Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

This product was a LIFESAVER for my hormonal acne—I had never used a retinoid before and this was effective and also incredibly gentle with my sensitive and dry skin. Even after 3 years, this is still an integral part of my skin care routine. If you’re looking to delve into the world of retinoids, retinol, etc., this is definitely a great product to start with!

Not much! It can be slightly drying at first, but nothing a nice moisturizer can’t help with.

I would apply this after essences and any water-based serums (like hyaluronic acids, etc.). Make sure you follow up with a nice moisturizer and facial oil, because this can cause some dryness! 🤗
