Its magical ingredients

Retinol : It is pure vitamin A in the form of a cosmetic active ingredient. It is the best active ingredient to reverse photoaging. This is because, thanks to its low molecular weight, it manages to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

This super active has multiple benefits such as:

• Cell renewal: removes dead cells, revealing brighter layers of skin.
• Regulation of the skin's keratinization process: which is what makes it softer.
• Increases skin hydration and improves its texture.
• Visibly improves wrinkles and expression lines and delays their appearance thanks to its antioxidant properties.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - A fatty acid made from coconut and glycerin. A great choice for sensitive skin and oil-free applications. Provides a noticeably soft feel, exhibits excellent anti-oxidant properties, and is especially suited for sensitive skin and oily skin by providing a light, non-greasy lubricating barrier. Widely used as an emollient to soothe the skin.

Do it right with Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion

1. Apply a small amount at night as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments (oils and creams).
2. You can apply it around the eyes, but very lightly, as this skin is more delicate and sensitive.
3. Apply Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion two or three nights a week, depending on the tolerance of each skin.

Precautions

• DO NOT use with other retinoid treatments.
• Avoid unprotected sun exposure. Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids.
• Store in a cool, dry place, even the refrigerator is a good option.
• During pregnancy or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skin care products containing retinoids.
• Retinol may cause irritation, redness and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while the skin builds tolerance.
