The Ordinary retinal 0.2% emulsion serum can be used every night and has a powerful retinoid mix with stabilised retinaldehyde to help with advanced ageing.

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily Skin Types
Problems with Skin Care: Dryness, Wrinkles, and Loss of Texture and Flexibility.
Analogues of Synthetic Oats: Relieves Dryness and Discomfort on the Skin.

This must-have—its colour coming from the high concentration of retinol, which is inherently yellow—counteracts the typical adverse effects of retinoids by utilising avenanthramide, a crucial component found in oats, to alleviate skin pain and dryness.

Highlighted Ingredients

The Ordinary retinal 0.2% emulsion serum is free of parabens, formaldehydes, phthalates, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, sulfates, SLS and SLES, triclocarban, and triclosan.

Important Information

The retinoid formula of retinal 0.2% emulsion serum is extremely potent. It quickly firms and soothes the skin’s look while greatly reducing the visibility of dark spots. Skin that looks brighter and even-toned visibly refines texture while addressing uneven tone and increasing luminosity. This retinoid 0.2% emulsion serum-textured product is great for those who have used retinoids before and have any skin.

How to Use Retinal 0.2% Emulsion Serum

Use a small amount after cleansing your face and neck in the evening. Make sure to pat dry.
Be careful not to touch your eyes or anything around them.
Apply once a week at first, then go up to twice a week, spaced a few days apart, or as your skin tolerates.
Follow up with a moisturizer.
Use one retinoid product at a time. During the day, make sure to wear sunscreen.

Avoid using the retinal 0.2% emulsion serum and seek medical attention if it irritates your skin. Follow the instructions only on intact skin. Always do a patch test before using anything new. Check out our website to find out whether products are compatible and how to do a patch test. Make sure children cannot get to it.

I enjoyed using this retinal—2% emulsion cream. After application, I noticed an improved appearance, less skin roughness, and fine lines. Less uneven skin tone. More bright look about my skin. It did help reduce/lessen the appearance of the stubborn “dark spots” on my face; these were less visible/noticeable after use.

I have acne-prone sensitive skin and used this for several weeks, and it didn’t break me out. It’s super easy to apply, with a very faint citrus scent that goes away fast. The texture is creamy, initially a yellow color that fades and dries clear/no color. It’s not drying and is super easy to use. I need more time to try it to see the long-term effects, but so far, it’s so good, and it doesn’t break me out. This is a good option for those trying out retinol for the first time.

Great product Retinal 0.2% ordinary. I asap got it. I started to use it, and It took a couple of weeks until I saw the results. My skin looks better than ever. If you have never used any retinol cream, be aware there are some side effects like skin redness and peeling, which is not bad at all, and it will last maybe 4 weeks. Always follow the directions.
