The Ordinary: Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane is a potent retinoid serum designed for those seeking to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and enhance skin tone. Suitable for all skin types, especially for sensitive skin, it offers a gentle yet effective retinoid experience within a nourishing squalane base.
Key Benefits:

Important ingredients include Granactive Retinoid 5%, a stable and effective derivative of retinoic acid that promotes cell turnover, and squalane, which deeply hydrates and maintains skin moisture. Together, they deliver anti-aging benefits while supporting skin barrier health.
It has a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly, leaving a velvety finish without residue. Ideal for nightly use to enhance skin renewal and clarity.
Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the evening. Follow with moisturizer as needed. Use sunscreen during the day, as retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
