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.

- Formulated with moderate-strength retinoid
- Low risk of the irritation commonly associated with retinol skincare

Great for the price
It’s a great product for its price. Gentle yet effective. Keeps skin toned, pores tight and overall complexion clear. Not the most powerful retinol product I’ve ever used but for the price you pay it’s absolutely fantastic. Doesn’t clog pores, and has all the befits of retinol, just in a milder form.

Great
Really good product. Have tried other retinoid products in the past which caused a lot of breakouts (usual, but still undesirable!). Have been using this for a year and haven't had one single breakout, with consistent use of 2x a week. Skin looks super healthy. I combine it with vitamin c (different days, not together) and have seen great results. The price is also a positive - less than half of other retionoids for the same, or better, results.

Gentle starter retinoid
I've been using this retinoid every other day and find it leaves my skin less 'creased', and more resilient.

On my 3rd bottle.
Budget friendly. It works well and doesn’t irritate my skin. Can’t go wrong with the ordinary - the price is great. I’m on to my 3rd bottle and won’t be changing any time soon! Haven’t got much more to say but need to meet this 250 character thing haha
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Hydrating, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture, Visible Pores, Anti-Aging

Gentle yet effective
I was apprehensive about using this product as I’ve had quite bad experiences with retinol in the past. This product didn’t cause any irritation and I was able to build up to using it every other day without any issues. After a few weeks of use, my skin definitely looks brighter!
Best Use: Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Texture
