In an evening skincare routine for those seeking retinoid results without irritation, The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (30ml) is a creamy serum built around Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate — a next-generation retinoid that acts directly on the skin without the conversion step required by conventional retinol, making it better tolerated on sensitive skin.
Key Benefits:
• Visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases
• Delivers retinol-comparable results with a lower likelihood of irritation
• Improves skin texture and helps even out skin tone and discolouration
• Supports long-term skin renewal and structural resilience
Key Ingredients:
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) 2% — advanced, direct-acting retinoid
• Retinol — supports cellular turnover
• Bisabolol — soothes and calms the skin
• Tasmannia Lanceolata fruit/leaf extract — natural antioxidant
How to Use: Shake well, apply a few drops to the face in the PM routine after water-based serums and before heavier creams; always follow with daily SPF in the morning.
