The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane 30ml

This water-free solution contains a 2% concentration of an advanced retinoid active complex called Granactive Retinoid.It has been shown to offer better results against multiple signs of aging than retinol. Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (30ml) doesn't cause irritation. Granactive Retinoid, an active technology from Grant Industries, is a solubilized system of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. It is a highly-advanced form of retinoid. It is a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers a multi-fold better effect against signs of aging than retinol, retinyl palmitate and nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid.

This product uses next-generation retinoid active technologies. These technologies cannot be compared directly with retinol itself in terms of concentration because they include a different retinoid molecule. In a similar way that Retinol cannot be compared with Retinoic Acid in terms of concentration. 

Caution:

Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.

When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
