Age-Support • Smoother Texture • Night Treatment
The Ordinary Retinol in Squalane is a water-free, lightweight serum designed to help improve visible signs of ageing and uneven texture. Retinol encourages smoother, clearer, more refined-looking skin, while squalane provides comforting hydration to minimise dryness and irritation. This formula is ideal for nighttime routines and suitable for anyone looking to gradually introduce retinol into their skincare.
