helps with improving skin texture, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and overall skin appearance. The only downside is, retinol is naturally a drying ingredient so you might need to top it off with a moisturizer or facial oil to avoid irritation.
