The Ordinary
Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
30ml
£11.00
Description
A gentle but hardworking serum which targets all signs of ageing and textural irregularities.
Utilising a high concentration of two next-gen retinoids (proven to be more effective than standard retinoids) this lightweight, milky-textured serum works hard to defeat the main signs of skin ageing. Lines, wrinkles, loose skin, and pigmentation are all visibly reduced in appearance without the irritation typically associated with retinoid use.
- Hydroxypinacolone Reinoate - An advanced retinoid which, unlike others, doesn't need to be converted into the active form of Vitamin A in the skin, making it better at treating dark spots and wrinkles than other retinoids.
- Pure retinol - Delivered in a protective capsule system to ensure that it is gentle on skin whilst achieving visible results.
- Advanced Retinoid 2% causes enhanced sensitivity to sunlight, always follow with sun protection.

Ich empfehle es allen, die mit Skincare anfangen wollen. Mit diesem Retinol sollte man langsam starten. Es ist gut, zuerst dreimal pro Woche zu beginnen und dann langsam zu steigern.

I've been using the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion for a few months now, and it's honestly one of the best retinoids I've tried for my sensitive skin. I usually struggle with redness and irritation when using traditional retinols, but this one is super gentle and non-irritating. My skin feels smoother, more even, and has a healthy glow without any peeling or dryness. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, and it layers well with my other skincare. I love that I can get visible results without the usual discomfort. Highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin who wants to start using a retinoid!

First time trying a retinoid, my skin feels firmer and the appearance of fine lines is less in just two weeks. I use this every other day!

I just love this product!!
I tried so many different brands and this is the first one that didn't break my skin barrier/ dried my skin/ caused breakout.
It's perfect for beginners with sensitive, oily and acne prone skin. No smell either.
Buy it you won't regret.

Ordinary is one of the best products in the market I feel Doesn’t fail. I’ve used so many different products over the years but I always revert back to the ordinary. As for this retinal. It’s the only one what doesn’t leave me irritated oily and I can see results within six months of using it

Habituée au retinol j’en mets tous les soirs avant une crème hydratante. Pas de sensibilité, texture bien absorbée et non collante. Odeur un peu forte mais pas dérangeante dans mon cas.
