Fight signs of ageing with The Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, a solution that combines two forms of next-generation Retinoid to help improve the appearance of ageing and acne-prone skin.
The two Retinoids used are a Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (which has a multi-fold anti-ageing effect, more efficient than Retinol), and pure Retinol in a protective capsule system which supports the delivery and efficacy of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. The solution works to visibly fight signs of ageing without irritating the skin.
Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.
Apply a few drops to face in the evening as part of your skincare regimen. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Use sun protection during the day.

Instant difference!
I've only been using this product 2 weeks and instantly I've felt a difference in my skin texture. It's now a regular step in my skincare routine and I will definitely be buying it again!

More comfortable than the squalene
This applies easier than the squalene and dries my skin less. Used it after using lower strength retinols first

First time using this
Although I’m using retinol for the past couple of years, this is the first time I bought one from this brand. The texture, the colour of the serum is completely different than the ones before. I also going very easy and using this only a few times a week to avoid any issues. So far so good, I’m skin is glowing and dewy. I’m happy with this.

It’s good
It gives good results, however it is not of a faff that it needs to be refrigerated.

It’s ok
I find it leaves a sticky residue and it’s a bit annoying that you have to refrigerate it once opened. So I forget to use it.

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
I’ve been using this a few weeks now and have definitely noticed a difference to the brightness and texture of my skin. I’ve had a little bit of purging with it but nothing too bad. I will definitely carry on using it
