Comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a dropper.An affordable face oil compared to other more expensive options.Pros of The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% in Squalane: I recommend this product to all those who are looking for potent and affordable anti-ageing skincare serum. The Ordinary recommends that up to three different skincare products by the brand can be layered. It does not interfere with the following skin care steps. Just a couple of drops are enough to cover and face.
The product has no fragrance, it is lightweight and easy to spread on face. I use it after cleanser, toner and essence. I do not think it can fight age spots but can fights sign of ageing (due to skin losing its moisture).
This formula is not an over-night formula and needs patience and diligence and will take its own time to show its effect. It did effectively reduce fine lines and large pores and gave a youthful, glowing appearance to skin. I do not have age spots or blemishes, so I cannot comment about the potency of this serum in this regard, but because of its high moisture content, it started to give a hydrated appearance to face (I used it for over a month). I use it as a face oil and the days I use this way, I do not layer a lot of skin care products because retinoid is a strong chemical and does not blend well with most skin care products. I use this product after my water-based skin care products (toners and water-based serums).
