The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum

Targets: Signs of Aging, Textural Irregularities, Uneven Skin Tone

Suited to Dry Skin

Format: Anhydrous Serum

Description

This formulation contains 5% granactive retinoid (hydroxypinacolone retinoate), a more concentrated version of the gentle retinoid, designed to promote skin renewal and improve overall appearance without the irritation associated with traditional retinol. Squalane is included to provide hydration and a smooth application.

Key Benefits

1. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Effectively diminishes the appearance of fine lines and supports overall skin firmness.
2. Enhances Skin Texture: Promotes cell turnover for a smoother and more refined complexion.
3. Gentle Formula: Offers retinoid benefits with reduced risk of irritation, suitable for various skin types.
4. Hydrating: The squalane base helps to maintain moisture, preventing dryness often associated with retinoids.
5. Improves Radiance: Regular use can result in a brighter, more even skin tone.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Begin with a gentle cleanser to prepare your skin.
2. Apply: Use a few drops of the serum and gently massage it into your face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Moisturize: Although the serum is hydrating, you can follow up with a moisturizer for additional hydration if needed.
4. Frequency: Use in the evening, starting with 1-2 times a week and gradually increasing as your skin builds tolerance.

Note

• Always perform a patch test when introducing new products, especially for sensitive skin.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use
