2% GRANACTIVE RETINOID:
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is a high-performing retinoic ester with the power of retinol without sensitization and superior stability.
Granactive retinoid belongs to the next generation of retinoids. It is sometimes referred to as hydroxypinacolone retinoate or HPR.
It's gentler than retinol. This is because granactive retinoid combines with a solvent that can improve skin absorption and tolerability.
So it's less likely to cause irritation or redness even at higher concentrations.
Compared to the other types of retinoids, granactive retinoid is a synthetic retinoic acid ester.
Upon absorption, it is metabolized into both retinol and retinoic acid.
That means it doesn't need to wait for retinol to undergo conversion, and your cells can immediately metabolize it. As such, you can enjoy the multiple skin perfecting benefits much faster.
