Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

This is my first retinoid. I was so scared to start as I read it can cause irritation, purging. First of all, it is a lot of product and lasts looonnnng. I started using it twice a week and improving but still it just doesnt empty. It is a light formula, easy to apply. You can (and should) moisturize without any problems, it doesnt "slide". My combination skin is just sucking it in instantly. Has a weird smell which I personally like very much. The price is shamelessly low.

I do not like droppers!! Also the container is made of glass so every time is a mini-heartbreak when it slips as I live far away from the UK and last time shipping took a month. I recently got addicted to dr Dray and she told in a video that these granactive retinoids have little effect. I hope she is wrong 😂😂little chance for that. Anyways I will use this one but I'll update next Time.

Hi Ashweta, sorry for the latex Reply! No I didn't notice any irritation but I have to mention I was a goody-goody and started applying sloooowly. First once a week and then built IT up gradually. I am using a stronger retinal serum now and did notice some purging with that one!

Hi... I’d like to know if you experienced any irritation while using it. I recently started using it n experienced no irritation or sensations at all. Will it be okay to use it everyday?
