  Hey Jany 💌 This is a retinol product, but it’s not a classic cream. It’s called The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and comes as a water-free serum in squalane, so it feels more like an oil/serum layer. Have a lovely day ahead🌞

Switching to The Ordinary
Hi, I have been using Geek and Gorgeous retinal 1% for about a year and have been using their 2% for a few months now. But I don't think I see any difference, so I want to try The Ordinary now. Which retinol should I choose? I have sensitive skin but have never reacted to Geek and Gorgeous. 😊

  Hey Sofia😊 Since you have been using retinal for a long time without reaction, you can absolutely try The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane cautiously. It can work as the next step, but every formula is unique and requires acclimation. If you want to be extra cautious, there is also 0.2% or Granactive Retinoid 2% which are gentler. Start with a few evenings a week and always use SPF during the day. Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a super nice day💫

Retinol serum around the eyes?
Hi! I have been a regular user of Retinol for several years and use The Ordinary 1% in Squalane 4-5 nights a week. It is the one that works best. One of the areas I definitely want to treat is around the eyes (I am 56 years old and don’t have a lot but some wrinkles and dryness under the eyes) but I read that the serum shouldn’t be used there. Is there any Retinol serum that you ARE allowed to use around the eyes?

  Hey there Annette! 👋 How wonderful to hear that you are a seasoned retinol user and have found a product that works well for you 😊 You are absolutely right that The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is not intended for use around the eyes – the skin there is significantly thinner and more sensitive, which increases the risk of irritation 🤍 However, there are retinol products that are specifically formulated for the eye area and are both milder and more suited for the thin skin, while also working against fine lines, wrinkles, and dryness. Some good alternatives are for example: 🩷lyko.com/sv/the-inkey-list/the-inkey-list-retinol-eye-cream-15-ml 🩷lyko.com/sv/pixi/pixir-retinol-eye-cream 🩷lyko.com/sv/torriden/torriden-cellmazing-firming-eye-cream-30-ml Since you are already used to strong retinol, you can usually tolerate these well, but we still recommend starting cautiously (2-3 evenings a week) and always following up with a nourishing eye cream. Don’t forget sun protection during the day ☀️ Hope you find one that suits you🤗

Super
4th time I'm buying, if you use it consistently you'll see a difference, I think this is much better than granactive for example

  Hi Eva Margareta 👋😊 Yes, it can stand in the bathroom cabinet, but preferably in a cool and dark place, not directly in sunlight or near a heat source. If your bathroom gets very warm or humid, it might be better to keep it in another room, or maybe in the fridge – but that's not an absolute must 🥰 Take care!

Usage
I have started using it cautiously once a week for almost a month now. I feel like the product isn't absorbing properly.

Does it work with other serums?
Hi. I'm new to The Ordinary's products. I just started with this Retinol 0.5% in squalane. I also bought The Ordinary's Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Can I combine any of these or should I use retinol without any of the other serums? Best regards

  Hi Anna 😊 In the evening once a week you can use Retinol 0.5%. On the evenings you don't use retinol, you can use the Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide serum. In the morning you can use Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. Wishing you a nice day! 🌺

Retinol from The Ordinary: What you should know
I love this product and think it has worked wonders for my skin. One tip is to be careful and not use it when your skin is sensitive or irritated, as it can worsen the problem.

Description

Ingredients

This water-free solution contains 0.5% Retinol, a well-studied ingredient that aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and textural irregularities. While Retinol has been studied extensively, it can be irritating to the skin for first-time users and requires a build up of skin tolerance. For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% for first-time users. This formula also offers hydrating benefits due to the presence of Squalane.
The Ordinary’s portfolio of retinoids includes the following formulations: Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Moderate Strength, No Irritation) Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No to Low Irritation) Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (Low Strength, Moderate Irritation) Retinol 0.5% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, High Irritation) Retinol 1% in Squalane (High Strength, Very High Irritation) Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
