Why Ordinary Retinol Matters
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that supports cell turnover and smoother skin. Ordinary offers several retinol options at different strengths, making it easier to match products to your experience level and sensitivity.
Which Ordinary Retinol Product Is Best for You
For beginners, the Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane provides a low, accessible strength. The Retinol 0.5% in Squalane is often chosen for intermediate users who tolerate the lower concentration well. The Retinol 1% in Squalane is designed for experienced users seeking a stronger formulation.
How to Choose and Use Retinol Safely
Start with a low percentage and apply it in the evening, following moisturizer if needed. Patch test new products and avoid mixing retinol with strong exfoliants. Consistency and gradual adjustment matter more than choosing the highest strength immediately.
