Product Description
Starring retinoid active technology, the Granactive Retinoid Serum 2% in Squalane (30ml) is a water-free solution working to exfoliate and renew the look of skin.
Keen to improve the appearance of your skin with a retinoid but wary of the potential side effects like dryness and redness? This hardworking serum could be just what you need; achieving faster-acting results than traditional retinol but keeping the look of the skin barrier in check. Housed in a light-as-air formula that refreshes and restores, it improves the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and fatigue... no wonder it's at the top of our wishlist!
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected sun exposure and store in a cool, dry place.
The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And next to bless your complexion is the Granactive Retinoid Serum 2% in Squalane (30ml), a high-strength serum softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Squalane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Bisabolol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.

Good, the Emulsion is better
It’s a good Retinol product, but as Squalane makes the texture oily (obviously), I don’t like it nearly as much as the Emulsion.

It is good
I did not enjoy how oily the product was but I feel like it was helpful. I will try the emulsion one next.

Works, but not my favorite
The primer is clear, which is fine, except its consistency is quite congealed and clumpy which makes it difficult to get out of its tube applicator. I'm using it because it works - eyeshadow does last when you wear it, but I don't think I'd buy it again.

Gentle yet effective
I am a retinoid beginner and this product is easing me into this new skincare regime. I wake up with softer skin, and it's not caused purging. I love it!

Not for me
I like the consistency of this and found it gentle but did not notice much improvement to my skin after a couple of months. My skin was soft when waking up in the morning but once you wash your face, it's gone.

A good and inexpensive retinol
It’s a simple retinol and works very well, it’s very cheap and you have results. I have to try other retinols to compare, but i like it.
