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.

Perfect for beginners!
This is a perfect alternative to the stronger retinol products for beginners. This is what I started my journey with and continue to use in between the stronger variations. Doesn’t cause breakouts when used correctly and has a nice texture!

So far so good
Been popping this on per instructions for a week. Am starting to see plumper skin around crows feet and forehead lines are smoothing out. Skin a tiny tiny bit sore when I wipe it with toner the following morning but is settling as each day goes by. Really impressed so far!!

An OK buy
Seems good so far. Used for a couple of months. Have noticed some dryness particularly around my chin. Skin does look fresher, but no outstanding results. Happy given the price

Good
Best retinol for such a small price. Its just important to get your skin get used to it, because it can be pretty irritant otherwise.

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!
