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 to bless your complexion is the Granactive Retinoid Serum 5% in Squalane (30ml), a high-strength serum softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Starring retinoid active technology, the Granactive Retinoid Serum 5% in Squalane (30ml) is a water-free solution working to exfoliate and renew the look of skin.
Keen to improve the appearance of your skin with a retinoid but wary of the potential side effects like dryness and redness? This hardworking serum could be just what you need; achieving faster-acting results than traditional retinol but keeping the look of the skin barrier in check. Housed in a light-as-air formula that refreshes and restores, it improves the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and fatigue... no wonder it's at the top of our wishlist!
Squalane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Bisabolol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Apply a small amount to the face in the evening, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected sun exposure and store in a cool, dry place.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

The ordinary
Was pleasantly surprised by this. A bit greasy but that fades after a while. A nice starter but other options out there.

Good but a bit greasy
A good percentage of retinoid for the price, I still swear by the Ordinary for affordability and no-nonsense genuine results. I find the squalane solution gives this serum a bit of a greasy texture for my already oily skin, but if using at night (as you should) then that shouldn't be an issue. It's also better for if you have sensitive skin or skin that's prone to drying out, as it helps counteract the drying/peeling effect that retinol can have. I prefer a blend of active ingredients so I don't have to layer (e.g. with niacinamide and peptides) but if you're happy to layer or just want your retinol simple and easy then this is the product for you.

On repeat
I buy this on repeat and use it as part of my nighttime routine in between a stronger retinal. It really works as well as more expensive vitamin A products I have tried.

Really good
I only gave 5 starts as it's a stronger strength than my skin can take so I am just building the tolerance up. Otherwise was great when I used it and helps plump the skin slightly. Really good retinoid and would recommend.
