Key Benefits
  • Accelerates skin renewal to soften the look of fine lines and uneven texture
  • Targets blemish-prone areas while supporting a clearer, more balanced complexion
  • Promotes firmer, more elastic-looking skin with a radiant, even tone
  • Lightweight emulsion absorbs quickly without greasy residue or heavy feel
Key Ingredients
  • Retinal (0.2%): High-potency vitamin A that converts efficiently to retinoic acid for rapid visible results
  • Squalane: Cushions skin and helps counter potential dryness from actives
  • Lipid Emulsifiers: Enhance delivery and reduce irritation by supporting the skin barrier
  • Glycerin: Attracts water to maintain a comfortable, well-plumped complexion
How to Use
  • PM: After cleansing and drying skin, apply a pea-sized amount to face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
  • Start 2–3 nights per week; increase to nightly as tolerated.
  • Follow with a simple moisturizer; skip other strong actives the same night.
  • AM: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily while using retinal.
  • Do not use with other retinoids; patch test before first use.

Larger supply would be good.

Delighted with this product but wish it was a larger container and there was more in it. Runs out too fast with a surprise as there is no way you can see how much is left

Does this need to be refrigerated??
Kate 2025-02-13

I’ve used this off and on (rotating with the ordinary other retinol products) since long before it was repackaged. Have to say I’m not a fan of the new packaging and the fact that you get half the product now. :( This emulsion is not super irritating if you’ve used retinol before. I still wouldn’t use it more than a few times a week (over use of the ordinary’s retinols turned my face orange in the past). I still have sensitive combo skin that can get suuuper oily in my early 40’s, and this helps the overall appearance of my skin. However - can someone from The Ordinary please tell me definit…

Marvelous Little Miracle!
Lisa64 2025-02-12

This is it; this is, for me, the pinnacle of visual result skin care. Started out using it on a weekly basis, then gradually increased it to daily. It softens and smooths and clarifies in some fashion because even my adult daughter noted a marked improvement. And I finally have a bit of the glow I've been searching for. I follow it up with NMF with Beta Glucan, which is a lovely little moisturizer and perfect with the Retinal 0.2% Emulsion. My skin is just...better.

Love!
Juju Verified Purchase 2025-01-06

This is my second bottle and I bought it as back up during the sale (was still waiting to see results at the time). I’ve been using it 3x a week for over a month now (in conjunction with other products) and my skin has become smoother, and pores have significantly tightened up. I’m looking forward to seeing further improvements over time. I’m in my early 50’s and this has been a real game changing product, not to mention absolute value for money, so I’ll definitely continue using it.

The best anti-aging product
Sarah Z. Verified Purchase 2024-08-31

Very potent retinol. My favorite anti-aging product to this day. I started seeing a huge difference using this from the first week. My skin looks dewy and fresh. It’s better user at night to avoid environmental irritation. I will be buying this again!
