The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a highly stable, water-free solution of pure 0.5% retinol. The water-free solutions offer a choice of 0.2%, 0.5%, or 1% pure retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, photodamage, and general skin aging. While retinol has been widely studied, it can cause skin irritation and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of retinol without causing skin irritation. For this reason, The Ordinary generally recommends using Granactive Retinoid formulas instead.
