The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, 30ml

Retinoids are a class of compounds derived from Vitamin A that target signs of ageing and textural irregularities. This creamy and hydrating formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoid actives:

• A 2% concentration of Granactive Retinoid, which is a complex of solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). HPR is a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers similar visible results as topical retinol, without the irritation associated with retinoids (including retinol)
• A sustained-delivery form of retinol in a protective capsule system which supports both the delivery and the effect of Granactive Retinoid

These technologies cannot be compared directly with retinol itself in terms of concentration because they include a different retinoid molecule, in a similar way that Retinol cannot be compared with Retinoic Acid in terms of concentration.

The Ordinary's extended portfolio of retinoids includes the following formulations:

• Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)
• Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)
• Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No to Low Irritation)
• Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (Low Strength, Moderate Irritation)
• Retinol 0.5% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, High Irritation)
• Retinol 1% in Squalane (High Strength, Very High Irritation)
