Product Description
Stories of redness and irritation might've scared you off starting to use a retinoid, but The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% In Squalane gives you all the amazing age-defying benefits of this wonder ingredient without the side effects.
Granactive retinoid is a high-strength, zero-to-low irritation technology that is proven to soften fine lines and neutralize pigmentation for fresher, more youthful skin. This is a moderate strength formula, great for easing your skin into using a retinoid, but once you start seeing the benefits of this product, we promise you won't want to stop!
Just remember to use thorough sun protection every day as retinoids make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, and don't double up on retinoids, as amazing as they are!
For a stronger concentration, try The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% In Squalane. You might also like The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser.
