The Ordinary Retinol 0.2% In Squalane helps lessen the appearance of fine lines, photodamage, and overall skin aging, is a component in this water-free solution with 0.2% pure concentration. Despite being the subject of much research, retinal irritates the skin. Fortunately, there are now more advanced technologies that can replicate the visual effects of retinal without causing skin irritation.
Why It’s Perfect for Pakistan:
- Subtle Yet Effective:Â The 0.2% Retinol concentration provides a gradual approach, making it ideal for Pakistani skin types that tend to be more sensitive due to sun exposure.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Uneven Tone: Pakistan’s sunny days can lead to the formation of fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
- Lightweight and Non-Greasy: Squalane, a key ingredient, mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making the formula lightweight and comfortable to wear – perfect for Pakistan’s warm weather.
How to Use it Like a Pro:
- Nighttime Only:Â Apply a few drops to your cleansed and toned face in the evening, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Start Slow:Â Introduce Retinol gradually. Begin with 1-2 times a week and increase frequency as your skin tolerates it.
- Moisturize Well:Â Retinol can cause temporary dryness. Combat this by using a hydrating moisturizer suitable for Pakistani weather.
- Sun Protection is Key:Â While the concentration is lower, Retinol can still increase sun sensitivity. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
Should I start with 0.2 or 0.5 retinol?
