Product Description

A water-free vegan solution with 1% pure retinol to combat signs of ageing like wrinkles and photoageing.

Retinol's irritating properties have been extensively studied and proven, and there are new technologies that mimic its effects without causing irritation.

The Ordinary generally recommends using Granactive Retinoid instead.

Directions

Apply a dab to your face in the evening after water-based serums but before thicker creams.

Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day. Avoid unprotected sun exposure.

If irritation develops, stop using and contact a doctor. Only use as indicated on intact skin. We recommend doing a skin test before use.

For a detailed guide to the skin test process, see DECIEM's website.

Keep away from children.

Ingredients

Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Retinol, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, BHT.

This ingredients list is subject to change: please check the product packaging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good and affordable product. It does the job well. I use this as part of my night time skin routine. I have an oily skin and it works well for my skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Used on body not face I used this on my body as opposed to face. It helped even out some texture. Not keen on the squalene, it's a bit heavy for me

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for intermediate users of retinol I bought this after using the 0.5% retinol in squalene also from The Ordinary. I've since purchased 3 bottles. It's great for someone who uses a lower strength retinol and is looking for something stronger. I have oily skin and using this in my night routine helps keep my skin clear and less textured.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not for me Not great, my skin is sensitive so it was my mistake buying this. Won’t get it again

Rated 3 out of 5 by from OK I like the addition of squalane to help assist with the harsh effects of a retinol, but unfortunately this one made me purge very badly and for far too long, so I discontinued use.

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?

Asked by: serish
 No I wouldn’t use around the eyes. Says not to on bottle. Not sure when it’s restocked
