Bra retinol, bra pris!
Gillar dennna retinol väldigt mycket, den gör sitt jobb och känns inte kletig eller obekväm på huden. #lykoreview7964 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 4 out of 5verified customer

Hey! I've been using this for a few months now and I'm wondering if I should keep ordering this or advance and buy a stronger retinol product, which would you recommend in that case? And can you use Beauty of Joesons eye retinol in combination with this or a similar one? ☀️443 views- The user's roll: Skin therapist at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHey Siri! It's hard to say outright since I don't know anything about your skin. There's nothing that says you have to increase with something stronger, and that it would automatically give better results, but the best retinoid is the one you can use every night without problems. It's fine to have BOJ around the eyes as long as you don't overlap when applying, but are a bit more careful. If you wish to develop your routine, feel free to take our skin test in the app under Beauty Scan 💌 Wishing you a nice Friday 🌸2 likes

Lovely
I tried a retinol before and my skin didn't like it at all. I read up and learned that retinoid could work better, so I tried this one. The product itself: 🤲 I like the thicker consistency, easier to handle and doesn't run between my fingers. 🤏 Economical and good, only needs one pipette tube at a time. 👃 Smells strange, but not bad (matter of taste). Usage: ☝️ Once a week for a month. ✌️ Twice a week for about 3-4 months before it got too bright outside to use. Results: ✅️ The stubborn cystic pimples I had left from my hormonal issues disappeared. ✅️ I experienced that my skin tone and skin were evened out/fine lines disappeared.1843 views - The post was made 3 months
Retinol
How much retinol does this contain?1687 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsHey Monika! 👋💛 What a great question! It’s a bit tricky to give an exact answer since the product contains a milder form of retinoid – not pure retinol. But approximately, the strength corresponds to just under 0.5 %, which makes it really gentle on the skin 💛✨ Perfect for you if you want to start easing your skin in a gentle way! Hope that helps – have a radiant day! 🌞

Breastfeeding
Hi! Can you use this product while breastfeeding?🥹1575 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 3 monthsHi Ingri🥰 We do not recommend the use of retinoid products during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precaution – despite the product being milder than retinol. There is limited research on the safety of topical retinoids during breastfeeding, so many manufacturers and professionals recommend being cautious. Wishing you a super day!💗

Good start
I am 44 years old and have been careful with skincare for 15 years. I started with Paula's choice, but switched to Filorga as I got older. Filorga has been really good at keeping my skin younger than I am. But I suddenly became allergic to perfume. I had to stop abruptly and switch to fragrance-free and gentler skincare (Sensibio). Unfortunately, I quickly got new wrinkles. I searched around and thought I would try TO, which has active ingredients but is fragrance-free, and it went well! Luckily, it was only the perfume I reacted to. I have cautiously tested to avoid a new reaction, but I have actually tolerated the serums I have tested, so I decided to try this retinol in beginner form ☺️ I phased it in over a couple of weeks and then got nice results. The new wrinkles that had appeared have decreased to finer lines. I used it together with (fantastic!!) caffeine drops and the hyaluronic acid from TO. I use Sensibio moisturizer over it since I don't like TO's Moisturizing factor. However, I got quite a few sunspots when I was in the sun, despite 30 SPF! So I have now switched to GF solution this summer, which is almost as good. I plan to try a bit stronger retinol eventually. (My husband wanted to be in the picture 😉)1845 views - The post was made 5 months
Hi!
I have this product from The Ordinary as well as niacinamide from The Ordinary, glycolic acid from The Ordinary, Clinsoothe Skin Purifier, and Lait Crème Concentré Multi Fonctions from Embryolisse. In what order and when should I use these, evening, day?2607 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 5 monthsHey Lisa 😊👋 🌞 MORNING ROUTINE Clinisoothe Skin Purifier – Antibacterial mist, soothes the skin. Spray directly after cleansing. The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% – Apply a thin layer. Good for pores, oil control, pigmentation, and redness. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré – Moisturizing and protective cream. SPF (if you are outside) – Important to finish with sunscreen every morning, especially if you use retinoid or acid in the evening. 🌙 EVENING ROUTINE (alternate between different evenings) ✨ ALTERNATE LIKE THIS: 🧪 1–2 evenings/week: Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (Acid exfoliation – do not use with retinoid the same evening) Cleansing Clinisoothe Glycolic Acid (on dry skin with cotton pad, avoid eyes/nose wings) Wait a few minutes Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré 🌙 2–3 evenings/week: Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Mild retinoids, not together with acids) Cleansing Clinisoothe Retinoid Niacinamide (optional – can be combined with retinoid if the skin tolerates it) Embryolisse Good luck and all the best 🤍2 likes

Love!
Have had this several times. Started using retinol when I struggled a lot with acne, but what I tried was too strong or my skin didn't like them until I found this. After the first time I used it, I saw a big difference the next day. It's absolutely amazing!!2399 views - The post was made 6 monthsRating: 3 out of 5verified customer
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..2605 views - The post was made 6 months
Retinol?
What is this % if you convert it to retinol?2672 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 6 monthsHey 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
The OrdinaryGranactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion 30 ml
157 kr*
Free delivery option available from 200 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.
