The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30ml

The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30ml

The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion delivers a 2% concentration of advanced retinoid complex, including hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), a next-generation retinoid alternative that targets the look of fine lines, dullness, and uneven tone with significantly less irritation than traditional retinol or tretinoin.

Key Benefits

• Active Ingredients: Combines 2% Granactive Retinoid (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate / HPR) with an encapsulated form of pure retinol for gentle, sustained delivery.
• Texture: A milky, lotion-like creamy emulsion that absorbs quickly without a greasy feel.
• Skin Types: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and beginners looking for a gentler alternative to traditional retinol.
• Formulation Highlights: Alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free, nut-free, vegan, and cruelty-free (pH 5.00–6.00).

How to Use

• Timing: Apply a few drops to a cleansed face and neck in the evening routine only.
• Layering: Apply after water-based serums and before heavy oils or moisturizers.
• Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) the next morning, as retinoids increase UV sensitivity.
• Storage & Shelf Life: Keep refrigerated after opening and use within 3 months.

Important Safety Precautions

• Avoid Combining: Do not use with other retinoid products (such as direct retinol or retinoic acid) at the same time.
• Not for Acne: This formula is designed for anti-aging and texture improvement, not as an acne treatment.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Avoid using this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
