Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane

product review positives
I have used this before and I am currently using my second bottle. I see that it's not for everyone because of the oily texture but I've find some ways to use it. I started using retinoids with this product cause this was the most gentle one and I never experienced any irritation whatsoever. I used it in the winter without anything else. I would wash my face with a gentle cleanser and then I'd use this straight up. I usually use 3 drops cause more than that can be too much. Yes, it doesn't really absorb -another texture problem from The Ordinary- however I noticed that patting your skin for around 5 minutes help and it seems more absorbed. I used it for 3 months and I've seen so much results in my acne that I was so surprised. It really helps with the acne scars, sebum production, brightening, acne, comedones, everything.
product review negatives
Texture is so oily and doesn't really absorb into the skin and you can only use it for 3 months after opening it.

It didn’t sting, however, i experiened surprising purging since i didn’t put on a moisturizer after using retinol (my fault) but right now I’m consistently using it for more than 10 days and there is no reaction anymore! Might try this retinoid once I emptied my bottle because I’m getting good results with the retinol one.
