The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane – Low-Strength Age-Support (30ml)

If you are new to the world of Vitamin A, The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% in Squalane is your ideal starting point. Retinol is a gold-standard ingredient in skincare, known for its ability to speed up cell turnover and boost collagen production. By using a low 0.2% concentration, this formula allows your skin to build tolerance to retinoids with a significantly lower risk of redness or peeling.

What sets this formula apart is the Squalane base. Unlike water-based serums, Squalane is a saturated and stable hydrocarbon that mimics the skin’s natural oils. This provides a lightweight, oil-like texture that deeply hydrates and buffers the retinol, ensuring your skin remains supple and glowing throughout the renewal process.

Key Benefits:

Gentle Resurfacing: Refines skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Anti-Aging Starter: A low-irritation formula perfect for those introducing retinol to their routine for the first time.
Hydrating Squalane Base: Prevents the dryness and dehydration often associated with retinol use, leaving a silky, dewy finish.
Tone Correction: Helps fade dark spots and sun damage for a more uniform and radiant complexion.
Pore Refinement: Clears and minimizes the appearance of pores by preventing the buildup of dead skin cells.
Clean Beauty: Formulated without water, alcohol, silicone, or gluten. Vegan and Cruelty-Free.

Pro-Tips for Ojuoja Customers:

Store in the Fridge: Retinol is sensitive to light and heat; keep it refrigerated after opening to maintain its potency.
Sun Protection: Retinoids make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Always apply a high-SPF sunscreen the following morning.
The “Sandwich” Method: If you have very sensitive skin, apply your moisturizer first, then the Retinol, followed by another layer of moisturizer.
