## Overview

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is a water-free, intermediate-strength retinol serum designed to visibly reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.

Perfect for those who have built tolerance to lower retinol strengths, this cruelty-free, fragrance-free formula requires refrigeration after opening and is best used as part of a nighttime skincare regimen with daytime sun protection.

## Description

desertcart.com: The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane, Intermediate Retinol Serum for the Face That Is Anti-Aging and Skin Smoothing, 1 Fl Oz : Everything Else

Review: Exceptionally - This is a miracle product that does exactly what it says with premium ingredients at an amazing price! I use daily and has visibly faded spots on face and back of hands. Gentle. I put on, let dry, then put moisturizer!
Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Effective, Gentle Retinol for Smoother, Clearer Skin - The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is an excellent intermediate-level retinol—it strikes the perfect balance between effectiveness and skin tolerability. I’ve been using it consistently 2–3 times per week at night, and I’ve seen noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and fine lines within just a few weeks. The squalane base makes this formula incredibly moisturizing, which helps minimize the dryness or irritation that can come with retinol use. I have sensitive, combination skin, and this has worked really well for me with no major flaking or redness. The product is easy to apply, spreads smoothly, and absorbs well without a greasy finish. I also appreciate the dark glass bottle with a dropper, which keeps the formula stable and makes dosing simple. This is not an overnight miracle, and I always recommend starting slow with retinol, but if you’re looking for a gentle, effective anti-aging serum that fits well into any nighttime skincare routine, this is a fantastic option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really works, cruelty free, inexpensive
*by A***3 on January 22, 2026*

Finally a product that really works, is cruelty free, and not expensive! I saw improvements within a week! The skin on my forehead is smoother and my whole face looks more radiant and moisturized. Wrinkles have diminished slightly. I’m glad I started out with less amount of retinol and will work my way up if needed. Time and the right products (yes, be patient and give the products time to work) and you should see results!
