    The Ordinary/Cosrx

    Hi, I have 2 questions. 1. I have been using The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane for a while now and see that you no longer have it in stock, can I instead switch to The Ordinary retinol 1% in squalane? 2. Can I use Cosrx products at the same time as products from The Ordinary? Best regards Lovely

      Hey Lovely😊 You can absolutely switch to The Ordinary Retinol 1% in Squalane, but it's good to keep in mind that it's more potent than Granactive Retinoid. If you want to make the transition smoother, you can start with Retinol 0.5% a few nights a week before moving up to 1%. Be cautious regardless. You can combine COSRX and The Ordinary! Just make sure to avoid strong exfoliating acids/active ingredients on the same night you use retinoids to minimize the risk of irritation. Always patch test the combination of new products with your existing ones (that you plan to use in the same routine) on a small area first and see how your skin feels. Also, don't forget to properly moisturize your skin when using active ingredients and to always use sunscreen during the day🌞 Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day💫

    Hi I have been using Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion for over 6 months and now want to take it up a notch with a stronger Retinoid. Does Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane work as the next step, or what do you recommend? Thanks for the help! Best regards

      Hello! Yes, I absolutely think you can try Retinoid 5% in Squalane. It contains Squalane, which is a great moisturizing ingredient but also helps to reduce irritation 💖 Wishing you a lovely day! ✨
