Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane 30ml

A solution with 5% Granactive Retinoid. Stabile, water-free solution with 0.5% Vitamin A acid ester.

This water-free solution contains a 5% concentration of an advanced retinoid active complex ,called Granactive Retinoid, that has proven to yield better results against multiple signs of aging without causing the irritation that can sometimes occur with retinol. Granactive Retinoid, an active technology from Grant Industries, is a complex of soluble Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), an advanced form of retinoid, which in itself is an ester of A-acid which gives a better effect against the signs of aging than retinol, retinylpalmitate and almost all other forms of retinoid.

The Ordinary offers the following retinoid-formulations in their range:

Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)

Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No low-Irritation)

Retinol in Squalane 0.2% (low strength, moderate irritation) – is not in the Nordic range

Retinol in Squalane 0.5% (low strength, moderate irritation) – is not in the Nordic range

Retinol in Squalane 1% (low strength, moderate irritation) – is not in the Nordic range

The product uses next-generation retinoid technology that has been proven to give better results by reducing the visible signs of aging skin. This modern retinoid-complex should not be compared with retinol as they have different chemical structures and properties. If you want a retinol product, we suggest you check our Retinol products, it offers cheaper products that contain pure retinol. This is because many retinol technologies cost less than the next-generation counterparts, such as Granactive Retinoid.

Warning: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays. Protection against solar radiation is especially important when using retinoids. The product must not be used in combination with other retinoids (including retinol or A-acid ester). The product does not treat acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne in the first few weeks when using some form of retinoid, including the one used in this formula.

NOTE: During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you avoid skin care products that contain retinoids, such as

with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

Use:

Apply a small amount on face in the evening as part of your skin care routine for water-based serum,

but before night cream. Do not use in combination with other retinoid products. Avoid sun exposure. Keep product in a cool and dry place.
