**Product Review: The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30mL**I recently tried The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, and I’m pleased to share my experience! From the first application, I noticed a lightweight texture that absorbed quickly into my skin without feeling greasy. After using it consistently for a few weeks, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and a reduction in fine lines. I appreciate that it comes in squalane, which helps to hydrate while the retinol works its magic. However, as with any retinol, I recommend starting slowly to allow your skin to adjust. Overall, this product is a fantastic addition to my skincare routine, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance. Thank you, The Ordinary, for delivering such a reliable product!

After the very first use, I felt the difference—my oily, acne-prone skin became softer, smoother, and deeply hydrated. Even minor peeling didn’t bother me since pairing it with a solid moisturizer and sunscreen kept things under control. This retinol is now my trusted companion in the battle against sunspots, breakouts, and fine lines.

I was excited to try this retinol, but sadly, it didn’t suit my oily skin. The texture was greasy and just sat on my face. I really gave it a shot, but in the end, it wasn’t for me.

I was surprised by how well this oily-textured serum absorbed into my dry skin. At 1% strength, it offers powerful anti-aging benefits without being too harsh. My face feels more youthful and radiant with each use.

This serum has been incredibly kind to my skin. I’ve been using it daily without irritation. It smooths out texture and helps with aging concerns—easy to apply and completely fuss-free. A great addition to my evening routine.
Aviva R. (verified owner) –
This serum made a real difference in my routine. The retinol brightens and smooths, while the squalane keeps my skin from drying out. Blemishes are fading, fine lines are softening, and my face looks more radiant overall. I was gifted this product, but I’d gladly repurchase.

I’ve tried various retinols, but this one stands out. Thanks to the squalane, my skin gets the benefits without harsh dryness. It’s gentle yet effective, and I’ve seen improvement in tone and texture. The only downside is the short shelf life after opening.

I returned to this serum after a skin crisis, and wow—it’s helped so much. My makeup applies beautifully again, and although my skin is still recovering from overusing harsh products, the healing is noticeable. Purging happened, but the results are absolutely worth the wait.

I wanted to love this, but it triggered bumps and congestion instead. Even after easing it in gradually, my skin kept getting worse, and I finally realized it wasn’t purging—it was fungal acne. Oily or acne-prone skin types should be cautious.

At nearly 66, I’ve never felt more confident in my skin. Using this retinol alongside a few other staples has taken years off my appearance. People genuinely think I’m 20 years younger. Even my daughter is now a fan. This routine, along with some lifestyle changes, gave me back my glow.
