Description

This water-free serum from The Ordinary combines a potent 1% retinol concentration with nourishing squalane to visibly reduce signs of ageing. Fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation are gently addressed, leaving skin smoother and more even-toned.

The lightweight formula delivers firming and plumping effects, thanks to vitamin A derivative retinol, while squalane—a powerful antioxidant—defends against UV damage and helps prevent sun-induced age spots. The result is a more refined, luminous complexion.

Vegan and suitable for evening use. Apply after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Use only in your PM routine; avoid combining with other retinoids. Always wear sun protection, as retinoids can increase UV sensitivity. Store in a cool, dry place.
