About this deal

Retinoids have been studied extensively, and the results are in: they work to reduce the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to their ability to stimulate collagen production and increase cell turnover. The final and most potent Granactive Retinoid in The Ordinary catalog of retinoids is The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane. Fortunately, squalane, the plant-derived version of squalene, comes to the rescue. It helps replenish the skin’s protective barrier and promotes skin health. Increases skin hydration

Acne –Prescription retinoids like Retin-A are FDA approved to treat acne. All retinoids can help treat and prevent acne by speeding up cell turnover and unclogging pores. First-timers and those with sensitive skin may wish to try a gentler retinyl ester – look for retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate and retinyl linoleate in the ingredients list. What is the best retinol for beginners? These other actives can be used in your AM skincare routine, and retinol can be used at night. Or use them on different days. if you’re new to retinoids, it’s best to start with a lower concentration of Granactive Retinoids, so see how your skin responds, and increase usage until your skin can tolerate the stronger 5% concentration.

Less side effects– Even though granactive retinoids are very strong and effective, they have less side effects than retinoids with similar strengths. So granactive retinoid is less irritating than tretinoin or Retin-A. Which is huge because they can cause lots of side effects like dryness, redness, flaking and lots of irritation. So with granactive retinoid, you’re getting all the benefits of a prescription strength retinoid with less side effects!

Retinaldehyde must be converted to retinoic acid before our skin can use it. This conversion dilutes the strength of the retinoid active.
