I don't often write reviews but I always read them when searching for skincare products. I've long suffered from oily skin, large pores and more recently some fine lines around my mouth. I've tried so many products over the years that promise to minimise pores or reduce wrinkles but I've never really seen results. I've been using this for about 5 months and WOW - there is a noticable difference to my skin. It is soooo much smoother and my pores have definitely reduced in size, and the lines around my mouth have actually disappeared. A good retinol product and spf is all you need!

Amazing product for the price. Used to pay a fortune for a very well known night serum, well not any more, this is just as good. My skin glows, and I'm convinced is has helped with lines/firmness. I haven't had any irritation/break outs and I don't mind the oily texture.

First I tried Granactive Retiniod 2% Emulsion, then I decided to try in Squalane and I can say both really helped my skin!

Despite being retinol, this is somewhat soothing, especially for dryer skin types. I am acne prone and this hasn’t given me any breakouts at all. I feel my skin looks slightly brighter with this but after 3 uses it’s too soon to see any real results.

I've just bought the 5% retinol and after reading the reviews I thought I'd give it a try... I find that it's very oily/greasy and after 2 hours it didn't seem to absorb into my skin, it just sat on top leaving me wondering if there is any way I could make it absorb?? I currently used the 2% and found it to absorbs right away, I just wish it was the same consistency as their 2%. Quite disappointed, not sure if I'd purchase again because of this.
