Description
The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is a gentle yet effective anti-aging serum designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is the active ingredient in this serum. It works by stimulating collagen production, increasing cell turnover, and promoting skin renewal.
Key Ingredient:
- Retinol (0.2%): Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and is considered one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients available. At a concentration of 0.2%, this formulation offers a gentle introduction to retinol for those who may be new to using it or have sensitive skin. Retinol helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage by stimulating collagen production and increasing cell turnover. It also helps to unclog pores, reduce acne, and improve overall skin texture and tone.
How to Use:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the skin’s surface. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Serum: Dispense a small amount of The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Be cautious and avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Let the serum absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying any additional skincare products. Retinol serums are typically lightweight and absorb quickly.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After the serum has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to help hydrate and soothe the skin. This step is crucial, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin, as retinol can be drying.
- Sun Protection: Retinol can increase sun sensitivity, so it’s essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the daytime to protect your skin from UV damage and maintain its health and appearance.
