I recently tried The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane, and I have to say, it’s a game changer! The texture is surprisingly lightweight, and it absorbs quickly into my skin without any greasy residue. After just a few weeks of use, I noticed a visible difference in my skin’s texture and tone. Fine lines appeared smoother, and my complexion looked more radiant. Plus, the addition of squalane keeps my skin nicely hydrated, which is a bonus for retinol products. If you’re looking for an effective retinol that won’t dry you out, I highly recommend giving this one a try!
