Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (30ml)

Clearance Item

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 aging than retinol without any of the irritation and drawbacks common with retinol. It is proven to soften fine lines, reduce pigmentation and dark spots and revitalise the skin, revealing a radiant dewy glow. For those looking who are using retinoids for the first time or those with sensitive skin seeking for a more moderate concentration can try Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane.

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 aging than retinol, retinyl palmitate and nearly all other forms of non-prescription retinoid. Although this product uses next-generation retinoid active technologies which have been shown to achieve better reduction in signs of ageing than retinol without irritation, it still can’t be compared directly with retinol itself, in terms of concentration, as they include a different retinoid molecule.

Notes:

1. When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.

2. 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.

Manufacturer's Directions: Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children. Refrigerate after opening.
