Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

I wanted a retinoid product that is not oily, as I find the other retinoids from The Ordinary in squalane too long to absorb. This emulsion is not oily at all and absorbs very quickly. No irritation at all, which is normal for retinoid (vs retinol).

Unfortunately only retinoid 2% exist in emulsion, the 5% is in squalane only. I feel that it is not strong enough.

Retinoid is gentler than retinol so is ok for sensitive skin (although mine is not sensitive). It helps with wrinkles and black heads, so good for combination skin and oily skin. Not sure about dry skin but great for wrinkles so can just add moisturizer after?
