The Ordinary - Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

Granactive Retinoid is a next-generation retinoid active complex that is known for its effectiveness in improving multiple signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, without the irritation commonly associated with traditional retinoids. The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion contains a 2% concentration of Granactive Retinoid, along with other hydrating and soothing ingredients to help minimize irritation and maximize efficacy. This lightweight emulsion is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be used as part of your evening skincare routine.

How to Use:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

2. Apply Granactive Retinoid Emulsion: Dispense a small amount of the emulsion onto your fingertips. Gently massage the emulsion onto your face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area. Start with a pea-sized amount for the entire face, and adjust the amount as needed.

3. Massage: Use gentle, upward motions to massage the emulsion into your skin, ensuring even distribution and absorption.

4. Wait: Allow the emulsion to fully absorb into your skin before applying any additional skincare products. This usually takes a minute or two.

5. Moisturize (Optional): If desired, you can follow up with your regular moisturizer to lock in the hydration and further nourish your skin. Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type.

6. Sun Protection: Since retinoids can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, it's important to apply sunscreen during the daytime. Always finish your morning skincare routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun damage.

Frequency:

• The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion is recommended for evening use.
• Start by using the emulsion 2-3 times per week, and gradually increase the frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to the retinoid.
