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.

Favourite retinol from ordinary range
The emulsion formula is very easily applied and absorbed into the skin unlike the Squalane version. Notice slight skin purging after using which is a sign it’s working rim within too. Nothing extreme. Just more whiteheads surfacing which are generally loose and comes off with minimal effort

I am not a spring chicken but I am doing my best to keep my skin as young as possible. My daughter bought me some Ordinary for Mothering Sunday 2 years ago and I havnt looked back I wouldn't be i without it. I like to buy from Look Fantastic they carry a good variety and delivery is fast.

Amazing cleared my acne
Wow what can I say, I have tried everything to clear my acne and this worked in a week. I had an initial purge 2 days in then 3 days later it was almost clear. My skin feels so smooth and plump. A miracle in a bottle. 2 weeks in my skin has never looked so good.

So far so good
Used it a few times over the last couple of weeks. I noticed that it helps dry out spots and help them heal quicker. I don't have deep wrinkles and started using this as a preventative so can't say anything about that. But my skin does feel soft after using and has tolerated the product quite well.

Superb
I have used this for 2 months so far and I can see a noticeable difference in my skin. My crows feet appear reduced and unexpectedly the redness around my nose and chin has improved as well. I had no sensitivity or dryness at all, from day 1. I use the Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + zinc underneath it and Dr Sam’s Flawless Moisturiser over it. Amazing products, all three! I am 45 years old with combination skin. By the way I have also tried the Granactive Retinoid 0.5% in Squalane and I really disliked it. Made me feel very greasy, stung my eyes and smelled weird.

Brilliant
After some quick research online about the best cosmetic ingredient to smooth out lines on aging skin I decided to buy a product that included retinol. the Ordinary is very well priced. After the first application I noticed a big difference. Skin looks clear, exfoliated and small lines are melting away. So far after two weeks use I have not had any problems with redness or dryness.

I am new to retinoid
I am new to retinoid and was hesitant about using this. I was afraid to wake up the next morning with spots and irritated skin. But thank God I woke up to a smooth slimy to touch face. I am really pleased with it and got myself a second bottle.

Great retinol serum
This serum is lovely to use. I was originally using anothother retinol which was twice the price and this one is just as effective in my opinion. My complexion is very clear and hardly need make up at all now. I had a bad reaction to a face wash and my skin was dry and sore but I put some of this on and felt instant relief.
