If you like we can let you know when we have some more.

This water-free solution contains 1% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the appearances of fine lines, of photo damage and of general skin ageing.

While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin and newer technologies exist that mimic the visible effects of Retinol without causing skin irritation.

For this reason, we generally recommend using Granactive Retinoid 2% or Granactive Retinoid 5% instead of this formula.

Water-free, alcohol-free, nut-free, vegan, gluten-free.

Directions

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.

Squalane, Caprylic/Capric, Triglyceride, Simmondsia, Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Retinol, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Hydroxymethoxphenyl Decanone, BHT.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product! I'm very satisfied! Feels great on my skin and helps with wrinkles. It's not too harsh for my skin, doesn't make my skin burn and I'm able to even put it under my eyes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product Awesome product at a great price. For everyone saying it irritated their skin or caused burning, it's retinol, and a decent concentration. That's what retinol does/can do as your skin gets used to it. It increases cell turn over. Try using a lower percentage , use every other night and work your way up, especially if you have sensitive skin. Also, keep it away from the super sensitive skin on your face, like your under eyes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from I was so hopeful now I am just disappointed I am so disappointed this has not helped with wrinkles or dark spots. It feels nice on the skin which is good but I want my product to ALSO do what it claims to improve. And it has not. I have given it enough time as well, just finishing my second bottle. So now I am on the hunt to find an effective product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Time to move up to 1% I have gone through 2 of the .5% retinol bottles and am now ready to increase the potency. I have read a few reviews that made me want to write my own. Retinol products are strong. They have the power to change your skin. I use a variety of skin care products and alternate between The Ordinary vitamin C with HA beads and a prescription tretinoin cream at night, followed by a night cream to prevent that dry feeling. During the day I usually use The Ordinary .5 serum but now I am ippibg the potency to the 1% serum. I live hiw it gludes on and that I can apply concealer over tge top of it. Once in a while I use The Ordinary peeling solution. It takes a few days before I see my skin start to slough off, and then I buff it with a mild cleanser. I do not use these products every single day and night. Sometimes I just wash and moisturize. About 4-5 times a week feels like plenty and keeps my skin looking good. I am currently in my 70th revolution around the sun. I worshipped the sun in my youth, and am so thankful for these products that help to undo the sun’s damage. The Ordinary has wonderful serums and solutions, just ease into them if you’re prone to sensitivity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good, which is surprising! Honestly, I've only been using this for a few days, but can already see a difference in my skin. I'm 35 and decided it was time to use something...anything on my skin (I'm the type that only uses water to wash their face). After some research I decided on hyluronic acid during the day, and this at night. I'm also a total dummy and didn't read about working your way up to the 1% retinol ;) Anyhoo! I have very sensitive yet oily skin and this only irritated it ONE time when I very sleepily put entirely too much on. Even then it simply felt like a slight, tingly burning sensation, which sensitive skinned people tend to be accustomed to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Product! Keep me smooth and plump I have been using this product for years, easily have gone through 10+ bottles of the 1% retinol. My skin is not sensitive to it as I have been using such a product for so long, so I would say start weaker and don't jump into this product. Its so silky and i love slathering this on my face, I feel horrible without this touching my skin at night. I love how emollient and oil-y it is; I live in a dry climate and I feel like it counteracts any drying aspects of retinol, even though it does not dry my skin out.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible Burned my skin, If i can give 0 starts and go back to how my skin was I would never touch this trash again. It made my under eyes dry and wrinkly and burned, this is honestly the worst product I’ve ever used. I would rather use Ross face products and this cramp.

Can this be used under the eyes? Also for people who usually buy this, do you know how long it usually takes to be restocked?

Asked by: serish
 No I wouldn’t use around the eyes. Says not to on bottle. Not sure when it’s restocked
