Hi! My mom has been using this for a year but doesn't feel any direct results anymore. Is the next step to start using Retinol 0.5% instead of this? And should she use the snail serum before or after retinol? Thanks in advance!! 😊🤖238 views- Customer service at Lyko1 weekHey Thessss The next step up in strength is Retinol 1% in Squalane, but since Retinol has a higher irritation, I would recommend Retinal 0.2% instead. The Retinal is not quite as strong as the Retinol, but still a step up from retinoid 5% lyko.com/sv/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-retinal-02--emulsion-15-ml Here you see a summary of the effects from The Ordinary's various Vitamin A serums Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Moderate strength, no irritation) Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High strength, no or slight irritation) Retinol 0.2% in Squalane (Low strength, Moderate irritation) Retinol 0.5% in Squalane (Moderate strength, High irritation) Retinol 1% in Squalane (High strength, Very high irritation) Take care! ✨

Next step
Hi I have been using Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion for over 6 months and now want to take it up a notch with a stronger Retinoid. Does Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane work as the next step, or what do you recommend? Thanks for the help! Best regards820 views- Customer service at Lyko1 monthHello! Yes, I absolutely think you can try Retinoid 5% in Squalane. It contains Squalane, which is a great moisturizing ingredient but also helps to reduce irritation 💖 Wishing you a lovely day! ✨1 likes

Retinol
I am a 39-year-old man and I am going to start using retinol because it is good for pores and wrinkles. Which retinol should I start with? I want to start with the one that is not the weakest, can I start with the second strongest? Which one is it?1080 viewsto leave a comment - 2 months
Similar product in the same price range but cream
Hi! I wonder if there is a similar product to this but in cream instead of oil? I think it gets a bit messy with this one, but I like it otherwise. :) Thanks / issy1102 views- 2 monthsThanks for the reply. Okay... Regarding the first one from Geek & Gorgeous, is it as gentle on the skin as the retinoid from The Ordinary?1 likes

Is it okay to use around the eyes?
Hi! I'm using Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 2% today, but I've never dared to use it around the eyes since I thought it was a big no-no! Is it okay to use it around the eyes & also this stronger variant? Thanks in advance!1134 views- Customer service at Lyko3 monthsHello there! They are really such a beautiful product 😍 But I wouldn't recommend using it around the eyes as it is too harsh for our sensitive eyes 💖 Instead, you could use this gem 👇 lyko.com/sv/the-inkey-list/the-inkey-list-retinol-eye-cream-15-ml?fromsearch=3498-112-0015 Take care!1 likes

Retinol är bästa ingrediensen enligt mig, och skulle alltid föredra just denna innan någon annan produkt.106 viewsto leave a comment - 2 yearsverified customer

Been using this for months.I see a slight improvement in my skin, but it's not obvious or long-lasting. I will continue using it, though. #tävling106 viewsto leave a comment
The OrdinaryRetinoidsGranactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane 30 ml
Highly-Stable, Water-Free Solution of 0.5% Ester of All-Trans Retinoic Acid.
Highly-Stable, Water-Free Solution of 0.5% Ester of All-Trans Retinoic Acid
This water-free solution contains a 5% concentration of an advanced retinoid active complex called Granactive Retinoid that has been shown to offer better results against multiple signs of ageing than retinol without any of the irritation and drawbacks common with retinol. Granactive Retinoid, an active technology from Grant Industries, is a solubilized system of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, 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.
This product uses next-generation retinoid active technologies which have been shown to achieve better reduction in signs of ageing than retinol without irritation. These technologies cannot be compared directly with retinol itself in terms of concentration because they include a different retinoid molecule, in a similar way that Retinol cannot be compared with Retinoic Acid in terms of concentration. If you have interest in a retinol product, please refer to our Retinol portfolio above which products contain pure retinol and cost less since many retinol technologies cost less than their next-generation counterparts like Granactive Retinoid.
Caution: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids. This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation. Note: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.
Use:
Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
