Whether you love her, hate her or have an unhealthy obsession with her like me, you can’t deny Kim Kardashian West is a trend setter. From fashion to beauty, she’s always ahead of the game, so obviously she’s using one of the most coveted skincare brands in the world right now (FYI it sold out in Canada and the US when Kim posted it on her app).
But you don’t have to be a celeb to use Kim’s go-to anti-ageing product; The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2% is $17.90.
What Is It?
Previously known as the Advanced Retinoid 2%, it’s one of the most popular retinoid-based products from The Ordinary. ‘Retinoid’ is a broad name for any product that contains a derivative of Vitamin A. Known for being one of the most effective ingredients for anti-ageing, it comes in different potencies and varying formulations to reduce sensitivity.
The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid Emulsion 2% contains two different forms of retinoids that are easily absorbed by the skin. This product is a moderate-strength formula with low irritation levels – the active ingredient in this formula is a less abrasive alternative to other forms.
