When you apply it, does it feel a little warm? How do you know if it's working, or if it's not?

Yes, your skin will appear to have undergone a microdermabrasion treatment (slightly)! It's lighter, brighter, and has a more even tone to it. Use it in the evening, about an hour or two before bedtime. This works well with Celex C (Skin Ceuticals). morning) Exceptional results! It's all I need, and I only use it twice a week at most.

Is this meant to be used on bare skin?

Yes. Skin that has been stripped bare and is completely free of impurities.

What role does it play in the treatment of wrinkles? Isn't it 70?

Because it is a chemical exfoliant, it causes cells on the surface of the skin to shed, revealing newer, healthier skin beneath. It has a mild peeling effect and works wonders on wrinkles.

Selected User Reviews For The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane 30ml

Begin with a lower percentage and remember to apply sunscreen afterward! Do your research before using, and don't start with such a high percentage; instead, start with a lower percentage and work your way up
5/5

And once a week or less is a good place to start with this one, gradually increasing to every other day. On my off days, I use an acid instead of doing this every other day. I can't emphasize how important it is to use a good sunscreen with this because it makes your skin extremely sensitive to the sun. You might end up with more damage than you started with if you don't have a good spf. If you don't use sunscreen, retinol is not for you. br>br>I have oily, blemish-prone skin that is prone to cystic acne. Because I'm 30 and wear sunscreen every day and avoid the sun, I don't have many wrinkles. This retinol has made a significant difference in the appearance of my skin. The texture is much smoother, acne has become much less frequent, and my acne scars have significantly faded. I'm now confident enough to go without foundation, which I never imagined was possible. br>br>Other The Ordinary products that I would recommend are:
The Ordinary Buffet
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1%
The Ordinary Squalane
The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Sol.

Love! I'm almost finished with the first bottle
5/5

It's a little oily, and it doesn't burn, but it does tingle a little, but the texture and softness of my face are so different that I'd consider breaking into The Ordinary factory and doing a backstroke in an industrial-sized vat of this magical potion.

Excellent item - However, I am not one of those people
3/5

The Ordinary is one of my favorite shows. Their items are of excellent quality and value. This is a simple and light-weight option. The scent of retinol is distinct, but it's not overpowering. I passed on this one because I've discovered I don't care for Squalane. I noticed a difference after using this product, so I believe the Retinol is fine; my issue was with the Squalane's oiliness. I have extremely dry skin, and the oil simply sat on top of it. Even the next morning, my skin felt greasy because it never fully absorbed the product. I've heard other people complain about Squalane oil, so I'm pretty sure that's what my problem was.

The end result is a little greasy, but I love it
5/5

My dark marks and texture appear to be improving, which is a good sign. It takes some time for the serum to absorb into the skin. For a short time after application, it has a greasy feel. However, using a jade roller to aid in the absorption of the product is extremely beneficial! When you're first starting out, be cautious about how frequently you use. Start with once a week for a few weeks and gradually increase the frequency of use. When I first started, I used it two nights in a row and got a response!.

Take the reviews seriously
5/5

It's worth a shot at this price. Based on other reviews, I decided to purchase it. My findings are in line with theirs. It's a dream come true for my skin. I wasn't bothered by the harshness because I was already using a retinol-based gel every now and then. I like how moisturizing it is. I use it at night, and some nights I don't even feel the need for a moisturizer.

Excellent Product
5/5

I purchased this product on the advice of a dermatologist, and it has left my skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft. On top of cleansing, I exfoliate every other day, but this was the icing on the cake for my skincare routine. I don't have acne or any other skin problems, but I do have naturally oily skin, which this didn't aggravate because I only use it at night and it's completely absorbed by morning.

This is a good slippage
3/5

It's still too early to say whether or not the benefits will be realized. It feels great on the skin, has good slippage, and I noticed skin sloughing off in the morning after the first 'wearing'. It's a good idea to use a cloth to help remove dead skin.

I am extremely happy
5/5

This product is fantastic, and I use it every night now. It's a little thick, but it works well for me because I have dry skin. I've been using The Ordinary product line for a while and have been very pleased with the quality and price; I recommend starting with 1-. 2 nights per week, with the possibility of increasing as needed. Excellent value for money, as well as excellent outcomes!.
