Description
The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid * 2% Emulsion
The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion is a next-generation, advanced anti-aging serum designed to target visible signs of aging without the irritation typically associated with retinoid use. This water-based emulsion features a 2% concentration of Granactive Retinoid, a highly stabilized form of retinoid that is gentle yet effective. Unlike traditional retinol, Granactive Retinoid delivers all the benefits of retinoids—such as reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and improved skin texture—while minimizing the risk of irritation, redness, and dryness.
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, making it ideal for nightly use. Over time, the serum helps to accelerate skin cell turnover, promoting a more even complexion and restoring a youthful glow. This product is especially suitable for those looking to incorporate retinoids into their routine but who may have sensitive skin or are new to retinoid use.
