Achieve a more youthful complexion with The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, an advanced skincare serum that uses granactive retinoid, a next-generation retinoid active technology that avoids causing irritation to the skin that is often produced by retinoid use.
Gentle in its consistency upon application, this lightweight serum works to minimise the signs of ageing and uneven texture, helping to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark spots.
This emulsion is free from silicone and alcohol, and is also vegan and cruelty-free. This formula can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Thorough skin protection is advised in conjunction with use.
Key Benefits
- Formulated with moderate-strength retinoid
- Low risk of the irritation commonly associated with retinol skincare
- A lightweight and creamy emulsion
- Works to treat a variety of skin conditions, including pigmentation, common signs of ageing and acne
- Helps to minimise the appearance of wrinkles

MAGIC!!
I love this! I tried everything before and was almost desperate about the texture of my skin. They say it takes your skin weeks to get used to retinoids, but I saw visible improvement within a week! Among many reduction of breakout, which were very frequent for me. I recomment using this in the PM, and the balance it out with zinc
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture

amazing product
once I started using it there was no going back and it would've been more comfortable if the ordinary granactive retinoid 5% in squalane had also a formula in emulsion

Every night that I use this I wake up looking
Every night that I use this, I wake up looking beautiful. Dark spots are lighter, texture is more smoother and plump. The formula feels smooth and creamy. And it melts right into my skin. I have been using this for years. I am 42 years old and I look about in my late 20s. And this is my secret lol

I love this!
This is the only type of vitamin A that I can tolerate on my skin and I use it every other night. It’s been about six weeks and I am seeing positive results. I hope this will always be available.

Great for sensitive skin
I am very new to retinol/retinoids and I was very apprehensive about trying it because I have sensitive skin that almost always breaks out or does not respond well to many skincare products. I thought this would be harsh and strip and thin my skin, but it hasn’t. My skin loves the feel of the creamy formula, it feels so hydrating. I’m already seeing my skin look healthier after using it for a few days. I think if you are a new retinol user like myself or have sensitive, hormonal acne prone skin, this might be the best Retinoid product to start with. Thank you The Ordinary for great quality, affordable products!
