    Bra retinol, bra pris!

    Gillar dennna retinol väldigt mycket, den gör sitt jobb och känns inte kletig eller obekväm på huden. #lykoreview

    Use around the eyes?

    Hi, can I use this on the eyelids and under the eyes as well, or is there another retinol product you recommend for the eye area? I already have regular moisturizing eye creams.

    First time serum

    Hi. I have never used any serum before, neither retinol or anything, so I am very uninformed 🥲 but should you start with this before retinol if I understand correctly? And can you use Nivea cream after using it?

      Hey Diana! Skincare can really be tricky, what to do and not do is a bit up to each person in their skincare routine of course 🥰 I really recommend trying our skin test via the LYKO app. That way you get tailored advice and tips on which products are right for you and your skin! There you can describe a bit what your goal is with the products! The ones who help you are trained and authorized skin therapists and pharmacists. You can go directly to the test via the link: lyko.com/sv/beauty-scan2 All the best now ❤

    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.

      Why doesn't it work? Niactil from Elixir was recommended to me instead of retinol from the skincare specialist

    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! 🌷

    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.

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.
