The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

What it is: A creamy serum that targets visible signs of aging through a highly advanced retinoid active, one of the best all-around ingredients for skin.

What it does: contains an advanced form of retinoid called "Granactive Retinoid." This formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoids to target the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture irregularities. It's designed to offer the benefits of traditional retinoids with less irritation, making it suitable for those who want to incorporate retinoids into their skincare routine without experiencing excessive sensitivity. This emulsion helps promote skin renewal, improve the signs of aging, and enhance overall skin texture and tone.

It is a creamy serum with moderate strength ideal for occasional user.

Main Ingredients

• ✔️ Granactive Retinoid (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate): This is a next-generation retinoid that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. It's known for being less irritating compared to traditional retinoids.

• ✔️ Squalane: Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, counteracting any potential dryness or irritation caused by retinoids.

• ✔️ Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: This is a type of fatty acid derived from coconut oil that serves as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin.

• ✔️ Retinol: In addition to the Granactive Retinoid, this product also contains a small amount of retinol, another form of vitamin A that aids in skin renewal and rejuvenation.

Together, these ingredients work to promote skin renewal, improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin texture, all while keeping potential irritation at bay.
