What’s more, this expert-level formulation is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that nourishes to help it better withstand the drying effects of retinol.
The Ordinary Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.

Why Buy Original The Ordinary Retinol in Sri Lanka?
High-strength retinol products like this one are especially risky to buy from unverified sellers, since a fake or incorrectly formulated retinol can cause severe irritation, breakouts, or no results at all. The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane is one of the brand’s most potent anti-aging serums, combining a high concentration of pure retinol with squalane to help offset dryness and irritation. An authentic bottle guarantees the correct, stable concentration the product is known for, ensuring both safety and real anti-aging results. When comparing The Ordinary Price LK for this retinol serum, be extremely cautious of unusually cheap listings, as counterfeit versions of high-strength actives can pose genuine risks to skin health.
