Fight signs of ageing with The Ordinary 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 and is 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.
We love how the emulsion keeps skin smooth, clear and more refined, by tackling the signs of ageing and breakout-prone skin by promoting cell regeneration. A potent serum which makes a visible difference to the skin over time, it's free from alcohol, nuts, oil, silicone and gluten. It's moderate in strength with minimal irritation, yet still fights the signs of ageing.
The Ordinary is a skincare brand from DECIEM, which is led by simplicity and prides itself on honesty and integrity. Dedicated to providing effective formulations and solutions to everyday skin issues, each product is results-focused and includes only the necessary and most effective ingredients to treat and improve the appearance of your skin. The Ordinary creates "Clinical formulations with integrity".
Apply a few drops of The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion to the face in the evening as part of your skincare regimen. Do not use with other retinoid treatments and make sure you use sun protection during the day. This is essential when using retinol products. Apply onto the skin at night after cleansing with the Squalane Cleanser before other serums and your moisturiser. You can follow with Natural Moisturising Factors + HA or Marine Hyaluronics for added hydration. If irritation occurs, stop using immediately and use only as directed on unbroken skin. It's advised to patch test before use.

Retinoid
Not used it yet but I’m excited to try as a lot of hype around retinoids at the moment. This seems to be great value and as I have a lot of the ordinary products I trust this will be another hit!
