Retinols make your skin more sensitive, so there might be slight burning as you apply it. But, this seemingly fabulous ingredient might cause intolerance in your skin if not used properly. Retinol is also a great ingredient for age-related skin issues including the first appearance of fine lines, sudden dryness, uneven skin tone, and age spots. Retinol doesn’t help in keeping the face matte like other ingredients, it will teach your skin cells not to secret too much oil. You can use retinol if you have super oily skin with frequent breakouts. Studies have shown that Vitamin A, if used properly, can help with a plethora of skin issues. But the best part is, all the ingredients are skin-friendly.īefore getting into my experience on Minimalist Granactive Retinoid 2%, let’s clear some clouds around retinol first. Since retinoid is not a very stable compound, there are some stabilizing ingredients too. According to the ingredients list, this serum contains Granactive Retinoid in 2% strength in aloe vera gel base. However, the serum was quite light for the skin and got absorbed into my skin within a second. I thought it would leave an oily residue.

Its ingredients are white in color so the serum looks whitish too. I appreciate Minimalist for providing a complete ingredients list in the bottle’s label as well as its black cardboard outer packaging.Ĭolour & Texture: Minimalist Retinoid Granactive 2% face serum is colorless. I use the dropper as my go-to spatula and it picks the desired amount of product in one go. Sadly, the dropper is not that effective at picking the product because of the thick consistency of the product inside. The brand has attached a clear plastic dropper in the screw lid of the serum bottle. Also, you should save your retinols from direct sunlight or excess humidity. Vitamin A derivative products such as retinol and retinoids might lose their efficacy if kept in clear packaging. Packaging: This retinoid-based face serum comes in a dark glass bottle. I have spotted the entire range of Minimalist skincare at Amazon, Nykaa, and Flipkart. Where to Buy? Minimalist products are available on their own website.
