“I love this product!”
“I had previously used the retinoid emulsion and the 5% granactive retinoid in squalane and although the published research behind the granactive retinoid is promising, I was eventually won over by the decades of research backing the retinol (1% retinol ≈ 0.05% retinoic acid).”
“I was worried about irritation but I have tolerated it much better than I expected. I had some slight irritation the first week but after that I have only had a little dryness.”
“I am very fond of squalene and love it as a vehicle for the retinol. I read some complaints about it not absorbing very well, but while I wouldn’t lie cheek-down on my pillow immediately after application, I have found that with a moisturizer on top, it absorbs very well within half an hour.”
“It is completely odorless, as opposed to the granactive retinoid 5% in squalene, which has a slightly unappealing smell which can linger on your skin. Furthermore, the granactive retinoid 5% in squalene would leave a slightly yellow mark on my pillowcase (possibly because of a higher tomato fruit extract content), while the retinol 1% in squalane does not.”

HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected solar exposure. Store in a cool, dry place.
Caution: 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.
