The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And next in the brand's stellar line up is the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (30ml), supercharged with a high concentration of two retinoids to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Targeting everything from the look of uneven skin tone to fine lines and wrinkles, the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (30ml) is here to prolong the appearance of your skin's bounce and elasticity.
Featuring hydroxypinacolone reinoate and pure retinol, two retinoids which have stronger efficiency than standard retinols, this lightweight, milky-textured serum works hard so you don't have to! The appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation are all reduced, while the formula remains gentle enough to avoid causing any redness. We've got no doubt: this formula is soon to become your new bathroom best friend....

Cure to my spots!
I definitely believe this product has had a huge involvement in clearing my skin. I've noticed a big difference since using it and it has to lead me to use more of The Ordinary products.

Worked for texture and dark spots
If you used the first 'Advanced Retinoid 2%'- which is no longer available, you would love this! I'd say it is a better formula, just as effective but without the chemically-smell from the old one. I have dark skin and suffer from hyper-pigmentation and textured skin, I used this as step 4 of my 12 step routine to increase skin turn-over, and it absorbs very well into the skin. Even though it lasts me 4 months, I get some more every-time it is available because no other retinol products have impressed or worked effectively on my skin.

Amazing
I'm so happy I gave it a chance. I couldn't get rid of my scaring and dark spots after hormonal breakouts for a long time and this product works magic for me. There's no competition considering what you get for the price. Love it!

Great for skin texture but not spots
Made my skin smooth and even in texture, however, didn't help my oily zones or acne breakouts as desired. Would buy again just to keep my skin smooth.

I've been using this for 2-3 weeks now and I can definitely see a difference in my face. My skin feels smoother and brighter and it seems to have helped calm my spots as well. Definitely buying again.

Worked wonders on my skin- clear even toned smooth translucent and glowing- the envy of many friends!! I ran out and purchased the retinol with squalene-ugh!!! That did absolutely nothing except sit on my face. Thank goodness this is back- perfect for my normal slightly sensitive skin!!
