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.

Like it
Enjoy using it but really need to wait for it to sink into the skin as it creates an oily texture and can be quite a heavy feeling on the skin if you moisturise too soon after applying it.

Great product
Great product, great smoothness on the skin after use but even when it goes nowhere near my eyes they seem a bit sensitive to it.

Just started using
Only 3 stars as I have only just started using the product so haven't seen any difference yet and you need to give it a few weeks. However, the formula is great and not drying at all because it's an oil. Don't let this put you off though as it does massage in well and hasn't caused any spots.

You can see a difference
Immediately after using it for couple of days the change was visible, my skin looks so much better and has a even tone. I have combination/ oily skin and sometimes get break outs but this did wonders for my skin, it cleared it. Wrinkles aren't my number one concern but there have been changes in crows feet as well, they are less visible. I put it on at night and before any other cream and can't say enough good things about it.

Would repurchase
This is great for my sensitive skin, I started out using it every other night for about two weeks and I've been using it nightly for about a month now. It doesn't irritate my skin at all and definitely has improved overall texture and hydration levels. Hard to say how much it really helps with fine lines because I don't have noticeable ones yet, but I'm more than happy with what it does for its price.

I like it
I've been using this now a few weeks. I like it. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for the oiliness of squalane so I think i will also purchase the emulsion but otherwise it leaves my skin soft and it is a good product.

Love it
I tried many products from the ordinary and so far this is my favourite. I’m relatively new to vitamin A products, I tried 1% retinol a while ago, it was very drying and my skin started to peel it so I stopped and never considered using any similar product again, the ordinary product was appealing to me since it’s not drying formula, so I wanted to give it a chance. I have been using it for three months, first I started to apply it three times a week and now I use it on daily basis, it’s not drying and not irritating at all, my skin feels nice and it helped with my breakout and made my skin smoother and more hydrated , I guess I can switch to stronger retinoids when I run out to notice more difference, definitely worth checking out, totally recommend.

Great product
I have been using this product for 3 weeks now and have built up to using it nightly. There has been no irritation, my dry winter forehead is now nice and soft. Difficult to tell if the fine lines are any better but my skin does look a lot more flawless when I put my make up on! The squalene does make it greasy and it takes a good half an hour to absorb into the skin but for my dry skin it’s perfect and my skin feels lovely when I wake up in the morning so for me, that’s a plus. Going to try the 5% next.
