FAQs

How often should I use The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane?

Start by using it once or twice a week, and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it. Monitor your skin for any signs of irritation.

Can I use this serum during the day?

No. Retinol increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun. It's recommended for nighttime use only.

What should I do if I experience irritation?

Reduce the frequency of use. You can also try mixing the serum with a moisturizer to dilute it. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

Is it safe to use if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, but introduce it slowly. Start with a low frequency and monitor your skin's reaction. Always do a patch test before applying to your entire face.

Can I use The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane with other products?

Avoid using it with other retinoid treatments or products that contain high concentrations of exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. Using it with hydrating products like hyaluronic acid is usually fine.

How long does it take to see results?

Results vary depending on your skin and the severity of your concerns. It may take several weeks or months of consistent use to see noticeable improvements.

How should I store this product?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is vegan and cruelty-free.

Troubleshooting

Skin irritation (redness, peeling, dryness).
