The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane - 30ml

Who’s It For

This serum is ideal for people who want to target signs of aging, texture issues, congestion, and uneven tone but need a gentler option than prescription retinoids.

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Clear congestion or clogged pores
• Minimise breakouts and surface irregularities

Introduction

The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane is a high‑strength retinoid serum that uses an advanced retinoid complex to deliver results with reduced irritation compared with classic retinol. The 5% concentration makes it one of the stronger options in The Ordinary’s range, helping to accelerate cell turnover, smooth texture, and support a more even, youthful complexion.

Its lightweight squalane base also helps to boost moisturisation and comfort, so it feels less drying or irritating than many retinoids.

Think of it as a powerful anti‑aging and texture‑refining serum that’s robust in performance but kind on skin.

• High‑strength Granactive Retinoid (5%) – advanced retinoid complex that targets aging and texture
• Squalane base – supports hydration and reduces irritation
• Improves fine lines, uneven tone and texture
• Non‑acidic, non‑retinol formula – smoother tolerance for many users
• Lightweight, serum‑like feel – easy to layer under moisturiser

How to Use

• Apply once daily in the evening after cleansing (and toning if you use one)
• Use a few drops on face and neck
• Follow with a moisturiser
• Use sunscreen every morning — retinoids increase sun sensitivity
