    Bra retinol, bra pris!

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

    Together with other products

    I really like this one but was thinking of broadening my use of Ordinary and trying more things. Can you use this one while also using Ordinary's argireline and/or matrixyl?

    Hi!

    I’m thinking about buying this and wondering if it also works against pigmentation spots? I’ve started to get an ugly “mustache” on my upper lip and have heard that retinal is good for that, but does it also work with retinoid? 🙄 I’m not very good at skincare and don’t know the difference between retinoid and retinal. 🙈

      Hi Lizette! 😊 Yes, retinoids can absolutely be a good option if you want to work on pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Both retinal and retinol belong to the vitamin A family and with regular use can help even out skin tone over time ✨ Working on pigmentation is, however, one of the more challenging areas in skincare and requires both patience and consistency. For the best possible results, it can be good to have a well-thought-out routine with, for example, serums and exfoliants, where ingredients like retinoids and vitamin C can be nice complements. The most important thing, however, is SPF 50 every day ☀️ Also try to avoid strong sun exposure as much as possible, since UV rays can make pigmentation more prominent. So yes – the product can definitely be worth trying, but have a little patience and give your skin time to get used to it ⏰ If you want more help with skincare or to find products that suit your skin, you are of course very welcome to contact our customer service, and we will help you further 💌 All the best!

    ✨✨✨

    I have been using COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream, and Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50 for about a month, and I already see a big difference! ✨ My skin feels hydrated, soft, and has gained a fantastic glow. I also notice that my skin looks calmer and more even. I am super happy with all three products and will definitely continue using them. Highly recommended! 🤍

    Serum pairing recommendation?

    Can you recommend a good water based serum to use underneath this to hydrate and prevent irritation? Ll

      Hello Erin! 👋 Absolutely! A great option is The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. It’s a lightweight serum that provides hydration and helps support the skin barrier, making it a perfect match underneath Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion to help minimize dryness and irritation 💧 lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-hyaluronic-acid-2-b5 Take care! 🩷

    Store in the refrigerator?

    Hi! ☺️ I saw on the packaging that this serum should be stored in the refrigerator. I've kept it in the fridge at home, but I wonder what happens if you don't keep it in the fridge? ☺️ It gets a bit difficult when, for example, you are traveling ✨😸

      Hi Åsa 😊 If the serum has ever been left out at room temperature, it doesn’t necessarily mean it has gone bad right away. What mainly can happen is that the active ingredient gradually loses some of its effectiveness faster than planned. If the product has been stored cool, dark, and not exposed to heat or direct sunlight, there’s usually no reason to worry, so it works just as well as with proper storage! Have a great day! 🌼 Please continue to store it in the fridge going forward to give the product the best possible shelf life and effect.

      Hello there Åsa! 👋 Yes, they work really well together. They complement each other nicely 🩷 Hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin and reduces the risk of dryness from the retinoid, while niacinamide helps to soothe the skin and balance sebum production 👌 A good way to use them is to apply hyaluronic acid first, then niacinamide, and finish with the retinoid in the evening. If you have sensitive skin, you can start by using the retinoid every other evening and see how your skin reacts! Don’t forget to use SPF during the day, as retinoids make the skin more sensitive to the sun 🌞 All the best!

    In what order do I combine retinoid and argireline

    Hi! I bought this and understood that I should follow my usual routine but insert this between essence and moisturizer. So cleansing - essence - retinoid - moisturizer (+spf), but I also use Argireline solution 10% from The Ordinary, where in the routine should I put it?😬

      Hello Sanna! 😊 The evening routine works best with cleansing, essence, then Argireline Solution 10% first (spot treat the areas you want to focus on), then let the serum absorb for at least 30 seconds before applying Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion and finishing with moisturizer ✨ In the morning, you can do cleansing, essence, Argireline, moisturizer, and SPF. Feel free to wait a little between each step so the products can absorb. This is a great routine to even out lines and get firmer skin! 💖

The OrdinaryGranactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30 ml

157 kr*
Free delivery option available from 300 kr, can be sent immediately
* Cannot be combined with discount codes.

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.
