The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And next to bless your complexion is the Granactive Retinoid Serum 2% in Squalane (30ml), a high-strength serum softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Starring retinoid active technology, the Granactive Retinoid Serum 2% in Squalane (30ml) is a water-free solution working to exfoliate and renew the look of skin.
Keen to improve the appearance of your skin with a retinoid but wary of the potential side effects like dryness and redness? This hardworking serum could be just what you need; achieving faster-acting results than traditional retinol but keeping the look of the skin barrier in check. Housed in a light-as-air formula that refreshes and restores, it improves the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and fatigue... no wonder it's at the top of our wishlist!
Squalane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Bisabolol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected sun exposure and store in a cool, dry place.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Not my jam
I have combination skin and had never used a retinol product before. The consistency of this was a little greasy but it does soak in and leaves my skin feeling hydrated immediately after application. HOWEVER, I noticed that I was breaking out all of a sudden and couldn't figure why. After skipping this product from my nightly routine for just 3 days I am again blemish-free, and I don't think I will be happy to continue using it as I also didn't notice any of the positive effects I was expecting from a retinol product. I would switch to the emulsion but I would like to go up in retinol strength and The Ordinary do not do a higher strength in the emulsion yet.

Never again
I've used up 2/3 of the bottle in a little more than a month and have seen no improvements. The product never sinks in and leaves my skin greasy. Also, it looks like I tend to break out more often cause once I stop using this for a few days, my skin clears out. In a nutshell, it might work for dry skin but oily/normal skin types had better stay away from the product.

Not what i expected
Granactive retinoid too low for my thick skin with oily T-zone. But here is gentle and nice squalane for beautiful even skin. I give 4 stars for this.

The only retinoid for Sun sensitive skin
I have tried many other retinol products before including the ordinary’s retinol everything else except this Granactive Retinoid 2% made my pigmented skin more sun sensitive. Since it's in Squalane, it doesn’t dry out the skin and makes skin soft and supple.

Great stuff!
I have a pretty simple nighttime routine - I wash or exfoliate and then moisturise, lately using this product. I have combination skin, and this seems to balance it out nicely during both dry and humid seasons. This isn’t water-based but also isn’t oily, spreads well and leaves quite a nice little glow in the morning. I am the late twenties with the beginnings of a few wrinkles and can see that the lines around my eyes and forehead are slightly smoother after use. I’ve tried a few products, including this brand and this particular one is the only one that I have seen any difference with so far. Definitely a great value product ☺️
