SQUALANE<\/a> (Squalane, Hydrogenated Oil), CAPRYLIC\/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE<\/a>, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil<\/a> (Jojoba vegetable oil), RETINOL<\/a> (Retinol), Tomato Fruit Extract<\/a> (Tomato), ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS LEAF EXTRACT<\/a> (Rosemary), Hydroxymethyoxyphenyl decanone<\/a>, BHT<\/a><\/p>\n

My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target<\/h2>\n

The Ordinary's Retinol 1% in Squalane serum is primarily intended for people who want to target the signs of skin aging, including wrinkles, loss of firmness, and uneven skin tone. This product is part of a strategy to prevent and correct the signs of aging thanks to its high concentration of retinol, an active ingredient known for its effectiveness. The minimalist, tolerance-focused formula allows for optimal retinol penetration while limiting the risk of irritation thanks to the presence of soothing plant oils.<\/p>\n

Formula Analysis: Key Assets<\/h2>\n

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula. The retinol<\/strong> (1%) is a derivative of vitamin A, known to stimulate cell renewal, increase collagen production, and reduce wrinkles and pigmentation spots. The squalane<\/strong>, derived from olives, is a biomimetic emollient that restores the skin barrier and improves retinol tolerance by limiting dehydration. Finally,\u2019jojoba oil<\/strong> provides essential fatty acids and soothing properties, enhancing skin suppleness. This synergy of active ingredients gives the product anti-aging effectiveness while preserving skin comfort.<\/p>\n

Tips and Application Ritual<\/h2>\n

I recommend applying this serum in the evening to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. It is essential to introduce the product gradually (once or twice a week at first) to limit the risk of irritation. This serum is incompatible with other potentially irritating active ingredients such as exfoliating acids (AHA\/BHA) or pure vitamin C. During the day, it is essential to apply sunscreen.<\/p>\n

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion<\/h2>\n

This serum stands out for its proven effectiveness on the signs of aging and its refined formula, which is well tolerated by most skin types. Its main advantage lies in the synergy between retinol and plant oils, which limits dryness. The only downside is that the oily texture may not be suitable for oily skin. In conclusion, this is an excellent choice for an anti-aging routine, provided that the usual precautions are followed.<\/p>\n
