This lightweight, squalane-based serum from The Ordinary has a 5% concentration of an advanced retinoid active complex called Granactive Retinoid that visibly reduces signs of aging without causing irritation. This also targets the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Skin Type: Normal, Combination, Oily, Dry, Sensitive

Skin Concern: Acne, Anti-Aging, Brightening, Texture

How we use it:

We apply a small amount of this serum before oils and creams. We only use this at night and it is recommended to wear sunscreen during the day as retinoids can make the skin more UV-sensitive. Note that this should not be used with other products containing retinoids like retinol and retinoic acid.
