Granactive Retinoid 02% Face Cream | Anti Aging Night Cream | Reduces Wrinkles & Fine Lines | Improves Skin Elasticity, Boosts Collagen for Radiant & Glowing Skin | 1 Fl Oz / 30 ml

I got good results with this cream. it absorbs quickly and it is easy to apply to my face and absorbed quickly. I noticed how smooth my face looked the next couple of days.

Honestly overall a great product! Been using it for a few weeks, no irritation at all...not the strongest retinoid so you won't see results fast.

The Minimalist brand is new to me. I was intrigued by the formulations & low price point, which remind me of The Ordinary & Inkey List, two affordable brands with many products I find to be effective. I'm very experienced when it comes to retinol/retinal/retinaldihyde. I've used Tretinoin off & on for the past 5 years but it's been a minute. My goal is to start Tret again but bc it's been a while I felt it would be a good idea to start reintroducing my skin in order to avoid destroying my moisture barrier while reaping the anti-aging benefits that these products provide. The Minimalist 2% Retinoid Anti-Aging Night Emulsion has a much thinner texture than I expected but I definitely appreciate it as you only need 1 or 2 pumps for the face & neck. Zero fragrance, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), & dermatologically tested. Smooth application, absorbs nicely, without that greasy, or tacky feeling left behind, & it layers well with other products (no pilling). The product is housed in a tube with a pump, which may, or may not, be air tight (better than a jar, dropper, or squeeze tube imo) & the product dispenses easily. I've only been using this emulsion every other night for about 3 weeks (with the Minimalist Retinal eye cream) & I really like it! It's not Tretinoin, which is the gold standard, but it's definitely a quality product, perfect for a Retinoid newbie, or someone more experienced like myself who's restarting their anti-aging journey. Highly recommended!

I like this

I would highly highly recommend this product! I've been on a mission to try and have a solid skin care routine. I've tried different products but this one is one of my subscriptions. At first I would definitely recommend to using it every few days at first so your skin can get used to it. You may get some peeling but once you're used to it you can switch to every night. I'm obsessed. I have definitely noticed a difference in my 11's and forehead lines. My friends don't think I look my age and I owe it to this magic in a bottle. I do wish it was a bigger bottle but for the price it's perfect. There is no smell which is nice.

Learned about this product from Dr. Vanita Rattan who specializes in skin of color. This product has tightened and brightened my skin. I use it at night and I love the look of my skin when I wake up. I also feel like I can go about my day with less makeup. I love this product and definitely recommend it.

I was looking forward to this purchase, as I love the 2% salicylic acid serum. However, this was so watery I used it a few times and threw it out. It would literally run on my finger when I pumped out the solution. It was terrible! If you like extremely watery and wet lotions, then you will love it.

This is not as high quality as Neutrogena’s version. Very thin and watery. I can’t see much impact on my skin.

i gave this 3 stars since it’s a little disappointing as the consumer to hold a new/unused product that feels almost all used up. i’d suggest changing the packaging, or add more product to it so that it feels full upon first usage. the face cream has a serum-like texture, no smell and is lightweight but not watery when applying. i’ll be updating with results after i have used it more.

Gentle formula with visible results after a few weeks. No peeling or redness.

Tiene buena calidad pero no mucha! A veces he sentido un poco de escozor al ponerla

Minimalist is great! Always outstanding quality at a great price. Nothing bad to say about this product.

Ottima crema, a differenza di altre questa è più leggera e non ha creato, nel mio caso, problemi alla pelle. Seguire sempre le indicazioni fornite dal produttore, idratare bene la pelle, spalmarla nelle ore notturne e proteggeresi di giorno con una crema solare per evitare reazioni indesiderate.
