The manufacturer tested their product, stating that after 14 days of applying HPR around the eyes twice a day, fine lines and wrinkles were visibly reduced.Unlike Retinoic Acid (Tretinoin), this doesn’t have irritation.
#THE ORDINARY GRANACTIVE RETINOID 2 EMULSION BEAUTYLISH SKIN#
HPR binds with Retinoid Receptors in the skin cells and does not need to be converted in the cells in order to be used (unlike retinol).This contains 2% Granactive Retinoid = 0.2%.The good news is, even at higher %, this doesn’t seem to irritate the skin nearly as badly. This is a Derivative – it’s a gentler ingredient but also less effective/strong + requires a higher % to get good results.Tretinoin is the Gold-standard/Gold Star Ingredient. Granactive Retinoid is ”HPR” (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate) – It is part of the Retinoid Family.INFORMATION ON GRANACTIVE RETINOID + WHAT IS IT + MY THOUGHTS: Of course I always used an SPF in the morning. Due to my Oily-Combo Skin, I used this as a Moisturiser when the weather was hot (Still not the most comfortable to use during the hot/humid months due to the emollient texture of this), and as a step before my Moisturiser during colder evenings.

I do think Dry Skins would prefer this over oily skins due to the Emulsion (Almost Oily) texture of this product. What I think: I would agree! This didn’t irritate my skin so I do think Sensitive Skins could use this (my skin is quite reactive and easily stings when it comes to using retinol). Supposedly Good for: All Skin Types (Including Sensitive Skins) But I like how Retinol is still included in here (I’m guessing just to be able to state that this emulsion is anti-ageing). HPR is supposedly (although needs to be proven in human trials – more on that down below) better at providing anti-ageing results than retinol + retinyl palmitate. This emulsion is meant to provide anti-ageing benefits without the irritation that Tretinoin / High % Retinol produces.īrand Description: The 2% Concentration of Granactive Retinoid™ (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) + Pure Retinol in a capsule system which delivers both ingredients into the skin.
