The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane 30ml This highly stable, water-free, and potent solution contains pure retinol at 0.5%. This particular form of vitamin A has been proven to reduce fine lines, improve pigmentation issues, rejuvenate the skin, and make it look more fresh and youthful. Ingredients free from water and silicone, The Ordinary 0.5% Retinol in Squalane contains highly stable retinol, a component that can reduce the appearance of aging with impressive results. Retinol, a powerful form of vitamin A, promotes cell turnover, revealing healthier and smoother skin while also treating dark spots and challenging signs of aging — including softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness and peeling — but many feel that its important effects balance that. How to use: Apply a small amount to the face in the evening as part of your skincare routine, a few drops (two to three drops) on the face, and distribute with fingertips on the face and neck. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid sun exposure. Store in a cool, dry place. If irritation occurs, stop use and consult a doctor. Do not use on irritated skin. Patch test before use is recommended. Keep out of reach of children.
