Really good

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

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.

Great for the skin

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

Started using this a while ago after the original retinol seemed a bit too drying for my skin. No problems with this retinoid, my skin looks great and has no irritation.

Perfect for dry skin

Normally retinol dries out my skin but this one is perfect as it actually moisturises my skin!!

Review for THE ORDINARY GRANACTIVE RETINOID SERUM 5% IN SQUALANE 30ML

5 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is my favourite retinoid serum as it leaves my skin brighter, clearer and healthier looking, it also helps reduce fine lines and pigmentation. The Ordinary products are also so reasonably priced too. I've repurchased this product many times and will continue to do so. 100% recommended.

A bit too oily

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Bit too greasy. Didn’t really see much of a difference. Seemed like I had more blackheads due to using it during these past few weeks of warmer weather. Saying this though I must point out that I used to be a regular user of The Ordinary products and in general they are great for the maintenance of skin while younger. I am now 51 and going through the menopause and so I need something a bit more stronger.

Great

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

Noticed a huge improvement in skin texture within a few days. Minor break outs, but just reduced the frequency. Doesn’t dehydrate skin like some retinols

Good Value

4 stars out of a maximum of 5

This is a great option if you just started to use retinol. One thing only is that you cannot use it too often, or it can irritate the skin.

It’s okay but I’ve used nicer, but for the price not bad
