The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The squalane base helps counteract the dryness that retinol typically causes, so your skin won't feel as stripped.
- This is a serious product that requires sun protection during the day and shouldn't be mixed with other retinoid products, so it demands a committed routine.
- You need to refrigerate it after opening and use it within three months, which is a practical consideration for storage.
As of Sep 1, the The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is a good price at $11.90 — versus a $10.08 typical price and a $6.78 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
