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).

Oily consistency
I have been using the same retinoid for the past 2 years and I really enjoyed it! It is oil based so leaves your skin quite wet for some time. Personally, I like the feeling of glazed skin, but might not be for everyone.

Glowing
I love this product. I have sensitive skin and haven't had any problems with this product. I use it in the evening after my skin care routine and it helps hydrate my skin and gives me a glow.

I wanted to love this...
Was really excited to try this as a retinol product that was so affordable but it just didn't do anything for my skin. I found it to be quite greasy and would not repurchase.

not good
I can’t make friends with this company, I didn’t like the product, it’s too oily, too aggressive, and, to be honest, I don’t see the result at all

Great but not my favourite
I usually use Retinol Fix Booster Extreme however I like a lot of other of the Ordinary products. This one leaves my skin softer and brighter than other products but it's a little harsher and pills easily if you apply too soon after.
