The Ordinary, Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane, 30ml, vitamin A face serum

This face serum by The Ordinary is formulated with 2% retinoid that is known for its strong anti-aging effect. This cosmetic is able to reduce fine lines, improve skin resilience and erase pigmentation spots. Apart from retinoid, the serum also contains vitamin C that is responsible for making skin texture even, brighter and youthful-looking. It is worth pointing out that this version of face serum by The Ordinary combines two forms of retinoids. The first one, granactive retinoids – advanced yet synthetic and not fully stable form of retinoids – deal with the signs of ageing. The second form is pure retinol that delivers the effects slowly and systematically for a prolonged period of time, yet sadly its concentration in this serum is really low.

The undisputed advantage of Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane is that this serum is lightweight and that the retinoid forms incorporated into the product are really gentle to skin. On the other hand, since being gentle, the retinoids will not give you immediate effects. This means that you have to be patient if you want to improve your skin appearance with this face serum.
