Retinol 1% in Squalane

A high-strength retinol serum that targets general signs of skin aging. Retinol 1% in Squalane contains 1% pure retinol, which is a derivative of vitamin A, and squalane, a natural moisturizing agent derived from plants. The Ordinary Retinol Price in Pakistan is known for its anti-aging benefits. It helps reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Squalane, on the other hand, helps to hydrate and nourish the skin. It also makes skin look more radiant and youthful.

Retinol 1% in Squalane is a water-free solution that contains 1% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearances of fine lines, of photo damage and of general skin ageing. While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation. For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.

Note: Water can affect the stability of retinol. Additionally, plant oils in retinol formulations can trigger lipid peroxidation and can impair retinol integrity. This formula does not contain water, silicones, plant oils or alcohol.

Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.
