Granactive Retinoid 2% Face Cream

Retinoids reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of photo-aging by influencing a variety of cellular processes such as epidermal proliferation, skin thickening, compaction of the stratum corneum, and biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycans. They also promote cellular growth resulting in younger radiant skin.

Yes, Retinoid serum is safe to use every night. Start with 2-3 times a week and gradually work your way up as tolerated. It may cause minor side effects such as redness and irritation, which dissipate within a few weeks as your skin gets adjusted.

Like any other skincare active, retinoid also takes time to adjust as your skin starts getting accustomed to the same; in the first 2-3 weeks of use, your cell turnover increases, causing your pores to purge. However, these side effects will dissipate in 2-3 weeks as the skin becomes used to the cell turnover rate.

The retinoid ingredient added in minimalist serum is of smaller molecule size. It does not clog your pores. So, you might see little purging but not breakouts.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should not use this product without consulting their healthcare provider first.
