While Retinol has been studied extensively, it can be irritating to the skin for first-time users and requires a build-up of skin tolerance. For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% for first-time users. This formula also offers hydrating benefits due to the presence of Squalane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Ordinary's portfolio of retinoids includes the following formulations:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, No Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane (High Strength, No to Low Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetinol 0.2% in Squalane (Low Strength, Moderate Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetinol 0.5% in Squalane (Moderate Strength, High Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetinol 1% in Squalane (High Strength, Very High Irritation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood to know: When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to use: Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments.
