Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

product review positives
This is the perfect choice for people who would like to have a gentle start with their Retinol journey! I’ve never had an experience with retinol or any of its derivatives prior to trying this serum, yet I got absolutely no irritation! I love its texture and consistency and I feel like its such a treat to put this on my face. I was also afraid of the peeling and dryness that usually come with high percentages of retinoids but I experienced none of that. It’s quite moisturizing and has great spreadability. As it dries, my skin feels matte and almost powdery, I would say that its very similar to when I use TO Azelaic Acid Suspension. I barely purged too! The best part is feeling the difference in the texture and smoothness of my skin the next morning!
product review negatives
May be a little to weak to some people, but as a beginner its just at the right strength for me at the moment. Other than that, this is an amazing product and I am definitely going to repurchase it!
