Wrinkles and fine lines, a dull complexion, and enlarged pores are not part of the modern woman's agenda. She always looks youthful, with her beauty radiating flawlessly regardless of age. Such an amazing result is ensured by using the cosmetic products of the Canadian brand The Ordinary.
For those looking to eliminate pigmentation and age spots, smooth out wrinkles, restore a healthy complexion, and even out skin tone, incorporating The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane serum into your daily skincare routine is advisable. This is an anhydrous solution that contains 0.2% pure retinol. The product effectively improves skin tone, enhances its firmness and elasticity, stimulates regeneration processes, lightens pigmentation regardless of its cause, and minimizes pores. However, before starting to use the product at home, it is necessary to perform a sensitivity test to retinol, as it may cause irritation and redness. In such cases, it's better to use a product with a lower concentration of this substance.

The serum is fantastic. I didn't buy it here. Whoever claims that it causes breakouts simply doesn't understand what retinoid dermatitis is. This serum actually helps to alleviate any underlying skin issues.
On insensitive skin, there was zero effect, a higher percentage of retinol is needed. The oil itself initially did not absorb into the skin, but later started to absorb. I did not notice any changes on my facial skin.
I didn't buy it here. I have been using it for 2 weeks and it causes terrible breakouts with painful pimples.
I am very satisfied. There is indeed an effect in fighting breakouts. It does not dry out the skin if used with moisturizing products. For example, use retinol in the evening and a moisturizing cream or serum in the morning.
Yes, after starting to use it, breakouts do occur, but it is normal. After applying retinol to problem skin, it may become slightly red and all the underlying pimples come out. Then, the condition of the skin noticeably improves.
If you only have a foaming cleanser, moisturizing cream, and this retinol, you will see results. Personally, I noticed an improvement in my skin when using only this product, but adding other products made no difference. Therefore, a downside is that adding additional products doesn't change anything.
I didn't buy it here. Well, what can I say, the oily base is terrible. It's very inconvenient to use, takes a long time to absorb, and if you don't apply cream on top, it doesn't absorb completely. At first, as promised, it dried out my cheeks and around my mouth. Then my skin got used to it. I should note that this is not my first retinol product, so I don't see any results, it irritates more than it provides positive effects. I won't buy it again. It's worth adding that the consumption is small and the shelf life after opening is short. So, in 3 months of daily use, you probably won't even use half of it. Well, it's a matter of personal preference, in a nutshell.
In my opinion, this product is absolutely useless. After applying it, I always experience breakouts, which last for about two weeks.
Very economical consumption is the only positive aspect of this product. I understand that it should have a oily consistency due to the retinol, but when applied, it is not absorbed by the skin at all, even after waiting a certain amount of time... no moisturization or anything, and it's impossible to apply any cream on top of it! It just makes me want to wash my face immediately after application... that's why I use it on my body, so it's not as wasteful. Maybe it's just not the right "form" of product for me, because I've used retinol in cream before and everything was great.
To be honest, I didn't understand the point of this product. It just made my face oily without providing any hydration. After using it for a month, there was no change either for the better or worse.
Dry, pigmented skin. 35+. This product is absolutely perfect. No irritations, no breakouts. My face looks fresher and fresher every day. I use it at night, wash it off in the morning, apply toner, SPF, and nourishing cream.
This serum has completely clogged my pores, it's just terrible((((
This is the best product for problem skin! The results are visible immediately, leaving the skin clear and refreshed. I apply the serum at night, but alternate it with other products. With retinol, you need to be careful and avoid sun exposure and strong sun protection, otherwise, pigmentation is guaranteed, and there is also a factor of getting used to retinoids. But if you know how to use it properly, it will provide you with perfect porcelain skin.
I will be trying this product for the first time. I came across an article once that mentioned a lot of counterfeits of this brand, so I found a post describing what the original looks like. Today, the package arrived and I immediately started examining if it matches the original. The package matches the original in all external parameters and description. I will try it this evening. I will write about the results after finishing the bottle. A big thank you to MAKEUP for the impeccable service!
I bought it here. I am 42 years old, with combination skin prone to breakouts and large pores. I have been using it almost every other day for about a month (at night), after cleansing and before applying my night cream. It absorbs in about 10 minutes. My skin looks fresh and feels velvety, the pores have tightened, and my fine lines are less noticeable. The breakouts have cleared up. I am very satisfied. I have never had such delicate and clear skin since childhood.
I didn't buy it here, but I still want to leave a review. I have combination skin, with a very oily T-zone, occasional breakouts, and enlarged pores. It is not sensitive. I started using it every other day because I wasn't sure how my skin would react, but I realized it was reacting well (without irritation or flaking), so I decided to switch to daily use. I apply it in the evening after cleansing my face and using toner. At first, it took a long time to absorb, but as I continued using it, my skin became less and less oily, and it started absorbing faster. I am very satisfied with the results. My skin has stopped getting oily, small breakouts disappear in the morning, and larger ones heal much faster. There are almost no traces left, and my pores have become slightly smaller. My skin feels moisturized.
Not bad. The percentage of retinol is minimal, so my oily skin didn't suffer. I use it several times a week together with vitamin C (at different times of the day), and my skin looks soft and nourished. There are no peeling issues.
The serum is excellent. It should never be used by those planning pregnancy, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers under any circumstances.
This is a great product, just like the entire brand's line. It has a small number of components, but they all work well. In all descriptions of products with retinol, it is mentioned that it may cause breakouts and peeling because it enhances skin renewal. I have mature, sensitive skin with post-acne and enlarged pores. I haven't had any breakouts or peeling, and my skin has become more well-groomed. The color of my face has improved, and my pores have slightly tightened. I have been using it since April and have already bought a second jar. However, I use it as part of a comprehensive routine: in the morning, I use a hyaluronic acid with vitamin B5 after toner, followed by a Japanese day cream with SPF, and in the evening, I do a thorough cleansing and use a serum with retinol. It really works, and I highly recommend it. But you need a comprehensive approach, as all products from this brand work well. So, consult with a cosmetologist and go for it!
