About

Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane is a light, oil-like serum that targets visible signs of aging through a highly-advanced retinoid active, one of the best all-around ingredients for skin.

This next-generation retinoid improves the look of fine lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin while evening the appearance of skin texture and tone. It’s further supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in the skin. That means it not only delivers comparable visible results to retinol, it’s less likely to cause irritation. 

Note:

  • Sun Sensitivity: Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids.
  • Product Pairing: This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids, including retinol or retinoic acid. This product is not a treatment for acne.
  • When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.
  • Storage: Once opened, this formulation should be refrigerated and used within a three-month period.
