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.
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).

Retinol 5% in Squalane
I’m a woman in my fifties and have used many high brand skin routines. I love this brand because it takes all the important ingredients and maximises their delivery. Have been using this particular product for five months and the difference it has made is amazing my skin is clear my pores have reduced as well as lines and wrinkles. First use a Retinoid with a lower concentration for two months before. This product is high strength and if your skin is not used to retinoids it probably will react

Nourishing Serum with Visible Results
Love this! I am nearly 40, with three children (gulp, I know) so tired eyes and "lifelines" are regulars on my face. This serum helps to ease the effects of aging in a gentle nourishing way. It absorbs quickly and easily and has become an essential part of my nighttime beauty routine. I use it just before lathering my face with moisturiser and I wake up to a smoother, softer complexion. And I'm sure it's helped curb the ravages of my young brood, sleepless nights and endless runaround. It's always out of stock, so clearly this works for many. Highly recommend it!

The Ordinary Retinoid 5% in Squaline
This product leaves my skin feeling smooth and I can definitely see improvement in lines and deeper wrinkles. I am 66 yrs and am often complimented on my young-looking skin!

It’s oily. Will break out dehydrated skin.
I have a history of cystic acne and rosacea. It cleared up with medicine, so it made sense to use a retinoid product in high percentage because my skin is already used to it. My skin is no longer oily. It used to be. But it is dehydrated. I haven’t had any luck using rosehip seed oil, oil cleansing or other natural oils that work for acne prone skin. But squalane is an oil also found in skin so I thought this might work. Unfortunately, NO. I broke out around my forehead, mouth, jawline. (I read the same pattern in another review) I know this is not purging because I started breaking out on my neck where I did not even use the product. I’m sure it works for others who may have acne prone skin, which is not dehydrated. Others like me, please stay away.

Game changer
This product leaves my skin SO smooth, and the next morning I wake up with baby soft skin and a glowing complexion. (My DREAM skin) Even after one use, my colleagues at work noticed a difference right away. I can’t see myself living without this now!

Fantastic, a 'can’t live without it’ product!
How I love this product. I have never had such good results for so little money. It is moisturising, feels luxurious and has made a visible improvement to my skin. I have had no negative reaction at all. I use it every night, even around my eye area without issue. I would highly recommend. It is often out of stock though, in fact I have been waiting for two months as of today which is annoying. If you like it buy more than one.

Surprised how good this is.
Amazing product for the price. Used to pay a fortune for a very well known night serum, well not any more, this is just as good. My skin glows, and I'm convinced is has helped with lines/firmness. I haven't had any irritation/break outs and I don't mind the oily texture.

I really like it!
First I tried Granactive Retiniod 2% Emulsion, then I decided to try in Squalane and I can say both really helped my skin!

Feel luxe
Despite being retinol, this is somewhat soothing, especially for dryer skin types. I am acne prone and this hasn’t given me any breakouts at all. I feel my skin looks slightly brighter with this but after 3 uses it’s too soon to see any real results.
