Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps skin renew itself faster, which softens the look of fine lines, rough texture and clogged pores.

INCI: Squalane
Squalane is a light, stable oil that mimics one of skin’s own lipids, so it softens and seals in moisture without feeling greasy.
Squalane: who it suits, when to use itThe brand does not publish this strength, so we show none.
Where a brand publishes nothing, the row says so. We do not estimate. Bars use a log scale, 0.01% to 100%. Source: theordinary.com.
