Hey guys, so today I'm reviewing the Ordinary Grenactive Retinoid 5% in Squalane. I have no idea how I'm pronouncing this. This is retinol. It's a 5% retinol. This is my most favorite retinol I think that I've ever used. I've tried a bunch of different brands, but I always keep coming back to this one. It's super affordable and it's like a very high concentration retinol. I used to have sensitive skin, but honestly it's kind of worked its way up to being a little bit more adaptive to different products. I've never had any issues with breakouts or hives with this one right here. It's very moisturizing for a retinol. It does not dry your skin out and it just comes on very smooth, very affordable. I love the Ordinary. I highly, highly recommend this as a starter, but also just to keep coming back to. It's a phenomenal product.

I'm using 2% but when I will be done with this 2% bottle I will be ready for 5% and I'm super excited. Of course I use my retinol at night. It's a part of my nighttime routine and this is what I double cleanse with my squalene cleanser. Then I apply one dropper of retinol all over my face, neck and chest and I even put a little bit around my eyes. I tested that before. Maybe it might not work for you. You have to be careful with that but yes I put the same product around my eyes and then I follow with my eye cream. After retinol I love to follow with azelaic acid. Then I put moisturizer on top. Since it's nighttime routine I do have to follow with sunscreen. It's pretty easy but super effective. Next morning don't forget moisturizer. Please don't forget moisturizer. It's super important so you don't waste it.
