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 5% in Squalane (30ml), a high-strength serum softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Starring retinoid active technology, the Granactive Retinoid Serum 5% 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.

Amazing
I don't often write reviews but I always read them when searching for skincare products. I've long suffered from oily skin, large pores and more recently some fine lines around my mouth. I've tried so many products over the years that promise to minimise pores or reduce wrinkles but I've never really seen results. I've been using this for about 5 months and WOW - there is a noticable difference to my skin. It is soooo much smoother and my pores have definitely reduced in size, and the lines around my mouth have actually disappeared. A good retinol product and spf is all you need!

Fabulous!
As always, The Ordinary products are fantastic. I used to use Retinoid emulsion and recently switched to the one in Squalane. It is amazing and I guess since my skin's so dry, it just fits in beautifully. My skin has changed so much for the better!

Won't order again
Thought I'd try this as I presumed it must be good as it was always out of stock when I tried to order before. However, I won't bother again as its much too oily. Only been using for a couple of weeks so not sure if it is having any effect.

Super serum
This is higher strength retinol and it's the only one that dries out my skin if I introduce it too quickly. When this happens the skin can look old dehydrated and fatigued, the opposite of what we want. So, always start off every other day, and although it's very fluid only use 2/3 drops. Even longer-term I struggle to use this daily. 5 times a week max. But, the results as with all the retinol here are wonderful, but you need to use it accordingly.

Great but...
This is a good product however just wish it wasn’t so oily and was a lotion rather than in squalene.

Best I've tried so far (and that's a lot)
I was prepared for skin-reactions due to the high percentage of retinol, but I've had none whatsoever. I have used a milder retinol some time ago (but not during the last three months), so maybe that's why. My opinion is that The Ordinary's granactive retinol is really the best. I used a milder one last spring and summer, and my husband one day looked at me and asked "what have you done with your face? Your skin looks marvellous!" - and you know after almost 30 years together one must really make big changes to get your not so much talkative partner to notice anything. So this higher percentage during my covid-quarantine I know has been a success for my skin. I really recommend you try it.
