Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane
▪︎It is one among the popular Retinoid/Retinol products ▪︎Helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles ▪︎Clears Acne ▪︎Reduce pigmentation and dark spots ▪︎Smoothes skin texture ▪︎I apply this after my serum ▪︎I use this once or twice /week. As it has 2% ...

Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane

Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane
It is effective. Next morning my skin feels soft and plump. Also it moist deep into the skin thanks to the squalene
Maybe a little too greasy feeling. Especially in summer and in a humid weather like where I live. I dont mind using it before bed. But a more oily skin type person will not love it. My boyfriend cant stand using it even in the night
