Emulsion is way better than any serum! Good for sensitive skin

The media could not be loaded. I can’t stop talking about this product- I’ve been using The Ordinary Gran Active Retinoid 2% Emulsion for some time now and it has quickly become a standout product in my skincare routine. Unlike their usual serum formulations, this is a lightweight emulsion that feels gentle on the skin but packs a powerful punch. This retinoid emulsion delivers a strong, effective dose of active retinoid (Gran Active Retinoid, a next-gen retinoid) equivalent to retinal in performance but with a more skin-friendly profile.Despite having sensitive skin, I’ve had minimal irritation or redness, which is often a concern with retinoids. The emulsion texture really helps with tolerance and hydration- I find it so much more moisturising but not comedogenic. I’ve done a lot of research on ingredients and formulations, and this product truly lives up to the claims of being as effective as retinal, making it an excellent alternative for those who want results without harsh side effects. The emulsion is light, easily absorbed, and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue. It layers beautifully under moisturizers and sunscreens. It’s different from The Ordinary’s serum textures so if you prefer something less heavy but still want the benefits of a strong retinoid, this is perfect. After consistent use, my skin looks smoother, more even-toned, and has a noticeable glow. It also helps with fine lines and overall texture without the usual dryness or peeling I experienced with other retinoids. This product is a great option for anyone, especially those with sensitive or reactive skin, who want to upgrade their retinoid game. I highly recommend it.No fragrance or smell which I love- indicates simplicity and always makes me breakout which this se mulakon does not do- I think I have found my favourite serum ever!

Good product

Fast shipping, great product. My face is much smoother and more hydrated. I dunno if it makes a lasting difference like my hylauronic acid cream does, but unlike the hylauronic acid it doesn't sting and at all, glides on smoothly, and feels really nice on my skin. I do wish it had more of the active ingredient, though. 2% is just too low to do anything significant to reverse sun damage and signs of aging. That's probably why it doesn't sting when applied. Still, great hydration!

Definately works.

I looked into the chemistry and biology behind this product before purchasing, all is based on legitimate researh, as opposed to all the very expensive snake oil other products. The retinol is the active ingredient, everything else is pretty much fluff.I calibrated against my face using a laser 3d scanner before use and have been using for a year now, with a net reduction of 0.05 mm in reduction of fine line wrinkles, wrinkles more than .4mm in depth are largely unaffected.Unfortunately the price of this product has almost doubled in 6 months, unjustifiable for a very cheap chemical to produce. I therefore will be ordering a different retinol product in future.

Amazing, calmed angry acne down in one use.

Only used it once (last night). Ordered more of Thier products off the main website which should come today. I've had bad acne that flared up and wouldn't go down, it just kept spreading. I put this on last night and ready the angry red lumps have flattened and nothing has popped up when I woke up like it had been for theast five weeks.I didn't expect this to touch my acne at all. I'm 30 years old and since having my son four years ago, my skin is doing some strange things and already I have high hopes this brand will help me. A difference and a huge one at that in just one use.Would recommend.

I received an old bottle

The product itself is good, I purchased it more than once, yet the last time I was sent an expired product, completely rancid.

Has made a noticeable difference over time at a very reasonable price

Absolutely love this product. Been using it for a few months now and have had lots of people ask recently what I’ve had done to make my complexion more radiant. Im in my 40s and still have quite bad hormonal breakouts. Plus doing night shift work has had its effect on my face. I have very sensitive skin and I was very dubious about trying this product. After lots of research and a patch test I went ahead and starting using this product. The first week I had a couple of minor breakouts and only used it every other night after cleaning, before bed. I read that retinol takes some time to have any noticeable affects and that your skin needs time to get accustomed. Start on a low percentage and build up to a stronger concentration.I have to say I’m impressed. It’s not a 24 hr miracle serum but after some months of use people are actually noticing a difference and asking what use or what I’ve had done.I will continue to use and will definitely purchase more.

Made my skin worse

I was a little suspicious of this product when it arrived as it didn't come in the original packaging and arrived wrapped in bubble wrap inside an envelope. It also had stickers covering the original bottle. However the formulas appeared to be very similar to a bottle I already had open so I gave it a go. I use this product to treat acne which had worked well for 2 years but this bottle made my skin worse. I broke out in the worst acne I have had for years so I'm not sure if this is a genuine product and I have stopped using it. I bought another bottle from my usual site and my acne has now cleared up again. I would be interested to hear what the sellers explanation is for there not being original packaging as it seems the same has happened to other buyers. I definitely do not recommend buying this product from this seller.

Amazing

This product is amazing .. Iv bin using a derma roller then applying this serum my skin has peeled really quickly and looks so healthy .. obviously the derma has helped by piecing the skin allowing this serum to work faster .... but even on its own it peels skin and really works .. it’s better than pure retin a because it’s not so drying .. def helps with wrinkles and marks on your skin
