Why you need it
Why you need it
The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane is a water-free solution that contains a 5% concentration of an advanced Retinoid active complex called Granactive Retinoid that has been shown to offer better results against multiple signs of ageing than Retinol without any of the irritation and drawbacks common with Retinol. Granactive Retinoid is a solubilized system of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate which offers a multi-fold better effect against signs of ageing than nearly all other forms of non-prescription Retinoid.
If you have never used Retinol or active Retinoids before, we recommend using The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane initially so skin can build tolerance.

Do not use products containing Retinol or Retinoids when pregnant or breastfeeding.

how to use
how to use
When to use:
Before Oils/Creams. PM Only.
Conflicts:
Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Do not use if pregnant/breastfeeding. Use of direct acids (Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid etc) may increase skin's sensitivity if used together with Retinols/Retinoids so please monitor how your skin responds and reduce or discontinue use if necessary.
SPF recommended:
Use of daytime SPF is strongly recommended when using Retinol/Retinoid products.
Caution:
Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation.

A: This is a higher-strength solution that offers a 5% concentration of an advanced retinoid complex called Granactive Retinoid. This solution is designed to offer significant anti-aging effects, potentially with a reduced risk of irritation commonly associated with traditional retinols.
Q: How do I use this product?
A: After cleansing and toning in the evening, apply a small amount to your face. Avoid using other retinoid treatments at the same time. Always follow with moisturizer.
Q: How often should I use it?
A: Start by using it a few times a week in the evening to assess your skin's tolerance. Gradually increase the frequency as your skin becomes accustomed.
Q: Can I combine it with other The Ordinary products?
A: Avoid using it with other retinoid treatments. Be cautious when combining with products containing vitamin C or acids.
Q: Why is the product in Squalane?
A: Squalane is a hydrating ingredient that mimics our skin's naturally produced oils. It helps deliver the retinoid effectively while offering added moisturization to counteract potential dryness from the retinoid.
Q: Is it suitable for all skin types?
A: While most skin types can benefit from retinoids, those with sensitive skin should proceed with caution. Patch-testing is recommended.
Q: How is Granactive Retinoid different from traditional retinol?
A: Granactive Retinoid is a newer generation of retinoids. It offers similar benefits as traditional retinol but is believed to cause less skin irritation.
Q: Can I use it in the morning?
A: Retinoids are recommended for evening use due to the potential for increased skin sensitivity to sunlight. Always wear SPF when using retinoid products.
Q: What are the benefits of retinoids?
A: Retinoids are known for their anti-aging benefits, including reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, as well as improving skin texture.
Q: Are there side effects?
A: Potential side effects of retinoids include redness, peeling, dryness, and increased sun sensitivity. Introduce the product gradually to minimize these effects, and immediately cease use if these occur.
Q: Does The Ordinary test on animals?
A: No, The Ordinary is a cruelty-free brand, and they do not test their products on animals.
Q: Can I use it around the eyes?
A: Use caution around the eye area, which is more delicate and sensitive. If considering use near the eyes, apply sparingly and avoid getting the product directly in the eyes.

Very good product and great results with it
Really had high hopes for this, but it's just ok. Does give results but after about 6 weeks.
Love the granactive 5% retinoid in squalane I'm using the ordinary products for bout 4 years now and love the difference in my skin
Excelente producto
very good
The granactive retinoid really brightened the skin,smoothing and fading existing marks and minor brown spots.l didn't experience any irritation despite applying most evenings...Will continue to use this.
This is highly effective and potent with great results.
Very gentle on the skin. Didnt experience any dry skin.
Great serum I use it every night.
It's my second time ordering from Cloud 10 and the service is always prompt and good value!
Fab product
Very impressed with this skincare brand. Will definitely buy more products.
I started with 2% and moved on to the 5% really love it gives skin a lovely even appearance and glow without drying it out,
Funny story
This works I have no doubt it’s very gentle but potent, it’s giving me a hairy face...lol
But that just proves it’s works on cell turn over it has reduced scar significantly and not everyone will get the hair growth so just keep it in mind
The Squalene can be a little greasy, great otherwise.
I use this product as part of my night time skin regimen and i love it. I have ordered twice already and will continue ordering this product. :)
Great product
Can you use this under your eyes?
I personally don't use it under eye.l use it nightly and find it very effective.
Should I use Granactive Retinoid 5% before or after applying serum? I was told by someone that serum should be the first layer on your skin and yet I have read where Retinoid should be applied before creams .
Hi! This product should be used as part of your evening skincare regimen. It should be applied after water-based serums but before any heavier treatments such as moisturisers etc.
