Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
Summary: This is one of the products of The Ordinary I've used the longest. Non-irritating retinoid that is smooth, silky and easy to absorb. Details: This retinoid has a milky texture and a faint smell that I can't describe very well. I like the f...

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
I wanted a retinoid product that is not oily, as I find the other retinoids from The Ordinary in squalane too long to absorb. This emulsion is not oily at all and absorbs very quickly. No irritation at all, which is normal for retinoid (vs retinol)....
Unfortunately only retinoid 2% exist in emulsion, the 5% is in squalane only. I feel that it is not strong enough.

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
This is my first retinoid. I was so scared to start as I read it can cause irritation, purging. First of all, it is a lot of product and lasts looonnnng. I started using it twice a week and improving but still it just doesnt empty. It is a light fo...
I do not like droppers!! Also the container is made of glass so every time is a mini-heartbreak when it slips as I live far away from the UK and last time shipping took a month. I recently got addicted to dr Dray and she told in a video that these g...

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
I love this retinoid's formula. I use it for blemishes, dark post and anti-aging treatments twice a week.
It is not stable. It is only good for 3 months and 30ml is too much for that time (twice a week use).
