Helps treat: Signs of ageing and irregular skin texture
Feels like: A creamy, hydrating serum
Recommended for: This moderate-strength retinol-alternative delivers anti-ageing benefits without irritation
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.

Hydrating
This retinoid felt nice and hydrating on the face. Didnt see much difference but then again its my first time using the retinoid. Really creamy and easy to blend in. Sinks into the skin really nicely and quick. Doesnt make my skin feel dry or tight. Really affordable product and i feel like this could be a good one for beginners.
Best Use: Hydration

Decent Beginner Retinoid
To be honest, it hasn’t really made any noticeable differences to my skin yet, but unlike other retinoid products, it also didn’t dry me out or purge me. It has a really creamy consistency and blends into the skin really beautifully. I use it on alternate nights, but it’s gentle enough to be used every night. I’ll move on to a stronger retinoid after this.

Great for neck
I use this for anti aging in my neck , it works just fine. It may smell a little funky but you get used to it, i can accept the smell and the texture. It is non drying, none of that nasty dryness you get from some retinoids. This is quite hydrating and comfortable .
Best Use: Hydration, Fine Lines, Anti-Aging

Hard to judge
It was one of earliest purchase I did from this brand and I can't say it saw any difference I used the whole bottle but to be honest I was using prescription strength retnoid for my acne so in comparison to that this has zero irritation because maybe my skin was tolerating much higher strength I am still using tretnoin but much less than before and I still can get irritation if I do too much or use it frequently but with this I observe nothing no irritation but no results also maybe you have to use it for quite sometime I am more happier with mu decision to stick to prescription strength as I am somewhat skeptical about retinol products over the counter
Best Use: Breakouts & Acne, Uneven Skin Texture, Brightening, Anti-Aging
