THE ORDINARY Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

What It Is

Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (previously known as Advanced Retinoid 2%) is a water-based serum with two next-generation retinoids.

Please note that you may receive a bottle marked Advanced Retinoid 2%, as packaging updates are still in progress. The formula is the same.

What It Does

This treatment visibly reduces the signs of aging without irritation. It diminishes the look of wrinkles and fine lines, brightens dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and smooths and refines the skin’s texture.

Key Ingredients

• Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate: an advanced retinoid that delivers better anti-aging results with less irritation than other non-prescription retinoids
• Retinol: pure retinol in a protective capsule system for sustained delivery over time

How to Use

Apply Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion to clean, dry skin before any other products at night. Allow a few minutes for it to absorb.

Do not use this serum with other products containing retinoids, such as retinol and retinoic acid.

Retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation. We recommend wearing sunscreen during the day.
