The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalene Serum 30ml

THE ORDINARY Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 30ml (CANADA)

THE ORDINARY Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 30ml  is water-free and includes 0.5% pure retinol, which can help lessen the appearance of wrinkles, photodamage, and aging..

• For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.

How to Use:

1. Apply a small amount to the face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments.
2. Do not use with other retinoid treatments.
3. Avoid unprotected solar exposure.

Caution:

Retinol can cause significant irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. If you have not used high-strength retinol formulas in the past, we strongly recommend that you start your retinol regimen with our Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and adjust to higher strengths of Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane as your skin builds tolerance. You will achieve the same end results without the unpleasant redness and peeling along the way.

Note:

• Water can affect the stability of retinol. Additionally, plant oils in retinol formulations can trigger lipid peroxidation and can impair retinol integrity.
• This formula does not contain water, silicones, plant oils or alcohol.
