#THE ORDINARY GRANACTIVE RETINOID 2 EMULSION 30ML REVIEW SKIN#
Toner/FTE: Mizon skin power first essence I'll answer any question about the retinoid or other products of my routine on the comments!Ĭleanser: Cosrx Good morning low pH cleanser I hope this was useful for you all! I'll put my routine down here, if you're curious about it. I thought this was an oil, but is a very light liquid that's suitable for oily skin, or people with a lot of steps that doesn't want to overload their skin. I didn't try the Emulsion, but it seems like is more moisturizing. I swear that my skin is smoother, even my partner said that I looked better this morning.ĭo I recommend this? Absolutely. My pimples are flat and not as red as before, and the tiniest ones did dissapear. I honestly can't understand how my skin improved so much in just a couple of hours. I used a ridiculous amount, so I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction. Because I'm not the kind of person that relies on subjective opinions, I decided to take a photo of my skin and compare with the ones that I took yesterday. Today I woke up and I thought that my skin was nicer than yesterday, but I was like "nah, just placebo effect, my skin is the same". I left it "dry" for 5 minutes and I applied my moisturizer, then went to sleep. I'm happy with this, since I use a lot of products at night and I was left with zero residue, so I'd recommend this to people with extensive routines or that doesn't need extra hydration. It dried fast, but didn't left my face feeling unconfortable or tight. Difficult to spread, but since I used very little product it might be my fault. I don't think I used more than a drop for my face, I put a bit on my cheeks and forehead. I applied it almost at the end of my routine, just before my moisturizer. I took some photos of my skin, because I like to control the state of my skin. It was my first time using retinoids, so I was very cautious. The bottle is dark and protects the product from the sun. The packaging is the same as the other TO products, and even thought I don't like the dropper, I see why it's useful in this product, since other metod would dispense an excesive amount of liquid. Very fast, I was pleased and very excited to try it, so I opened it the same night. I'm from Spain, if you want to have the reference. I ordered this on September 1, it was shipped on 4 and appeared in front of my door the 8. I live in a very dry and hot climate, and my skin concerns are basically acne and dehydration. Either way, here's my review!įirst, my skin is normal/dry, dehydrated and acne prone. I decided to share this with you all because it's a new product and I didn't saw many reviews, and I thought it may be useful if you want to try it, or compare it with the TO Emulsion. Also, I'm non-native so my english may not be perfect. When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids.Hi!
