Mixing serums
I have ordered this retinol, but I use niacinamide from byoma in my evening routine where I also planned to use this retinol. The serum from byoma contains Tri-Ceramide Complex (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids), niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. And a moisturizing serum from byoma in my morning routine. It contains Tri-Ceramide Complex (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids), squalane, and glycerin. Can I continue using these with this retinol? ❤️ I also use the o.d hyaluronic acid in the evening routine after the retinol and before the moisturizer.Translated from swedish

Shelf Life
Hi, Why is the shelf life only 3 months? What happens to the product after those 3 months?1 likes205 views- Customer service at Lyko1 dayHi Suvi, thanks for your question! 💗 Retinol doesn't store well because it's sensitive to light, oxygen, and temperature changes that can spoil it and reduce its effectiveness. 😊 A properly stored product lasts for 3 months, and during that time, the product should be used up. Have a nice Tuesday! 🌷1 likes

Which retinol?
Hi! I have been using Cerave’s resurfacing retinol for 1.5 years. I have perceived it as very mild. What is the next step? Is this one I should switch to or another? I am 26 years old by the way, if that matters 😅Translated from swedish

What order
Hi, I just ordered this, but I'm wondering how to use it in my skincare routine? Right now I'm using toner and face cream after washing, should this go on before or after either of them?Translated from swedish
1101 views- Customer service at Lyko1 monthHey! 👋😀 Then you can check out this order 👇 Cleansing 🧼 Toner (if it’s hydrating) Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (a few drops, massage in) Face cream 🧴 (locks in moisture) Use only in the evening, as retinoids make the skin more sensitive to the sun. SPF during the day is a must to protect the skin. Start using it 2-3 times a week and gradually increase if your skin tolerates it. Hope that helps! 🥰✨2 likes

What is the next step?
Hi! I have been using this for a few months now and I’m wondering which one I should go for next. Should I buy the same but in 5%, so ”Granactive Retinoid 5%” or should I buy ”Retinol 0.2% in Squalane”?Translated from swedish
1 likes936 views- Customer service at Lyko1 monthHey Vera! I would recommend Granactive Retinoid 5% as the next step. Make sure to acclimate your skin to the new strength and start with 1 night a week and slowly increase to more nights 😍 Good luck and take care! ✨1 likes

closed comedones?
Hey, does this help with closed comedones?Translated from swedish
1284 views- Customer service at Lyko1 monthHello! Absolutely, retinol helps with clogged comedones. But I recommend instead feeling or a salicylic acid that exfoliates ☺️ Here you have tips 👇 lyko.com/sv/dermalogica/dermalogica-daily-microfoliant-13g lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-direct-acids-salicylic-acid-2--solution-30-ml Good luck and take care! ✨1 likes

The OrdinaryRetinoidsGranactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30 ml
A Stable Emulsion of Next-Generation Forms of Retinoid.
This formulation combines two forms of next-generation retinoid actives in a combined concentration of 2% by weight.
These two actives are:
a) Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a highly-advanced form of retinoid which is, in fact, a non-prescription ester of all-trans direct retinoic acid that offers a multi-fold better effect against signs of ageing than retinol, retinyl palmitate and nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid;
b) a sustained-delivery form of pure retinol in a protective capsule system which supports both the delivery and the effect of Solubilized Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate.
Both forms of retinoid used avoid the irritation associated with retinoid (including retinol) use while delivering better visible results against signs of ageing.
Use:
Apply a few drops to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Use sun protection in the AM.
