Use The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion as part of your skincare routine to combat signs of aging as well as acne. This emulsion contains two powerful retinoids for double the protection. Granactive Retinoid helps to regenerate skin elasticity, plumpness and provide hydration for a radiant complexion. It also stimulates the skin cells, which can thicken skin that has become thin through aging, and give a more youthful appearance while protecting skin against new wrinkles developing. One of the important properties of Granactive Retinoid is that it provides the dynamic anti-aging benefits of retinol, without the skin irritation often associated with it. Use the emulsion in the evening as part of your skincare routine. Add a few drops to the face (avoiding eyes), and gently massage in. Do not use with any other retinoid treatments, and ensure you use sun protection during the day as retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. This product is not an acne treatment, and those with acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in breakouts when using retinoids.
