Retinol 0.5% In Squalane Face Serum 30 ml

An anhydrous serum containing 0.5% Retinol, which reduces lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture.

Retinol is a widely researched ingredient, however, it can irritate the skin and require getting used to and gradually starting to use it. Therefore, we mainly recommend Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% if you are trying Retinol for the first time.

The formulations have moisturizing properties, as it also contains squalane. Vegan.

The Ordinary series includes the following products that contain retinol:

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Medium strength, does not irritate the skin)
Granactive Retinoid 5% in squalane (Very strong, may cause mild irritation)
Retinol 0.2% in squalane (Low strength, may cause irritation)
Retinol 0.5% in squalane (Medium strength, irritating)
Retinol 1% in squalane (Very strong, very irritating).

Note: During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you avoid using skin care products that contain e.g. Granactive Retinoids or Retinol. Warning! Retinoids can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. Use sunscreen and limit sun exposure when using skin care products that contain retinoids. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. The product does not treat acne. Acne can increase in acne-prone skin during the first few weeks of using retinoid products. This applies to all retinoid treatments, including this product.

Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, as part of your skin care routine, after water-based serums but before night cream. Do not use other retinoids at the same time.

Use sunscreen and protective clothing and limit exposure to the sun. Store in a cool and dry place.
