Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serume | The Ordinary

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane Serum is a high-performance solution designed to target visible signs of aging, uneven skin texture, and fine lines. Featuring a moderate strength of 0.5% pure Retinol, this formula promotes cell turnover and boosts collagen production to improve skin clarity, firmness, and smoothness over time.
