Lovely feeling that quickly fades
Very pleasant on the skin and easy to work in. I use it in the evening, and the next morning I feel more hydrated than if I hadn't used it. But unfortunately, it doesn't do much more for me. The hydration feels only temporary, and I don't notice that it affects my large pores, does anything for my skin tone, or gives any extra glow (as others have written). I started using it 1-2 times a week but quickly went up to every evening in the week as I didn't notice any irritation at all, and now the bottle is almost empty, I think I might just need a slightly stronger variant, and I will try one with a different strength from TO. It annoys me a bit that you have to keep the bottle in the fridge, I wish it had said that here in the description. I'm just way too lazy in my skincare routine to be the one who buys things I need to fetch from the kitchen..Translated from swedish

Retinol?
What is this % if you convert it to retinol?Translated from swedish
502 views- Customer service at Lyko1 weekHey Melinda! 👋😊 Oh, it's very hard to answer since it's a milder variant and doesn't contain pure retinol, but I would say it's very mild and I would estimate it to be under 0.5% 🙌 Take care! 🥰1 likes

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.Translated from swedish

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?Translated from swedish

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 likes1187 views- Customer service at Lyko1 monthHi 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
1719 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHey 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?Translated from swedish
1770 views- Customer service at Lyko2 monthsHey! 👋😀 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

117 reviews, 4 on average
Free delivery option available from 300 kr, can be sent immediately
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.
