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.
Aqua (Water), Ethyl Linoleate, Propanediol, Glycerin, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Bisabolol, Retinol, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Inulin Lauryl Carbamate, Glyceryl Stearate, Ceteareth-12, Ceteareth-20, Cetearyl Alcohol, Carrageenan, Acacia Senegal Gum, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Palmitate, Sucrose Laurate, Polysorbate 20, Behentrimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

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.

Another great product from the ordinary!
I actually bought this for my niece but I did use to use this, before progressing into retinal. It’s very gentle but also very effective.

Amazing! It works
This is my second time buying this, I find it completely evens out my skin tone and lessens dark spots. Your skin can be quite sensitive so adjust how often you apply accordingly. I love the majority of Ordinary products, amazing value for money.

Wonderful retinol serum!
This retinol is excellent. My skin has responded marvellously to it. I have been building up the percentage and I can confirm I've had zero retinol uglies with this beauty. I would highly recommend it!

Not noticed any difference
I’ve tried this one and the retinal 5% in squaline and retinal 0.2% emulsion and I think the retinal 0.2% Emulsion wins. I thought the higher the retinol the more vivid effect but less seems to be better. I am getting terrible bags under my eyes so need to keep using the caffeine and this and keep massaging with the glass balls with the handle taken from the fridge. They really make a difference they are from revolution and have made a difference to rubbing in serums.

I love the fact the ordinary stays producing glass bottles on these products, it is the best. I truly follow up to them and its effectiveness.

Too soon to tell
I love the ease this goes on the skin- however although I have been used to a 1% Retinoid I’m not sure how this 2% will work. So far so good.

Retinol
Not my favourite retinol. Consistency is nice however doesn’t feel like it’s effective as the other retinol products that the ordinary has.
