If you're new to using retinoid, start by using it on alternate nights first.Ī must have skincare product in my skincare routine.

During the first few uses i did experience a little stinging but its normal. Example of correct usage would be, use Retinoid at night and Azelaic Acid in the morning. If you want to combat acne, you may want to add Azelaic Acid in your routine too. This product unclog the pores and speed up cell turnover.
THE ORDINARY GRANACTIVE RETINOID 2 EMULSION 30ML SKIN
I could tell the difference in my skin texture. I could see the difference a week after using this. And in the morning i use Azelaic Acid after cleansing face. I use this every night before sleep after cleansing my face. And yes, this is one of the products i use. After suffering from severe acne for 7 years i finally found a few products that put my acne to bed. I only felt the effects when I was using it around 2-3 times a week, so I think it's really important give your skin time to adjust and time for the retinoid to do its thing! My skin did take a while to adjust when I first started using it (not flaky dryness, but it would itch a little) and every subsequent time I increased the frequency. Started off with using it once a week for a month before ramping it up to twice a week and now almost every alternate day. Was a big game changer for me and I got a lot of compliments on my skin around 2-3 months into using this. Very nice! I have sensitive oily dehydrated and acne prone skin, and this has helped reduce congestion and with my overall skin texture. I was afraid it might cause breakout, but it has been great so far Granactive Retinoid 2 Emulsion from The Ordinary is an emulsion which contains a 2 concentration of an advanced retinoid active complex called Granactive. So far, been using it for a month and have not had any dryness or bad reaction. This product made my skin feel really good and tight in the morning! I used just a pea sized (2 drops) amount on my entire face at night over a thin layer of my cerave moisturiser and under a thicker layer of it (like a sandwich).
