    Max glow🌅

    A super retinol serum for beginners! Causes no irritation, only results! It evens out skin tone, minimizes pores and pimples, reduces scars, and gives a completely amazing glow✨ #lykoreview

    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.

    Shelf Life

    Hi, Why is the shelf life only 3 months? What happens to the product after those 3 months?

      Hi 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! 🌷

      Hi Lotta! I do not recommend using active ingredients like retinoids and acids during pregnancy 💗 Take care!

    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 😅

      Hey Sanna 😊👋 Yes, if you want to take the next step in your retinol journey, this one from The Ordinary could be a good option 🥰 Just remember to introduce the new product gradually. All the best!

  • 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?

      Hey! 👋😀 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! 🥰✨

    Good for pimples

    Dab this on blemishes and pimples, I think it speeds up healing. I apply it in the evening and often notice improvement by the morning.

    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”?

      Hey 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! ✨

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.
