The fragrance-free liquid formula absorbs easily into the skin and works well as part of an evening skincare routine. Whether you are looking to smooth rough texture, soften the appearance of wrinkles, or maintain a youthful-looking complexion, The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane offers a simple yet effective solution.
