How to Use
Step 1. Cleanse your face and gently pat your skin dry before applying The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml. Use this serum in your evening skincare routine after cleansing and before moisturiser.
Step 2. If you are using The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml for the first time, perform a patch test before applying it to your face. Apply a small amount to a discreet area and check for any signs of irritation before regular use.
Step 3. Apply a few drops of the retinol serum to your face using clean fingertips. Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
Step 4. Gently spread the serum evenly over your skin. Allow the product to absorb before applying your next skincare step.
Step 5. Follow with a moisturiser to complete your evening skincare routine. Apply moisturiser after The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml.
Step 6. Use the serum in the evening only. Start with less frequent application and gradually increase use as your skin builds tolerance.
Step 7. The following morning, cleanse your skin and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine. Retinol products can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Step 8. Avoid using other retinoid products at the same time. Store The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane Serum 30ml in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle tightly closed after use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek advice from a healthcare professional if needed.

Irritates my skin as I do have sensitive skin. Very low price point so worth a try anyway if your skin can tolerate it.
Okay for my sensitive skin
