Fight signs of ageing with The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, a solution that combines two forms of next-generation Retinoid to help improve the appearance of ageing and acne-prone skin. The two Retinoids used are a Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (which has a multi-fold anti-ageing effect and is more efficient than Retinol), and pure Retinol in a protective capsule system which supports the delivery and efficacy of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. The solution works to visibly fight signs of ageing without irritating the skin.
We love how the emulsion keeps skin smooth, clear and more refined, by tackling the signs of ageing and breakout-prone skin by promoting cell regeneration. A potent serum which makes a visible difference to the skin over time, it's free from alcohol, nuts, oil, silicone and gluten. It's moderate in strength with minimal irritation, yet still fights the signs of ageing.
The Ordinary is a skincare brand from DECIEM, which is led by simplicity and prides itself on honesty and integrity. Dedicated to providing effective formulations and solutions to everyday skin issues, each product is results-focused and includes only the necessary and most effective ingredients to treat and improve the appearance of your skin. The Ordinary creates "Clinical formulations with integrity".
Apply a few drops of The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion to the face in the evening as part of your skincare regimen. Do not use with other retinoid treatments and make sure you use sun protection during the day. This is essential when using retinol products. Apply onto the skin at night after cleansing with the Squalane Cleanser before other serums and your moisturiser. You can follow with Natural Moisturising Factors + HA or Marine Hyaluronics for added hydration. If irritation occurs, stop using immediately and use only as directed on unbroken skin. It's advised to patch test before use.

haven’t tried this yet,but if the rest of the ordinary products are anything to go by then this will be just as good

Perfect for beginners!
This is a perfect alternative to the stronger retinol products for beginners. This is what I started my journey with and continue to use in between the stronger variations. Doesn’t cause breakouts when used correctly and has a nice texture!

So far so good
Been popping this on per instructions for a week. Am starting to see plumper skin around crows feet and forehead lines are smoothing out. Skin a tiny tiny bit sore when I wipe it with toner the following morning but is settling as each day goes by. Really impressed so far!!

Too early to tell but no issues
No issues, no poor reaction, goes on nicely under my other products. Hasn't dried skin out, just unsure if it'll be the most beneficial long term in comparison to a normal retinol.

An OK buy
Seems good so far. Used for a couple of months. Have noticed some dryness particularly around my chin. Skin does look fresher, but no outstanding results. Happy given the price

Good
Best retinol for such a small price. Its just important to get your skin get used to it, because it can be pretty irritant otherwise.

Another great product from the ordinary!
I actually bought this for my niece but I did use to use this, before progressing into retinal. It’s very gentle but also very effective.

Amazing! It works
This is my second time buying this, I find it completely evens out my skin tone and lessens dark spots. Your skin can be quite sensitive so adjust how often you apply accordingly. I love the majority of Ordinary products, amazing value for money.
