Features          Water-free         Alcohol-free         Silicon-free         Nut-free         Gluten-free         Cruelty-free         Vegan The Ordinary Retinol 0.5 in Squalane is a water-free, extremely stable solution of 0.5% pure retinol, which can help with fine wrinkles, UV damage, and general skin ageing. This medium-strength solution should be taken once a day in the evening. Retinol has been shown in clinical studies to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, enhance uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and diminish the appearance of enlarged pores when applied to the skin. Unfortunately, retinol creams are known for causing skin irritation and dryness. These adverse effects are mainly attributable to the way retinol works: increased cellular turnover displays a new, smooth layer of skin, while transepidermal water loss can cause irritation and dryness. The Ordinary Retinol 0.5 in Squalane is sold on ThebeautyGarage, an online store that sells beauty products in Pakistan.
